Thanks for your encouraging words. I mean, it’s #Fingerscrossed for EZGuitar and on a personal note, lasting recovery.

Hey, hasn’t Fredrik (Thordendal) got a phalanx injury and has been playing in what ultimately led to an improvement of his already impressive style ?

Sorry for the digression.

I was thinking again about cover songs… and then I realized that most of the time, it’s hard to tell what a guitar is doing exactly. I remember my early days with a bass guitar buddy playing as high as I did (that was before I adopted an 8-string and brought it down to E instead of F♯).

I had quite the talk with folks I’m not affiliated with and not advertising for, but if you think about it all from a percussionist’s perspective, the « recent » use of electronics by Veil of Maya, Born of Osiris and others like Orbit Culture has a lot in common. What is a percussionist and bass guitarist having in mind when it comes to guitar (such a broad term) is probably the use in cover songs and originals of EDM thumping along blast beats (at least four of them exist) and sub-bass synth thickness, along with some added low pitched synths to fill the gap. I’m thinking out very loud here but lately, I’ve been listening again to breakneck Bay Area thrash as well as contemporary metal (I play Renaissance and Baroque music, or globally anything from the late 15th to early 19th century, so don’t get a cliché picture)… and that combined with the century-old marriage of electronics and music —think Ondes Martenot, 1928— got me wanting to get a guitar sound that fits perfectly in my EDM-meets-metal-meets-classical-meets-EZGuitar.

I should have mentioned that covers in my world would include a ton of different elements that would otherwise not be put into a single song (and even less in a chorus -verse one. Proggie here).

Well, that’s it. Since I can’t play right now, I’m going to write down some ideas… and I’ll post links to the results if anyone wants to hear them. I’m going to post my Toontrack-helped music anyway, so …

Song covers …

Now there’s a massive potential for EZGuitar (or whatever it may be called).

1-handed guitarist here. I’m serious.
Median and ulnar nerves were seriously damaged, so I’ve got some 2 years of reeducation left. Heh, not gonna stop me.

I’m kind of a genre-smasher (S-words and G-words have been around for too long now).If anyone has a real aesthetic sense that’s not “just going against a mainstream”, and a guitarist of course, hit me up!

In case no one noticed it, there’s Logic Pro for iPad for a while now. Builtin instruments and production tools are quite nice for an iOS device, but since iPad 5th generation (I’m using an iPad Pro 6th generation with the M2 chip), linking an iPad to external devices (computer, external monitor, MIDI controller) is a breeze. Just plug and play. Sure, the major advantage of the iPad is a rather compact size packed with a powerful chip rivaling computer ones.
Considering all of this, are we going to plug our iPads each time we want to use any Toontrack product? Just asking.
