Minutes before Midnight

Sometimes things like this happen from time to time. It´s close to midnight, Hours of songwriting with really nothing substancial to work with...and then out of nothing, things coming together. I like that moment when I realize that I am about to write something worth keeping concentrated. I was feeling a bit down when I wrote this but I think there is some optimism shining throught, which was konda buried the evening so far. I hope you find some enjoyment in this little piece of music.

Thanks man, since someone said he´s listening to my music while doing the dishes, I thought "yeah, that´s just perfect" 😅

[@angelastonerlove7622]

Amazing sounds✨✨🖤Thanks😎

[@Andreas_tropicalwinter]

Thanks, it's always a pleasure seeing you stopping by!

[@kernowjoey1127]

loving the track and your videos, what an awesome set of sounds you've got ! do you ever struggle with noise when running the pedals into the interface ? I'm currently having some issues with it and not really sure of the solution.

[@Andreas_tropicalwinter]

First of all thanks! I have some trouble from time to time but have found some solutions for my setup. I turned down the preamps on my interface quiet a bit. I usually use a low pass filter on the guitar track to get rid of high frequency noise and then cut some small areas between 4-10k. But the most useful thing is to use the middle position on my guitar, since having both pickups running makes it a humbucker. Some of the noise is coming from my PC, so pointing the guitar away is helping a lot. When I render Video it's not even possible for me to have a clean signal till it's finished. What kind of noise do you sufger from?

[@Andreas_tropicalwinter]

The base noise also got a bit better sonce I use the Fender engine room power supply. It was hard to spend the money but was totally worth it.

[@kernowjoey1127]

@@Andreas_tropicalwinter Thanks a lot! it sounds like i could be suffering from a variety of those points, you've. made me realise my power supply is defiantly in need of upgrading for a start. My Microcosm especially seems to cause some issues when playing my rig into my scarlet. I'll do some trouble shooting with the points you mentioned and let you know, many thanks !

[@Andreas_tropicalwinter]

@@kernowjoey1127 Yeah, power could be a good thing to uprade since my Microcosm never had any issues with noise at all. Let me know about the progress!

What's generating the drum track?

[@Andreas_tropicalwinter]

The drums are Get Good Drums from my Daw. I recorded that loop in tempo to a simple drum part and then reprogrammed everything afterwards.
