Thank you

If you mean the pedal 2nd from left, it’s the Fairfield Shallow Waters.

Thanks!

Thanks Alexander.

Me too!!! He’s the loveliest.

Thank you. I appreciate it. I tend to tune it to open sounding harmonies. Avoiding thirds. For example the first note will be a low root, then an octave above. Then a fifth, a ninth maybe. A flat 6. Possibly a flat 7 too. Basically a descending melodic minor without the 3rd. Sometimes!

@@Christopher.white_ thank you so much for the explanation! Will definitely try that tuning.

Ha! Thank you. Yes plate spinning is right!

Great! Such a good idea. Thank you I will.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks Karl. Hope you’re enjoying yours?

Thank you so much!

Thank you! Such a great tune to play.

Thanks Jerry. For live, it would be the Digitakt over the Drumbrute. Although either would work I think. In fact, the simplicity of the Drumbrute would be really nice. However, I am persevering with adding the MPC into my live set, as i would like to use it almost like a summing mixer as well as a percussive instrument. I feel very creative though with the Digitakt, and I guess that's an important factor. the new OS3 for the MPC will be interesting as i believe it will simplify things a lot.

@@Christopher.white_ Thank you! I really appreciate the insight and am learning a lot from your channel.

Happy to have inspired. thank you.

thank you Werner

Many thanks!

Thanks Alexander. Hope it’s useful.

Thanks Werner! Appreciate it.

Thank you Charlie.

Hey Jerry, thank you. Yes the MF is great and I know the prices have shot up so much. Luckily I got mine before the ceased production so it was affordable then. I haven’t really seen an alternative. Always looking though.

Thank you for making such great plugins!

Cool! Let me know how you get on.

Thanks G. It is for me too in a way.

It's my TC electronic Clarity probably. For a few of the films I filmed it and superimposed it on the main vid.

Hey thanks! Will check out your mandolin material!

Hey Andi, of course. It fluctuates depending on what's going on. There have been times when income comes solely from composition work, and there are times when it's session/performance. I try to make sure i don't lose sight of either strand of income and that's the tricky part. It's always impossible to know what's around the corner so trying to not burn bridges! bottom line is that yes my income comes from everything combined i guess. I'm not a businessman either and there are DEFINITELY composers in the UK who are - maybe more so than being musically skilled. They make up a good proportion of the busy composers I would say. So take from that what you will...

@@Christopher.white_ thank you Chris. I really appreciate your time and you saying this. I am in all honesty really pleased you do make an income from it. It would be a travesty if you didn’t, with the talent you have and portfolio to go with it too. I know we keep going and as long as there is food on the table and a roof over our heads then life is good. We can make ourselves ill and it’s finding that balance because it can be tricky. I am somewhat relieved you aren’t a businessman. I can only just about organise a cup of coffee myself 😂 . Thank you again Chris. I really appreciate your honesty and what you’ve said. Thank you. Much support to you from sunny Sheffield (that’s a lie 😃)

Thank you

Thanks so much Alexander. I really appreciate that!

Hey Werner! thanks very much. Yes we were there :)

@@Christopher.white_ I saw it on the Van Morrison fan site, great. I am looking forward to the "Live in Orangefield" and the album in September with your arrangements. Best wishes, Werner.

Thank you. I’m extremely happy with that description!
