I am going keep little tid bits here, morsels.lol
So my first track is definitely not done but it is a step closer. Today I got the a bunch more plugins working (winders related disapproval caused)
First try to get Plugin Alliance back up was a fail. It worked today, got installed and I am so happy for the little things .
The amplifier I used for the guitar was my DSL 40C , plugged it in to my make shift amp combo conversion ( Courtesy of Crate) I don’t now if they made a 1 x 12 closed back cab but they do now.
Mic’s SM57 45 on cone close.
The Bass is the Epiphone Embassy DI to my Cranbourne 500 series Pre -amp ( that thing is sweet)
2 vocal tracks panned opposite. Now that I have been through this process, vocals are by far and away the hardest thing to capture in a recording. I used my newest microphone the Rhode NT1-A

Philosophy.
I started thinking about the world, we have to be the most cynical in music.
I had a project when I went to Community College. It was a report, I chose a book about Rudolf Diesel and the invention of the Diesel engine. He created a mountain of technical Data on paper. The engine was introduced at the 1900 world fair in France.
Despite the fact that the first engine was 26% more fuel efficient than a steam engine.
The United States resisted buying the engine.
It took decades for it sell in the US market.
The other side of the coin was steam.
From “how stuff works”
“For the Newcomen engine, Thomas Newcomen, an English inventor, took inspiration from Savery’s separation of the boiler and steam cylinder, as well as Denis Papin’s steam-drivem piston. In doing so, he played a crucial role in advancing steam power. In the early 18th century.”
So the steam engine for locomotives was dominate . In mean time , Rudolf Diesel was going broke. He had a mansion and his family.
Sadly, even though he discovered the most significant internal combustion engine, he went broke.
He crossed the English Channel and was never seen again. Got to be a moral of the story?

The lyrics, a bit of mess . I was writing it during recording.
Verse 1
Pedal!
Riding bikes at a devil’s pace
Sliding down the gravity well
Wind in our face
Down the hill, up to the top
Down the other side
Hope we can stop
Verse 2
Rock-cobbled roads, dust in our face
Got home with no light not even a trace
Shadows loom as the night fell
Heluva hill , everyday a trail
Pre-Chorus
Rhythm of the pedal climbing higher
Topped the hill with lungs on fire
On the grips, , heart race
Racing the River at a devil’s pace.
Chorus
Chasing hell, bit the dust
Another story to tell
Did it well
Verse
Drop in the gravity well
Oh no , I hit some rocks, I fell
Darkness up, I went down
Started to rain , put a smile on my face
Never felt no pain
Getting to the top, getting in the rhythm
Crash mountain in the way
Full pace, can’t stop
Chorus
Chasing hell
Bit the dust
Another story to tell
Out of the box
Never jumped a river
We jumped the rocks
Never let the World
Get in your way
If there’s a hill to climb
Today’s the day

I have heard it all live , well there are exceptions. But most of my significant influences I have seen live , I paid for the show, the CD, the vinyl, the cassette and in some cases video.
Who got rich from my hard earned cash ?
The artist? Ask the remaining members of Sabbath how much they received in cash ?
I have paid but if the artist got ripped off , it’s not my fault.
Napster , I have a clear conscious. Not a fan , free is great but nothing is free.
Then along comes Hip Hop and samples, who’s music do the samples belong to ?
So for me, yes I enjoy rock n roll.
Every single historic band ripped off an idle from before their time.
Where do you think rock came from ?
British Anglo-Saxon?
Anyway , this rant is rooted in AI music.
It needs to uphold copy-write but I almost bet when it goes to court the judge will throw it out because it is about perception.
Can you say I intentionally copied a song when it randomly came from memory not being copied note for note ?
How many bands have been sued for copyright? A crap load , most of them dismissed.
What this leads to is , a song.
