A 3 dog night cover I've been working on for 6 weeks! It's been a pig.

I don't use loops, I know everybody does and says I'm crazy, they're mostly right. So I'm playing the drums. I didn't use a tick track or tempo map, so "it floats" a little, but I think that gives it a bit of a live feel? I'll be checking out some other folks stuff this evening after work. I hope this little diddy helps kick off your weekend!

I'm also playing my Latin Percussion Congas (mic'ed) a shaker, and a tamborie. 

The Taylor 754 12 string, My warwick fretless (it's a challenging bass line...) ahh, there's some electric guitar in there, NI's B4 on the hammond. Lots of vocal tracks. They're not edited, so there are some imperfections, but it gives it character :-) I hope you enjoy it, it's an old favorite of mine.

At the top, Shambala.

Very good Robby... only 2 3 suggestions, after the one two listens...

The falsetto 3'rd on on the "How does yer light shine", is too weak and wimpy, go ahead and belt it out... even strained it will sound better... the rest of the harmony is great...

Crank up the drums! mo' pfhat...
 
Fatten' up the elec. lead guitar...

I'm only at a laptop but it sounds well balance trough the $1 speakers. 
Good job, I'm glad I'm not the only other stuborn  fool around here who would also play my own drums a little out of time than use a loop. 

I always thought this song was written by BW Stevenson but I just check on Wikipedia and he had only pre released it a bit before the Dawgs. I had that album of his just for that song. 

 Really great song to cover, performances sound spot on to me. Only nit is the snare gets lost on a few hits. A really cool sounding snare. Really enjoyed it and haven't heard the original in years.

nice sounding guitars..... I remember this tune... from back in the day...

you're doing some cool covers here recently and the vocal work is good.... nice harmony stuff going on...

Ok, based on the feedback (Thanks Frank and Grant)

I boosted the drums, you can hear them now... Please let me know if it's too much. 

And I kicked that snare up a bit, did quite a bit to it actually? Again, pls let me know if I "enjoyed the pooch..." 

Also, Frank, I did another vocal track on the "How does your light shine" part? I sang it high and in full voice. I'm now coughing up blood, thank you. But then again, I had some blood for dinner and some went down the wrong hatch, so that may explain it.

ahhhh, I did a lot more stuff on the mains, changed the compression, lost Izotope limitter and replaced it w/FabFilter, a few other things that sounded good to me. But we all know that me at the console is like Princess Diana's driver behind the wheel...


Doggie style :-) LOL! I hope someone appreciates my work on that fretless... It's taken a long time to learn to play that damn thing.

You're right....that bass line is COOL!  I wanna play that way some day.  I should practice more...

At 1:33 and 2:19 I'm hearing the vocal harmony a bit more than the melody.  Or maybe I always thought the high part was the lead.  Oh well... you're the master at this.  
All in all, really sweet.  Nice pickin' for sure.  

Man, that bass is cool!  :)  

Oh, and the cool thing?  When I logged into RN, it said that my band is now ranked 3rd.....













...in Roach, MO!  LOL  

You gettcha a nice fretless bass and learn to play it? And you'll be #1 "with a bullet!" ;-)

I think I have enough instruments to practice for now, thanks.  :)
