thanks for listening...
i guess there is a LOT of guitar stuff going on in this one, to peak the interest of a 'guitar player'.
heheheh
thanks john

thanks for listening!

well, a real drummer performed the sounds that were turned into samples...
and a real kit was played in a real studio...

but i programmed in what the samples would do..

via Toontracks Superior Drummer.

i tweak the midi data quite a bit.
there's not much that is 'stock', but the sounds are fun to work with.

i usually de-tune the samples just a touch, all the way across the kit...

munmun-

here's the toontrack superior drummer link, if you're interested:

by the way, i still use mics for guitar tones almost all the time...

it just so happens, that on this particular song, i used ONLY the Palmer PDI-09 for all of the electrics.



i wanted a super dry, in your face tone...
and any room effects, were added in the mix.


other songs on the album feature either all mics, or combinations of the palmer and mic/room mic, which is my favorite way to use it:
palmer for main signal, room mic/distance mic on the amp.



that's one of the reasons i posted this particular one, to let anyone who is interested in hearing one of these devices used in an actual recording, check out what it can sound like.

happy turkey day!!

.....headin' to vegas......
could be a song in the makin'

Great playing, singing and mix!  :) 

Was this on the first CD?  I have this somewhere I think.  Yeah, you always amaze me.  Batsblues and Twilight Rain have made it to the mountain mp3.  I'm likin' this one. 

Great! Everything. All your songs are always top of the line.

Bat, you rock!! I love this stuff/style and you're one talented guy!! I ended up listening to all your songs.

Excellent everything....really....excellent.

Awesome Bat. Loved it.
