Satch inspired wank

[petedz]

This is one take, totally improvised, and my first attempt at digital recording. If I had spent the time, I would have written coherent melodies and occasionally stopped for a breath, but this is just noodling.

I have no excuse, for the crappy playing--it's what I do. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

edit: fixed the levels

Sounded good to me. Kind of soothing [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] . What kind of gear were you using?

Re: Satch inspired wank

the tone is very good and the playing is too...

The mix could be redone to bring the lead guitar to the front... curently it is buried behind everything... that is probably the only thing I would do to the whole thing... i.e. crank up the lead track by +6 dB!...

Ah, and, like I always say.. there is not much we can tell you to improve if you dont say exaclty what was the signal chain...

Very impressive in general...

Re: Satch inspired wank

Geez--what was I thinking. I finally played this thing back in an mp3 player, and the levels were so low I almost couldn't hear it. [img]graemlins/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] I'ts fixed now.

Thanks for the kind words. 350, I've been spending too much time putting my kids to bed. Everything comes out a lullaby. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I'll make sure my next submission is headbanger tested and approved.

Gear used: Charvel pre-pro -&gt; POD 2.0 Soldano model completely dry -&gt; sound card -&gt; Sonar with a bunch of soft-synths for the rest of the instruments. I'm pretty happy with the sound considering it's a first try.

E.P. soothing wasn't a bad thing at all. I liked it!

Re: Satch inspired wank

I think you play very well and your phrasing is excellent as well. With the guitar pushed in front as Rodrigo suggested this would be a even better gem. Great work man and not bad for a first home Digital recording.

In the beginning I thought was hearing some Satch Meets Santana type stuff. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Sounds great!!! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Satch inspired wank

that was really cool. I was waiting for Leonard Cohen to start singing the whole time. (that's a good thing)

Re: Satch inspired wank

Thanks again for all the positive comments! I never expected that. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Since so many people told me to push the guitar out front, I tried some post processing to do that. It should have been as simple as moving a slider, but my inexperience with the software bit me in the ass. Somehow, I managed to print the backing instruments onto the same track as the guitar when I recorded [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] ...so the only way was to clone the track and boost the mids on the clone. I also applied some light reverb to the whole thing so it sounds a bit more like everything is in the same room. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

If anyone still cares, let me know if it's an improvement.
