Hi,
I've got a new song out. It's called "A Miracle" - you can check it
out here:
https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13621549

I've had to wait a little while, as I was using a beta copy of Superior 3 an dhad to wait until it
was announced ;-)

You won't hear anything drastic - but it is using the Pearl kit from S3
Otherwise - the usual suspects.

Trilian Bass
Some Kontakt instruments
the Strat and Tele
Uhe Diva

I also started using some new compressors, and mixed in to a little buss compression on th edrum
buss and main buss.

All comments welcome ;-)

Don't forget - CDs (including my newest one "Pull the Other One")
are also available at https://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/JohnBraner
and all the normal streaming services.

sounds great!

That's exactly what I do. The UI is revamped, and the new kits are over 200GB (!), so it's worth it
just for the new kits ;-)

Oh well, I guess you're not getting Superior 3 then ;-)

I figure bigger kits mean more articulations, round robins etc. Of course there are also way more
room and "surround" (really just more room mics spread around) mics too...

Here's the best deal so far

Maybe Black Friday will be better ;-)

If you would trade/buy a new vehicle every 3 years, you have to spend
munny on batteries! ;)




Not something I do ....

The prior car we had was driven by SWMBO for 13 years. We kept it until
the needed repairs were higher cost than the value of the car.

We've had the current car for 4+ years. I put a ton down and financed
the rest at 0%. I got a pretty decent return on their munny during that
time ;)

My truck, was well used when I bought it. It's an '05 I bought in '09.
I still drive it when I need a truck. It needs ball joints pretty bad.
I'll prolly pony up a grand or so to get them replaced instead of going
in hock for a $50-60K truck. I don't see the point.

OTOH, I would LOVE to have a Yukon Denali XL. I rented one and drove it
in terrible winter weather this Jan past. I'm not willing to give up
$65-70K for the pleasure though.

I try to balance the whole vehicle cost thing. It's nice to have
something nice and reliable to drive, but I have limits :)
