https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M33zt2Ued98This is a cover of the lost Threetle Anthology track Now and Then. I posted this one, way back when...probably 2011 or somewhere around there...but I was never happy, as is my want. There were glaring timing errors, and out of tune vocals for one. So I went back and redid the vocals, using Reaper's Digi-Vari-Speed to do the main vox but not the outro vox...I wanted to keep that au-natural.
My production skills weren't much cop back in 2011, so I've completely gutted the basic backing track, and redid all the lead guitars, I've kept the original bass which was done on an Epiphone Hofner or Beatle bass replica, the drums are Ringo's Beat Kit from Session Drummer 3. Both drums and bass have gone through a Fairchild VST Waves to precise, and I must say the heft I get from Waves Fairchild VST is I think as good as the real thing. I've also added some slide bits here and there, my guitar really isn't designed for slide, otherwise it would all be slide probably.
Oh, probably one of the most important discovery's I've made since 2011 is the passive eq in the mastering chain...this is one of the keys to that 'sound'.
I've also gone back and fixed the traditional music vid I did for the clip, and made it seem like a proper old film.
Anyway enjoy.
