And yet another ACTION/ADVENTURE/HIGH OCTANE

Here's my take on the ACTION/ADVENTURE/HIGH OCTANE INSTRUMENTALS listing. Tried ta' give it as much energy as possible. I was thinking car chase all the way. We'll see!ACTION/ADVENTURE/HIGH OCTANE INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a UK-based Production Music Library for Film/TV placement opportunities. They need really high energy tracks (no vocals) for car chase scenes, sports highlights, high suspense action/thrill footage, etc. Current sounding styles would be the best choice here: Rock/Electronica/Hard Rock/etc. A blend of orchestral instrumentation with the mentioned stylistic approaches might also be a great direction to take. They'll be looking for tracks that don't sound overly synth generated - authentic, pulsing and exciting! Your track should be within 1:00-3:00 and they'll mostly want to hear mid to uptempo tracks.

Thanks Devin, Marc, and Flood! Marc, I pulled out a coupla' old pieces of gear, and thought I'd give 'em a go. For the rhythm guitar parts, I'm using a Roland VG-8. And those riffs are working in unison with a slightly distorted bass patch from Trilogy. The lead guitar and harmonics were done using my Edirol UA-700 Audio Capture breakout box. It has the Roland COSM guitar amp modeling technology. So it's got some pretty neat stuff to work with in order to get a decent tone. Unfortunately, I don't think they manufacture those anymore. There is some support on their (Edirol's) website for this particular product, but overall, I think it's been discontinued.I-468

Great sounding stuff man!! I like the upfront drums and the guitar playing is right in the pocket!!My only question is the tempo, to me high octane would be a lot faster, but that's just me, I think you should submit cause it sounds so damn good!!!Way to go!!Mazz
