I do like a bit of bassoon… while writing this I realised there was a SWAM Contrabassoon (totally forgot it was available)… there’s the next project sorted 😊

Many thanks Keith for listening and taking the time to comment. I totally agree, it’s a great app. I will check out the content on your channel asap… do you have any featuring GeoShred ? All the best !

Thanks Joseph 🙏

Yes indeed… thanks for dropping in 👍

@@geotony Have been in Ireland as a Student for half a year. A pitty I did not hike much back then.

@@Buszkraftowski Hi, just checked out your channel. Looks interesting. Big fan of Scotland, try and and go once or twice a year. I have a playlist for the Isle of Mull and the Lofoten Islands if your interested 😊

@@geotony Will check :)

The location helped a lot 🙏

Very kind of you Mac 🙏 I enjoyed doing this one even though it’s a bit mournful.

That’s very kind of you to say, much appreciated. #138 Lullaby is probably the longest ambient track but the Isle of Mull and Lofoten Island playlist are probably most similar to the Connemara one. All the best 👍

Thanks Joseph, this more or less popped out inspired by the sound and the scenery. Could have refined it more but it sort of works.

Thanks Colin. I’ve used the RJS guitar quite a bit, always on the Old Strings setting. Very nice… and free !

Thanks Colin, 1st and 4th tracks are a bit more upbeat and lively 😊

Cheers Fernando, hope you enjoyed the others, nice (lucky) shot of some otters at the end of the third one (A tri)

@@geotony Loved them! Just yearned for more on the short ones ☺

That’s great. My favourites are probably the Sax, Viola and Clarinet. While they are on sale it’s a bargain !

@@geotony Having into account that ALL are SWAM instruments…

Thanks Colin… hope the GeoShred Studio stuff is working out OK 👍

@@geotony Thanks. Worked like a dream when I tried it but not had the opportunity to really give it a run as yet.

👍

Many thanks 👍 Effect is just a bit of reverb from TB Reverb. Never had an iPhone so no idea what the 3D Touch would do for the expression 🤔 I’ve used GS on iPad more or less everyday for the last 4 years so I guess I’m getting used to it. Volume / expression on the y axis just seems natural to me now 😊

Thanks Fernando, appreciate you taking the time 👍

🙏… you wouldn’t say that though if you had to sit through all of my attempts to get it right 😊

Cheers Colin. I could have carried on and tried to get a better take but I was happy with the end result. Take it easy !

Thanks Joseph. It came together in an hour or so. I could have spent more time on it but it sort of felt right. I appreciate you listening and taking the time to comment 🙏

Many thanks for listening and taking the time to comment. I’ve just re listened to it and quite enjoyed it 😊

Many thanks Joseph, hope you’re keeping well 🙏

totally agree

Thanks for the kind words Colin, the guitar is iFretless which has some nice sounds 👌

Many thanks Irena, I’m not sure a maestro would have needed 30 ish attempts to get it right 😊

Thanks Joseph, I tend to agree, the second was next and the 3rd was, err, 3rd. Could have tried another version but too many other tracks on the go that need further mangling 😊

Cheers Fernando. These days I don’t have to hit generate many times on PM before something inspires me… you’ve done a great job 🙏

Thanks Tony, it is very gratifying to hear that you're getting lots of inspiration from PM! It's always a treat to listen to what you can do with the app.

Not sure about King… if you watch Jordan Rudess or some of the Indian musicians (GS is big in India) I think I would settle for a lesser out of favour Baron sort of level 😊 The only thing I do that I can’t find anybody else doing is playing chords with GS. All the videos I can find show monophonic lead playing 🤔

Hiya, trick question as they have different ‘bonus’ features. Obviously they sound a bit different so that may sway you in a direction. GeoViolin has harmonics (which I quite like) and Naada doesn’t. Naada has pizzicato and double stopping (playing two notes at once) which GeoViolin doesn’t have. Also Naada is a bit easier to play with non MPE controllers although this is perfectly possible with GeoViolin. This one isn’t an issue for me as I use GeoShred 99% of the time. So I guess if we assigned points to these pluses and minuses the you could argue that Naada is more versatile 🤔 Hope that helps 😊

Many thanks for the listen and comment… you’re absolutely right of course. I should have used more vibrato and attack. Also thanks for putting me on to Gasparian 👍

👍

Thanks Colin 🙏

Cheers 👍 I don’t use Cubasis so can’t help but as far as a I know it should be just like any other AUV3 sound source. Happy to try and help if I can !

Many thanks, great that it took you somewhere in your imagination , closest movie I can think of to this is the Italian Job 🤨

@@geotony The movie I had in mind was Babel from 2006 🍿

@@cherrymountains72 Missed that one 😕

I’ll keep pumping them out while you keep listening … deal ?

@@geotony Hahaha. Deal. 😅

Thank you Joseph

Hiya. So you have Decent Sampler installed. The RJS Guitar is on PianoBook.co.uk which has loads of free Decent Sampler instruments on it as well as those found on the Decent Sampler web site via the app. Re connecting the apps are you using a DAW such as AUM, Logic, Cubasis etc to host the apps. I use AUM all the time and in this case you just load Ds in an instrument slot, GS in a MIDI slot and then connect them as usual. let me know if it is something different than this and as can investigate. all the best.

@@geotony thanks, i will check it out this week for sure, checked out one of your collaboration tracks and commented with my other profile, ‘jeff fox guitar’, really great stuff.You are the best geoshred artist i have heard by far.

@@geotony still haven’t tried your method yet, i found that guitar sample online, how do you put that into an ipad?Just download it straight to ipad?Thanks again.

@@galarius Yes just click on the download button on the Piano Book web site. If there is a choice that just says Decent Sampler then use that one. If it only has an option for e.g. Kontact and Decent Sampler then use that. This will download a zip file to your Download folder. In the case of the RJS Guitar it is a Kontact / DS zip file so there is an additional step to do that you don’t need if it just DS. I.e. Navigate to the downloaded zip file in the Files app and just tap it. This will create a folder called, in this case, RJS Guitar Pianobook Package. This will contain a zip file that has.. (DS).. in the name. Then in Decent Sampler, from the top right menu do File and then Load. Navigate to the ..(DS).. zip file that is in the RJS Guitar Pianobook Package folder and open it. Decent Sampler should now unzip it and load the samples.

@@geotony awesome, thanks…..Will get back to you about my first effort to use in Cubasis, didn’t work so far.May have to get Cubasis 3 as i still have Cubasis 2.

Cheers Colin, not many nice beaches along the Irwell unfortunately although I did see a Kingfisher fly up past the Mark Addy years ago…

Many thanks MoW, I can only claim credit for the sounds 😊

No problem… I’ve been playing GeoShred for almost 5 years now so I’ve built up a bit of muscle memory re finger placement etc and I am very familiar with the playing surface. While iFretless is very similar it is sufficiently different to make it (for me) more difficult to play and I would rather stick with one method of playing so I prefer to continue with GeoShred. This doesn’t mean to say there is anything wrong with iFretless 😊

Thanks for the listen and comment 👍

Thanks Colin, ‘real guitarist’ is as good as it gets as a compliment… much appreciated 🙏

Absolutely!

Yes indeed although I also have Senode and NodeBeat which are quite spherical but too much for my little grey cells 🤔
