- Here's a cover of Shake Hands With Beef, the lead single on Primus' 1997 record Brown Album! Shake Hands With Beef is one of those tunes that is more or less an entire song made out of one riff, something Tom Petty is particularly known for. The song features a loosely improvised drum part that is loaded with idiosyncratic character from Bryan "Brain" Mantia that is nearly uncopyable, rock solid guitar playing featuring an unhinged manic guitar solo from Larry LaLonde, and the bass riff (which is why I learned the song) from Les Claypool that is the foundation on which the whole song is built.
The bass features a thumb-hammer on-thumb-pluck combo, which is precisely the technique I was looking to learn. Definitely the kind of technique that takes a little work to build up to tempo, but once you get it down, fun as hell to play! For the drums, the performance on the record is so unique to Mantia's playing (the numerous drum fills are dripping with character and feel ), that rather than learn each fill note for note, I tried to sub in what it would sound like if I were pulling out my own fills on the fly while tracking. I might have overplayed as a result! ;-) The guitar on the other hand, which features a solo that is similarly unique and dripping with character, I did decide to try and learn note for note, even though LaLonde probably improvs this solo each time he plays it! Super fun to try and get in his playing, which features a jazz-like approach to his rhythmic figures, but melodically much more atonal. Real cool stuff!

❤❤❤love this tune.
Cheers! I figured out where the early mix was bugging me, the compressors on the master bus were hitting a bit too hard, but I left them set as they were and lowered the individual instrument levels to balance out
great song choice, great cover
Thanks, I definitely enjoyed putting this one together and mixing it!
Ow hell yea I love this one
Underrated tune from an impressive catalog! That bass riff is crazy fun to play!
Long time no see. It's been quite a hot minute since we've last commented to each other.
4 years ago. I've used Mixcraft 9 Pro Studio. Then purchased Mixcraft 10 Pro Studio. THEN, Upgraded to the free Mixcraft 10.5 Pro Studio update.
I've gotten used to Mixcraft over time. From 2020 to 2024, And now. 4 years has passed. I've now made my decision that it was time to pass the torch & move to a new DAW.
That being Cubase 13. My gameplan is that i'll try out the free 60 day (2 month) trial of Cubase 13 Pro. So that i'll get use to the workflow, Then i'll purchase the Elements version to start off.
Then later down the pipeline. I'll upgrade to either the Artist version or the Pro version, Since the Artist edition has unlimited tracks & some other goodies that the Elements version lacks.
It was a hard fought decision & also wanted to use a 2nd DAW alongside Mixcraft 10.5 Pro Studio. First, I was originally going chose these other Digital Audio Workstations: Reaper, Studio One, Cakewalk, Waveform 13 Free & SoundBridge.
Those were great choices. But felt Cubase was the way to go. So from now on, Cubase 13 will be my main primary DAW.
Sounds great! One of my friend's who got into mixing the past few years has been going back and forth between Cubase and Logic. He had also tried Studio One and Reaper and felt neither really clicked well with him. I'm still running Reaper, for the workflow I tend to follow mixing, I don't have any complaints. The only other DAW I worked with was ProTools which I felt had too high of a learning curve on learning engineering and mixing at the same time. At the end of the day, whichever DAW does what you need it to do without it getting in the way is the right DAW!
@@thesosomusician Dang right. I'm really looking forward to try out Cubase 13. The workflow is superb & the stock effects & instruments like Iconica Sketch. Halion Sonic 7 & Groove Agent SE 5 are amazing.
