Thanks hafi19 !

Thanks Monkey_Man I've always had a fondness for playing with delays.

Not so successful tonight but that's the beauty of a noodle a day, there's always tomorrow.

Cool track, it’s your own thing which I think is cooler than being someone else. Sounds huge again too!

Thank-you deadman42 and deangersmith ! Ah the cathedral organ, wonderful sound I sometimes use it to layer on extra sub bass under real bass when I want things to sound extra meaty. I personally like the bass note at 2:10 which was a finger slip and unintentional but I left it in because it throws in that full chord that suddenly sounds sour like element.

Thanks hafi19 !

Here you go. You can do it! Now you know two ELP songs.

Sounds like a Zombies track. I’m gratified in your faith however I’m pretty sure I can’t do that, they can sing and play guitar a lot better than me.

... and the definition, articulation, intelligibility and instrument-focus are all hands-down in a different league from anything you've posted previously IMHO, brother. "Sounds like a record" now.

There can be no greater vindication for what I've been saying all along. I sincerely hope that the experiment was instructive for you brother, and thank you for "humouring" me.

I always do learn something brother monkey_man! I’m not sure what I’ll take from this, probably that it’s more a case of appropriate approaches for the material. The arrangement is sparse and I can’t help feel that’s what really gives it articulation, clarity and focus. The lack of processing works for and against it, if I was a better musician with a better space it might sound like a record, but to me right now it sounds like a rough demo.

Thanks BayouTexan . I saved up and bought the Martin in the end, so that's an instrument worth roughly 100x the microphones it's recorded with :D. Just goes to show, if you throw money and zero talent at a problem is just sort of goes away...

ELP.... Emerson, Lake, Palmer? I think the only track of theirs I know is Lucky Man.

Thanks BayouTexan !

In deference to Monkey_Man this one has zero processing (beyond a single reverb on master bus, and the Helios Type 69 pre-amp emulation on the inputs of the Apollo for the mics). So no compression, maximizer, limiter, tape, autotune, EQ or anything else. The vocal mic is a very nice Vanguard V13 gen2, not that it can help me, the acoustic mics don't do badly considering the pair cost me $40 (Tascam stick mics).

Thank you for sharing!

Thanks deadman42 ! Oh I’m sure it’s many things. I’m quite happy with the Bobby Gentry/Nick Drake style strings arrangement at the end. A lot of bands in the 90s did that fade out to acoustic instruments thing. I tried to get some Who like energy in there too on the cleanish crunchy chords, and there’s a few nods to the stylings of Bodast in there too in the solo parts.

Sounds great man! Really heavy and tight grind.

Too-squashed. Terrible. Can't listen to it.

God *d(@z it!!

Thanks for checking it out Monkey_Man , I’d throw out and redo a bunch of the very basic lyrics if I had to revisit it, but I don’t want to be spending too long on these noodles each day.

And so we go on another one. As usual nothing is where I wanted it to be and really nothing like the influences but at least it got done. I did indulge myself with a maximizer on the master bus this time. Compressors on the vocals and bass, you will have to forgive me Monkey_Man

Bass I tried to copy Entwistle's approach of low gain amp lo passed and high gain amp high passed, but I had to play it twice as re-amping is a PITA and the Kemper doesn't offer dual amps (I wanted amp gain sounds not stomp sounds).

Never heard of him

Thanks deadman42 ! Who’s Will?
