recording a pile of steaming **** ( gear )

this weekend I slapped a drum loop into garageband & tried to record something...I did it to record the Melodybird Firebird replica & a couple amps, but the track ended up sounding mellow & jazzy so I tried the H575 out

 

warning:I can't play jazz....and the backing track is basic, kind of redundant, and repetitive. so you'll have to suffer thru some generic bluesy wanking :D

 

gear used:

 

'71 MKI Fender Rhodes keyboard

old Leslie rotating speaker cab

clean guitar: Heritage H575 loaded with bareknuckle P90's-->vintage Garnet tube amp

G&L SB-1 bass

"Dead Horse" Traynor YBA-1 8x10 bass amp

rhythm gtr: OD Melodybird Firebird replica-->SF super reverb

fuzzy middle section: OD Melodybird Firebird replica loaded with SD '59's-->Viva Analog Rangemistress-->CM delayla-->Vox AC4TV

 

that's an impressive list of crap, but don't get your hopes up :D

 

 

close mic was a CAD E-100, I also had a Rode NT4 room mic but garageband kept summing the stereo track to mono for some dumb reason. AKG D114 on the bass amp.

 

-->this is my first attempt to play/record on the fender rhodes I scored recently...I can't play keyboard at all....on the right & left channels I had it going thru the rotating leslie to try & add some space

 

I like the sound of the P90's in the H575 though

Nice groove :) I like the drum loop, did you create that in GarageBand or import it from elsewhere?

Posted

you know what I have no idea where I got that loop...don't have any extra libraries for garageband

 

extra points for anyone who can pick out the other licks I ripped off :D

 

yep that's the gtr I had at PSPVI...it's awesome!!

How did you manage to get your fingers to turn translucent?

Were they moving faster than the speed of light? Impressive.
