Been a while since I posted anything so I thought I'd throw this out there.

It's a song from my favorite comedy, The Three Amigo's. It's not the song by Roy Rogers, but rather it was written just for the movie. It's an obvious rip off of Roy's song, down to the scene in the movie this is from.

This is my first recording with my new mic pre-amp. I also treated my room a little with some foam pads and old bed sheets. It dampened it significantly and eliminated a lot of standing wave's and echo.

Hope everyone enjoys, and as always all feedback good and bad is welcome and requested. Can't improve without feedback.

Blue Shadow's On The Trail

Really nice version Bub, sounds sweet! Fine lead vocal and harmony work, and I like the relaxed instrumentation. Guitars are really nice.

Only a couple of nits - one or two vocal lines seemed to fade away at the end i.e. 'on the trail', or was that intentional? Overall the mix sounds quite 'centred', but still clear and precise, so no big deal there.

 
Hey there Bub, this is excellent
 
The mix is as clear as a bell - and thinking of the thread in the CH, the acoustic guitar is recorded perfectly.
 
Great stuff all round.

Amazing, I too learned this tune after the first time I heard it.  I had even thought of recording it, but you've done such an excellent job that I will bow to your cover.

Excellect choice and well done!  Love the vocals.

Daryl

Sounds great all around, Bub!

Hi Bub, nice one, like it.

Greetings, Rik

This is waaay cool Bub.

Love the movie and love your version of this song too!  Nice!  :)

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. It was a lot of fun doing this song and I'm glad you all enjoyed it. I hardly had to touch anything EQ/Compression wise. Goes to show what even a half way decent mic and preamp can do for your mixes. Heck, the bass ... it's dry with the EQ rolled off a little and that's it.

@james ... There are a couple of spots that I backed off the mic and you can hear it. I figured it would add some character. :) And heck, if that's the worst criticism I'm going to get on it, that's awesome!

Treating the walls in my room and the new mic/preamp have changed everything for me. My 'old' mic is literally old. 27 + years. And I never used a pre amp before. I always ran direct in to my Fast Track Ultra.

@daryl ... This song is a bear to figure out how to play isn't it? :) The tab's on the net don't even come remotely close.  It sounds like it should be simple but there are some very intricate chords in it. I couldn't figure out the chords going in to the second vocal break, so I repeated the first one.

Thanks again everyone.

Bub

Bumbadoodle nice, Bub.
