I don't think there is an envelope filter on this-but the Tone Port does have some weird compression on it that i can't seem to get rid of.Just checked out "Guitar Wanker".Great playing! Check out my latest song called I Could Write a Book

Wonderfully light and airy and you have such a great 'quality' sound in your recordings. I could just imagine Louis singing this with that 'off the beaten track' syncopated ad lib in the middle. Just wonderful,....... and who besides you knew that 'Twinkle .....'and 'Wonderful World' were the same tune LOL you're right they are. We learn something every day, regards M Check out my latest song called Shine Your Light

Another classic from you Mark. Love the guitar tone on this and you seem to have lost that buzz sound. The playing is as usual faultless and it's a very catchy and lively tune. Thanks for a really lovely and refreshing listen. Cheers Len Check out my latest song called B E A U T I F U L

I do wish, Mark... ...that you would stop bombarding us with tunes that are, frankly, slaves to melody, harmony and rhythm... On the plus side, playing with those weights on your thumbs seems to have really helped... Seriously, sir, every time I listen to you play my spirits are lifted and my taste is broadened...

It's not that hard when you take the chord progression from an old song and write a new melody.(An original concept that I recently came up with- I don't think it's ever been done before)How did you know that I've been working out with thumb weights?

Amazing! Top playing Mark - and that's no great surprise! So many notes/so few fingers :) I can't imagine what level of discipline it takes to reach this level of playing. I still think you could improve your recording though (although this seems to be more "alive" than some others of yours). But that's maybe just me :) Absolutely incredible playing - as Fran would say, deepest bows! Neil Check out my latest song called News Is Gonna Break

I admit I don't know anything about recording.Wish I could drop over to Australia and you could help me out!My total investment in recording equipment so far amounts to $300 and I kind of barely know how to use it.(Abelton)I think I need to get some sort of Mastering software- I've been using the "normalize" function on Wavelab to raise the level but it seems to come out kind of distorted.If you have any suggestions let me know!

Another gem from the maestro Everything you do is spectacular, and goes right to my iPod. Thank you for your gifts, which flow so naturally from your fingers. This song, while light in mood, is done with a master's touch, and succeeds in elevating the listener, just as you intended. Your talent continues to amaze me.

Yehhhh! Nice piece, Mark and well-played... as usual. This is a terrific tribute to one of the most important figures in 20th Century music. Yes, old Satchmo's unique brand of music was an inspiration for a lot of white musicians, like Bing Crosby, who wanted to put a little pizazz in their work. Listening to some of his old sessions is a very pleasant experience. So was this. ;) --- Joe Check out my latest song called A Chance To Dream

humble sweetness The gentle ear-popping compressor that's on this recording was definitely a distraction at first, but quickly melted away as I became enveloped in the music itself... Man oh man you really know how to create a great piece of music... this just bubbles along like a Spring brook through a meadow of poppies. And your playing is both "dead-on" timing-wise and also quite fluid... not sure how you do that. In the end, it all comes together to make yet another delightful piece of yours! ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Belle Aire (for Mandolin Orchestra)

I dig it! I was wondering why the envelope filter, but then I got images of a trumpet player holding a plunger at the end of his instrument making the same sounds. Good stuff. Nice techniqe too. I wish I was that good.
