i guess to anyone knocking back some of ole uncle cooter's moonshine, it could be construed as an 'extravaganza', heheh.

guitars used:

Epic! I like how you've got the acoustic up front with the electrics weaving around in support. Lovely acoustic tone too, care to share the signal path for that? Good arrangement, the percussion pops up just at the right times - when the party's getting started Very nice work Bats.

THANKS JAMES.....
 
i worked that arrangement.
had about 3 other versions before this one..
i posted those in the songs forum some time back..
 
 
4 rhythm acoustic tracks, 2 are the Taylor 414, 2 are the Seagull Artist.
 
acoustics are dirt simple to record.
 
shure KSM44, pointed somewhere towards the 12th fret,
i'm probably 24" away.
mic into A Designs Audio MP-1 tube mic pre...hit the VU about 0db...
out of that and into a DBX MC-6 compressor, set on the classic dbx 160 mode...
unity gain and out, and into the soundcard.
 
once in, it gets the low end rolled off, sweeten the top end,
maybe a tuck at 350hz and around 2khz,
then ITB i run all acoustics to a Acoustic Guitar buss, and that gets a Waves C1 across it.
 
 

Hey batsbrew,
 
I like the track, it's dynamic. I like the interactions going on between the vocal harmonies and the electric guitar fills. The percussion halfway through was a nice touch. Did you play that? Awesome job.

Well done! I think this has a real eagles feel to it as some of your other material does...and the Eagles were a fantastic band. Kudos!

thanks for listening, amine!
 
please spread the word about the new album....
 
yes, i play everything on the recording.
 
i WISHED i had a good percussionist handy, but you know how these things are...
 
maybe i'll search out collaborators on my next efforts,
i do quite a few of them,
and they are always fun and learning experiences.

thank you starise!
you know, i supposed i DID listen to a lot of eagles music growing up....
but as i did this, i was probably channeling zep and CSNY more so.....
but i listen to the eagles pretty regularly as it is, so who knows?!

Great to listen to. Great performances. Mix sounded good.
