I wrote this silly song in 5 minutes and recorded it in around 60 minutes in an attempt to entertain and amuse you — and most of all, to encourage you to post!
SAY HELLO
I want you here, that’s why you’re here…
but if you’re silent, then I don’t see a point that’s there
so tell me now, give me a sign
if it means something
then make your presence clearI want you all to stop and say hello
I want you all to stop and say hellosay hello
say helloWords and music, copyright, 2005, Peter Woods. (You know, because it’s gonna be a hit!)

41He’s right. This is pretty good. Keep going on.
Please list the instruments you used.
Ha, thanks. I only wrote it to be silly and show how far I’ll go to encourage everyone to comment more often! I suppose I should start recording my originals instead of covers at this point. As far as what I used, I’m not on my DAW PC now, but from memory:
Electric Guitars: Orange Tree Samples Evolution Rock Standard, Evolution Indie Rock – Evolution guitars are my go-to guitars. Nothing comes close to their ease of use and realism, IMO. I put this together super quick and didn’t do editing or tweaking on the MIDI. I just played it and accepted that it wasn’t perfect. But Evolution guitars sound better and more realistic than any other virtual guitar instrument out of the box. Personally, I just want to be able to play and get a decent sound. I have no interest in spending tons of time with MIDI, and besides, with my tendinitis, that would certainly result in pain for me. I think I had — way in the back of the mix — an instance of NI’s Session Guitarist (the Les Paul that comes with Komplete collection).
Bass Guitar: Evolution Vintage Violin Bass – This sampled Höfner 500/1 violin bass guitar. I begged Greg Shclaepfer to sample that for over a decade and do the magic he does with guitar-based instruments that even his competitors have praised to me privately Andew Aversa, the developer who did Big Fish Audio’s Electricity told me that he reverse engineered Greg’s guitar libraries to script those libraries, another BIG legendary Kontakt developer privately told me that his guitar libraries — like everyone else’s — can’t hold a candle to Evolution (I don’t want to share his name after that one, but everyone here knows who he is).
Electric Piano: UJAM Vice Vibe – I just bought the 5 for deal and picked up 4 of their pianos/electric pianos and love how the each have a lot of very usable and inspiring presets.
Superior Drummer 3 – I don’t remember which kit I used, but I think it was from the factory library. SD3 is my go-to choice for acoustic drums.
For the effect chain on vocals, I use ezMIX 3 and love it. It blows away ezMIX 2 (I realize that I might be getting the capitalization wrong on that!). I love being able to dial up ready-made effects chains that sound great.
