All These Things

This is a remake of an older song.... maybe 10 to 12 years ago when I wrote this. I decided to update it a bit. 

It is Christian Country music.... I'm playing the bass and acoustic guitars (4 tracks) and singing (5 tracks) the rest is... you guessed it ...samples.

The final mix on this was done in headphones..... (I have my reasons) 

Any way... hope you enjoy it.

Thanks Robbie..... yes you are right..... I had actually recorded these songs.... about 12 of them , to a CD and played a few churches back around that same time.

I used Cakewalk Pro 8 Deluxe on the original recordings  .... no soft synths in the originals.... BUT... this is recorded with X1e 

 I was looking through my lyric book and came across these tunes..... there is about 4 of them that I felt might be worth redoing..... Fall Down is one of them.  This was also one of them. 

Feel free to record your version of Fall Down. I did remove them all from the net.... do you need a version of it? I can throw a quick version together and email it.

Nice tune Herb.  Great lyrics and very well done. 

I am in Vegas, getting up early in the morning to start putting in a trade show.  I saw this and thought I would give it a quick listen before I hit the sack.  Glad I did.

Hi Herb, do you have another link please, as I can't listen to the one on box.

 Also went to your soundclick page but this tack is not there?

Great song. Great sound and great vocals and nicely mixed.

You say you used samples. I'm guessing pedal steel, fiddle and drums.

I've been looking for samples in the country genre. Can you tell us which package you are using. Thanks for a great song

Guitarhacker.... You are refering to Band in a Box. I have it, but have never had much success with the loops. 

I assume that you first insert the chords that you want, and then select your instrument to play those chords, and then edit till you get the phrase you want.

I would appreciate if you could you explain your process in a little more detail.

Cheers 
 

Come to the dark side.......

the steel guitar and fiddles are samples? wow. extremely realistic. well done!

yes, from the PGmusic Real Band tracks.  Someone once commented that he could "hear the rosin on the bow" of the fiddle. 

Thanks Scotty.... I thought the same thing about guitar samples for acoustic..... my early attempts to record a nice acoustic were disastrous.... the samples sounded OK but they were way too easy to spot from a mile away...... A better mic, a new Taylor, and new strings goes a long way toward capturing decent acoustic. 

Herb,
 
Great song and production.   I like how you integrate BIAB into your songs.   I have used it a few times and know that it isn't as easy as just plugging in chords and generating parts, you have to know what you are doing.  You definitely know what you're doing.   Nice work.  Sounds amazing and great message......
 
Regards

This has a very classic sound, early 60s country.  Good lyrics.  This fits your voice well.

Nice mix with the samples, well chosen.

Daryl

Thanks for the link Herb. Really enjoyable piece this. Very nice indeed.

wow... I thought this one was gone off the page,,,,


Thanks for the listen guys.... 

I pulled this one out of the dust bin of history.... I may do this with another one or two from that time period. 

Herb, you are just so dang good - wow - this is fantastic.

 Nice tune Herb. This would have gotten a standing ovation and brought a few tears to the faces of some in the old church I was raised in. Never has been exactly my cup of tea but I do appreciate it for what it is and your abilities in doing it both at the mixing end and in the guitar pickin'.
