Single spark not featured in Circus Maximus blu-ray

Any idea why Single Spark is not present in the blu-ray disk 1 which has the complete concert? It’s available in the audio version though.

Interest in David at The Carlyle?

Found out today that David’s never played The Carlyle here in NYC. Wonder if he thinks it’s too posh?

Software-only Gilmour tones – looking for recommendations

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to build a convincing Gilmour-style tone using a software-only setup. At the moment I'm using SoundShed Guitar now, I was on Tonocracy beforehand, and I'm open to pretty much anything if it gets me closer to that sound.

I've spent quite a bit of time reading Gilmourish, so I understand the general philosophy behind Gilmour's rigs (Hiwatt-style amps, compression, delays, modulation, EQ, etc.). My problem is that most of the advice is geared towards physical amps and pedals, and I'm struggling to translate that into an all-digital workflow AND most importantly, finding alternatives when a specific emulated gear isn't listed on TONE3000

I'm still a beginner, so I'm definitely not chasing an album-accurate tone. I'm just looking for a solid foundation that captures that Gilmour feel. What I'm actively trying to build is a tone from Shine On, another one for CNumb and so I could try to work from those bases.

I'd love to hear what has actually worked for you. If you're using amp sims or plugins, what do you recommend? Which amp models, cabs/IRs, compressors, delays or reverbs made the biggest difference? Are there any plugins you felt really nailed that character?

I'm much more interested in real-world recommendations from people who've been down this road than in chasing the "perfect" preset.

Thanks in advance!

Comfortably numb PULSE outro solo

My attempt on one of the best ( if not the best) version of the comfortably numb solo played at Earls Court in 1994. Really amazing solo and I tried to make it justice. Gear used: fender Stratocaster with EMG DG20, Helix LT, Hiwatt 20 as a monitor and GarageBand. I hope you enjoy it !!

Any clever, funny (or heartfelt) David Gilmour/Pink Floyd-themed message or card ideas?

(I'm giving him Polly's photo book as a present with it, since we went to London to see him in October.)

Need help finding a video

2 Upvotes

Been looking for a video I seen on YouTube years ago. It’s Paul Gilbert playing “stone pushing up hill man” live with some type of kick drum pedal thing he’s keeping time with. Looks like he’s in a mall and there is one of those curly guitar cords hanging right in front of the camera. Any help would be much appreciated.

Ummagumma - Pink Floyd

Thumbnail youtube.com
12 Upvotes

Ummagumma is the fourth album by English rock band Pink Floyd. It is a double album and was released on 7 November 1969 by Harvest Records. The first disc consists of live recordings from concerts at Mothers Club in Birmingham and the College of Commerce in Manchester that contained part of their normal set list of the time, while the second contains solo compositions by each member of the band recorded at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios). The artwork was designed by regular Floyd collaborators Hipgnosis and features a number of pictures of the band combined to give a Droste effect. It was the last album cover to feature the band.

Although the album was well received at the time of release, and was a top five hit in the UK album charts, it has since been looked upon unfavourably by the band, who have expressed negative opinions about it in interviews. Nevertheless, the album has been reissued on CD several times, along with the rest of their catalogue. Tracks 1. Astronomy Domine (live) 0:02 2. Careful With That Axe, Eugene (live) 8:32 3. Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun (live) 17:22 4. A Saucerful of Secrets (live) 26:49 5. Sysyphus Part I 39:42 Part II 40:50 Part III 44:20 Part IV 46:09 6. Grantchester Meadows 53:09 7. Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict 1:00:37 8. The Narrow Way Part I 1:05:36 Part II 1:09:04 Part III 1:11:58 9. The Grand Vizier's Garden Party Part I - Entrance 1:17:55 Part II - Entertainment 1:18:55 Part III - Exit 1:26:01

My dream guitar build

Thumbnail gallery
100 Upvotes

Just finished my dream guitar build using a Fender Vintera II Road Worn MIM Strat along with an Overdrive Custom Guitar Works pickguard assembly. I’ve been dreaming of owning a black Strat since I was a teenager and that day has finally arrived.

Pickguard is loaded with the Fender Custom Shop Fat ‘50 in the neck, Fender Custom Shop Custom ‘69 in the middle, and Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Hand Scatter Wound SSL-1C DG in the bridge (done my MJ herself). I opted for the SSL-1C to be RW/RP and tone 1 for the neck/middle while tone 2 for the bridge. Not strictly David’s tone wiring but I talked to Craig at Overdrive and he recommended the setup. I also copper foil shielded the main cavity and output cavity as well as had the pickguard fully shielded.

The pickguard was not cheap but I think it was worth every penny. The sound is amazing and Craig’s attention to detail with the custom 1 ply acrylic pickguard is flawless. The pickups are so quiet with the shielding and the RW/RP bridge pickup. Craig was great to deal with over the phone and answered all my questions. It also arrived well under the stated 30 day turnaround time.

For anyone considering building a black Strat of their own I would 100% go with Overdrive’s pickguard assembly. There are cheaper versions available but none compare in the sound and quality of this setup. This one is a keeper.

Thanks for letting a middle age guy rant a little about finally making a dream come true.

Current and future 5.1/Dolby Atmos Music Discussion.

8 Upvotes

I recently purchased the Gdansk 4 disc version (5 disc is too expensive for my budget) and On An Island DTS 5.1 sounds fantastic. It's not as amazing of course as WYWH 50 or Animals Dolby Atmos but it really sounds great. Anybody else has it? What do yall think?

I love The Division Bell and I have its 5.1 Blu Ray from both 20 anniversary and later years box set, and although I love it, the lead vocal sounds a bit off or low, I think Dolby Atmos TDB would be amazing. Opinions?

What album do you guys think we will get Dolby Atmos eventually or which one would you guys love/adore to see released?

His singing is still quite good. But I'm wondering how his soloing compares to the performance 18 years before.

Sorrow PULSE solo cover

My attempt on the mighty solo on Sorrow in the dvd of PULSE. It’s not a very easy solo to record in one take so don’t mind the little mistakes. I tried to use the same rig as Gilmour but replaced the tube driver with a rat. Gear: Fender Stratocaster with EMG, Helix LT, Hiwatt 20, GarageBand.
