Hi Troy, long time no contact
While enjoying the video series on all things picks I couldnāt help but notice that you are mentioning a couple of times that you are not sure about the exact physics and science behind some of the tonal effects. If you are interested in digging a bit deeper on that aspect I can very much recommend a guy named Manfred Zollner. He is one crazy german professor who spent most of his spare time the last 15-some years in the lab figuring out what exactly the physics behind electric guitars (and strings, pickups, amps, speakers, mics, ā¦) are . His results are captured in a series of books. āPhysik der Elektogitarreā consisting of 3 volumes that add up to thousands of pages of deep scientific stuff on these topics. Awesome! At this time I believe the books are still not translated to English, which is a shame, but he is also running the Gitec Forum website (https://gitec-forum.de/wp/en/) that offers translations for some articles and chapters. Anyways, I know this guy and Iām sure heāll be glad to provide his scientific insight on any questions you might have.
Cheers,
Holger
I think a download of the version of the Buck Rogers theme song is called for. Troyās arragement (especially the guitar tones) is AWESOME!!!
Hereās a Soundcloud link. Full mix, backing, and lead/strings/synth. I donāt think we have built any song download capability for the actual platform, ironically enough. Weāll put that on the to-do list.
Edit: Threw in some Marty Friedman / Li-Sa-X Speed Racer. Always liked that one.
These are frigginā AWESOME!!! Iām loving every lesson here on CTC, but at some point, Troy, please share your music production and engineering process for getting your guitar tones and stuff!!
We do have a couple things along these lines, behind the scenes from a while back about the production of some Cracking the Code original soundtrackā¦I think youāll enjoy if you havenāt seen these yet!
Duh. Forgot about those!
