10/4/02 - Update.. betcha it's Bobby... Okay, to say I've been on a little Dylan kick lately would be bucking for Understatement Of The Year. Very much digging Bobby lately. Did this tonight. I've got a few more Dylan tunes I want to knock out, maybe I'll get to them this month. Technical - Guitar recorded with the Audio Technica Pro 7a in the soundhole. Direct into the VS880 (I was getting a really nasty hum thru the dbx 286a... piece of shit). Vocals on the AT C1000s - this is a great vocal mic. Run thru at ART Tube Pre and the RNC compressor. Minimal effects on the VS880. Dumped to PC thru the SPDIF link and then did a little EQ and verb in SoundForge. Whole think took less than 2 hours. Let me know what you think: losguys@attbi.com |

4/15/02 - Holy Crap! Another Update! Make that a DOUBLE! Jump back people! Two new recordings! What the hell is going on here? Again, after some prodding from annoying friends, here are two nuggets - not originals, but good songs..
Notes - Pancho and Lefty is done on one microphone - an Audio-Technica Pro 45 hanging mic... I actually got this mic by mistake, but it worked nicely. It's one of those mini-mics you hang to record a choir or something. I just used it to record me playing and singing simultaneously. Tangled up in Blue is two mic - the Pro45 and the Audio-Technica Pro7A lavalier. Used the 45 for vocals, and the 7A has a special fixture to clip it to your soundhole, so it's getting the guitar. This is pretty sweet... it may be an alternative to those in-soundhole pickups they sell for acoustic guitars.. I have yet to hear one of those I really like. This could do the job nicely, and make it so I can play my smelly guitar in public some time. We'll see. I dig Pancho and Lefty. I think it came out nicely.

3/9/02 Again, it's been far too long between updates, but here's something - Quinn, you asked for this. It needs a lead guitar. Harold? Can you gimmie a quick track? Thanks man. This is how we used to do it, with the 3 double long measures of intro... Goes from 80 bpm to 100. This is my first real MIDI bass and drums... I think it sounds okay. *note - the "rock" eq setting on WINAMP makes this sound pretty good. Let me know what you think: losguys@attbi.com |

11/5/00 ***The latest - I just picked up an ART Tube MP, using it with the RNC compressor. I like it. Here's a new song, "Smelly Guitar". It's amusing. The bass work is.. well.. I'm not a bass player, and I'm too lazy to go back and fix it. So there. Let me know what you think: losguys@attbi.com

| Here's a version of "Mr.
Soul" I did in the living room. 1.8megs, about 2:40 in
length. Neil makes for a great sound check.
Live take- Acoustic Git (mic and line), Vocals Overdub with electric (first take-it ain't special, but it's kinda sweet) |
 |
| Here's a version of "My
Back Pages". 4 minutes or so, under 2 megs. More
living room stuff, my first keyboard/midi stuff (it's rEEEEEl subtle.. but
it's in there). I'm slowly learning my VS880. Sloooowly.
Live take- Acoustic Git (mic and line), Vocals Overdub with bass and keyboard. Encoded MP3 at 64kb.. seems to work well. |
| As I add stuff of my own, I'll post it here.. see any resemblance? |  |
More (lots and lots and lots more) is coming. But that's all for now.
