LINE 6 POD HD500 PART 5 HUGE MULTITRACK RECORDING By Chris Beaver

[musicmangit1]

HI man, very nice tones, upload some plz!!

Gretings from Greece!

[danson1992]

there's definitely a progressive metal undertone to this song haha

[dfranks50]

Fantastic! I love the tone and sound around the 50 sec marker. Any chance you post your HD500 patch for the tone at that marker???

[mrchrisbeaver]

@dfranks50 Thankyou, The tone at the 50 sec mark is the same tone as the part before it. It sounds different because i'm using my sustainiac pup for that part. Believe it or not my guitar sounds like that acoustically when the sustaiac is engaged. Ill upload some patches to line 6 tone exchange soon as i have the time :)

[JRCrowley]

LOL "Smooth Beaver" Awesome. Great sound, great playing, beautiful guitar, very classy all around. :)

[JOSAFAGUITARRA]

Olá Chris Beaver, gostei dos teu efeitos na HD500. Você tem eles no site da line6 para baixar?

Parabéns pelo som.

[enatormaster47]

very good, congratulations

[NR2112]

Oh man. This is awesome.....

[mantusthroneovshiva]

[VadimGuitar]

Holy shit man, brilliant. The structure of this piece is phenomenal. Reminds me very much of Steve Vai. Outstanding, absolutely outstanding.

[sxipshirey]

Chris, sitting here with Elyas Khan in Berlin and we love this. We were looking for video of the HD 500You are a great musician with a great sense of humor and a great melodic and compositional sense. Cheers! -Gentlemen and Assassins

[tlcinc2]

Awesome stuff Chris...was just looking for some input on the hd500 when I stumbled on your vid. Brilliant work! Please send me the link

Thanks

John

[Jakexx01]

How did you go about tracking the drums? Great video! I like the melodious nature of your music. REAL ART ISN'T DEAD AFTER ALL! I hear elements of ELP along with a host of other prog rock influences. Thanks.

[WingThaiJ]

You have to wonder where there's people come from who click 'dislike'.. probably would rather listen to " I don't know how to sing so I guess I'll have to talk with a Drum Machine' noise

[LeadBlimp]

Beautiful...but one question, did you alter the guitar recordings in any way after recording through USB?

[felipe777star]

It's amazing. Congratulation!!!

[mrchrisbeaver]

@felipe777star Thankyou

[arntpa]

Hi Chris... a little "off topic" question for you.

What video-software are you using to edit your videos and add those fx etc?

Regards from Arnt P.

[mrchrisbeaver]

@arntpa Hi Arnt. i use adobe premier pro 5 for all my video work

[imotept]

Such a warm beautiful tone, every note rings so nicely and so much dynamics, great playing.

[Mangopositive]

Thanks for helping me decide to pull the trigger on an HD500! Good stuff!

[arntpa]

This is by far the coolest and most complex geniousally guitar-song I've ever heard... and I have heard some ... I hope (as I subscribed to your channel before I even read this in the info) that you would let me have a copy of it. You haven't done any CD releases? - I would buy without hesitating a sec. GENIOUS! Thanks a million! -From Arnt P in Norway

[mrchrisbeaver]

@arntpa Thanks very much arnt. ill post you the link today

[ACDCwarmachine]

what setting are you using for your jazz tone? im using one of these next for jazz band and im going to run it through a single PA speaker for gigs.

[spacefrogify]

totally diggin your stuff. subbed

Also you convinced me to get a POD HD500 :P

[utubebiznu]

What VST drum did you use. Are they preset patterns or you create your own? Thanks,

[mrchrisbeaver]

@utubebiznu i used superior drummer 2 for drum.. i wrote the drum score in a piano roll

[prognosis77]

sweet, you are so versital in your playing. really enjoyed this one

[tlbjchipman]

How were the drums recorded?

[Bebisatch]

Thanks for sharing a piece of yourself Chris. Thanks for the Inspiration

[prettdboy]

[MBAZ100]

is the bass recorded through the POD?

[mrchrisbeaver]

@MBAZ100 yes the bass was done on the hd too, i used a little compression and eq and bypassed the amp models

[MBAZ100]

@mrchrisbeaver Thanks man, after watching your videos I went out and bought the HD500. It arrives on tuesday, I can't wait :D

[mrchrisbeaver]

[barkeg050]

Awsome!!! I like that song really much! Very smooth!

I have watched all your videos! Greate playing and great tone!

Can you send me the link please? (if there were still some copys =)) I'm a subscriber.

Do you sell your music? I mean on itunes or somthing like this.

[zemunac007]

Great Job, everything well put together, smooth playing, great sound ...

More :-)))

I'm waiting for mine HD500 :-)

Do you record bass and vocals (if any) over the HD500, because i noticed there are no patches for them, unlike POD X3. Tnx

Great Job, once again

[mrchrisbeaver]

@zemunac007 thanks.... ya i use the hd to record the bass too. it don't have any bass amp models but i like to only use a compressor on a bass anyway Ive always preferred a dircet to desk DI sound for bass, haven't tried vox with it i think my wife would turn it off if i did as i sound like a cat lol

[6Hellbilly6Deluxe6]

@zemunac007

there is a Mic in for it... so yes you can record vocals :D ... its not a 1/4" jack tho ... its the other one.

[anathron]

@6Hellbilly6Deluxe6 XLR one :) With level control :)

[darkpassat]

Hi Chris, it´s an amazing song I wish you the best, you give me that push I was needing to buy de pod hd thanks, now I have to learn about it XD, but thanks, please can you send me the link?

[mrchrisbeaver]

@darkpassat  thanks,,, ive just sent you the link

[jabbertheferb]

great track really smooth, great feel, top player

[mrchrisbeaver]

@jabbertheferb  thanks very much

[downfader2]

This is epic. Reminds me a bit of Queen in places too!

[mrchrisbeaver]

@downfader2 its funny you said that as on my next video im doing a complete cover of queens bohemian rhapsody. im working on it now, it should be ready in a few weeks. thanks for the kind words

[Bulletisred]

Chris sounds great man keep up the great work. I have a question, What DAW did you record this in and did you go directly (USB) with the HD500? I can get some things I record to sound good but I can't seem to get good volume levels, i always have to crank the volume on the stereo (in the car or at home) a third to a half times louder then standard recordings from regular CD's Any help would be greatful if you have the time. Again keep up the good work :-)

[mrchrisbeaver]

@Bulletisred i use cubase 5 for all my recordings,, i dont use the hd,s usb as i allready have a good external soundcard but the pod hd500 usb works very well,,. To get your overall levels loud you need to use a volume Maximizer on the master output buss, there are many plugins that will do this, like waves L3 , izotope ozone, voxengo elephant etc most daws will have their own variant of a Maximizer built in,, thanks for the kind words

[Bulletisred]

@mrchrisbeaver , Thanks for replying so fast. I'll have to look into a volume maximizer for sure. This particular piece here reminds me of a few bands, a little bit of Yes, with some Alan Parsons Project thrown in and as someone mentioned before some Dream theater with a dash of classic Genesis. Not a comparison but a compliment.

[ehss192]

nuts... That was awesome! I love it when a picture is painted and I'm taken on a ride.

Once again. Excellent stuff.

[ssssaint]

please get in contact with ronald jenkees somehow! or at least look his stuff up. i swear you guys would make ultimate prog band. Great music anyways. You've got a fan for life!

[1rock1gibson]

[LFBulldog]

Hi Chris

I have seen the posts in the forums but will comment here instead m8 :)

cheers for the preview b4 this went live m8, always a pleasure to hear and see your music m8, this has all the Beaveresk things going on, you never disapoint m8, your music is full of imagination, feel and great production, really think you should try and get into TV & Movie scoring as you have the full package to carry it off for sure :) outstanding as usual m8 in every aspect of this track. congratulations m8.

[mrchrisbeaver]

@LFBulldog Thanks a lot for the kind words steve. it means all the more coming from such a gifted muscian as yourself

[christhesnaildriver]

@mrchrisbeaver I was going to sub anyway after watching the pure awesome-ness of the last 4 parts, but of course - I'd love a copy of this track!

I *Did* have my heart set on an M13, but now I'm thinking a HD500 may be my dream device! Would you say it's worth sacrificing some of the "Many effects at once" etc of the M13 for the fab features this has? (eg exp pedal and pc connectivity etc)?

Cheers and Merry Christmas! (or should that be "Chris-mas...."!) Chris.

[mrchrisbeaver]

@christhesnaildriver hi chris, the hd500 has all the fx from the m13 and allows upto 8 fx at once i think the m13 allows only 4 at one time.but they have very diffrent users in mind, m13 is gonna be better for those who prefere a traditional pedalboard type setup. thanks for the kind words, ill pm you the link to this song , have a great christmas

[gnomieowns]

subbed, can i have a link? this is pretty brilliant, mate

[mrchrisbeaver]

@gnomieowns thanks bro, ill send you the link now

[LagSnake]

Hi Chris, amazing song, beautiful piece of art. Any free copys left? And few questions ofcourse, was this song (and all the other songs as well) recorded straight from the POD or using cabinets, USB interface etc.? And if I was to buy the HD 500, would it have enough "balls" to co-op with my 7-string guitar? Cheers and keep rocking!

[mrchrisbeaver]

@LagSnake many thanks, ive no idea how it would cope with a 7 string as i dont have a 7 string you may be better off asking some of the metal players with pod hd,s what they think of it with their setup,,. all my recordings are the pods direct outputs straight into my soundcard. ill send you a link for the song, all you have to do is subscribe to my channel send a pm asking for it and ill reply to the pm with the link,, thanks again

[xxrix]

I would like to have your song, and to say it all, I just purchased Magical Adventure on Itunes!! GO BEAVER GO BEAVER GO BEAVER GO BEAVER GO BEAVER!!! LOL

[mrchrisbeaver]

@xxrix thanks very much,,,, ill pm you the link for this song now

[xxrix]

Chris...what can I say....Just Beautiful...I wish I could play like you ...one day... 8)

[Hielkenator]

Cool , I think this style is called FUSION.

[BaldingRocker]

Hope I'm not too late for a free copy of this great tune. What's that pickup on the bridge?

[mrchrisbeaver]

@BaldingRocker thanks, the bridge pup is a seymour duncan 59. ill pm you the link for your free downlaod

[1Haresha1]

love hw u used the diminished scale :) Keep it up bro!!

[nigelptl]

awesome job mr. beaver. was a pleasure listening.

[BigCowz]

What studio monitors do you use chris?

[Stratomacaster]

Wow .. I totally zoned out. Took me about 10 seconds to realize it was over. Excellent composition. You're mix was super clean - paraEQ your high hats up just a tad (they were slightly flat), but overall the sound was top notch.

Nice tones. If you are giving away the song, could you also possibly do the same for some of your presets?  I got my HD500 a few weeks ago and it's absolutely fantastic. It's no AxeFX, but it's deinitely a sweet piece of gear.

Cheers.

[mrchrisbeaver]

@Stratomacaster thanks.i agree with the hats comment listening to it here...when i upload my music on youtube some of the top end goes a little mushy, it must be youtubes compression and kbs rate my wavs dont have that problem

[baxknek]

I love your guitar videos using the pod hd 500

[mrchrisbeaver]

@baxknek thanks, im hopefully going to put a few more up before christmas

[JonDeth]

Great work, very inspirational. I don't think it matters WHAT processor you're using though man, this is by far more of a testament to your hard work and skill in music production.

Every time I watch one of your vids, I get a little bit further in understanding of my own production software because I mess with it more.

[mrchrisbeaver]

@JonDeth  thanks jon

[Tooltrocity]

How're you liking the HD stuff? I play bass and not guitar but I was still looking at giving it a go and seeing how it sounds.

[mrchrisbeaver]

@Tooltrocity it,s pretty good and quite versatile

[HRodMusic]

@Tooltrocity i wouldnt recomend it for bass, it has no bass amp models =/

[SlavkoPekaric]

Very inspiring song :)

[mullen2105]

Where can I get your HD500 patches?
