"The Forest" new arrangement and final mix 11/12/11
I've been revamping all my tunes, and experimenting with new techniques. I'm most proud of the vocal sound on this track, all done with a Shure SM57 into an old Onkyo tape deck! http://www.ourstage.com/t/KMSRBSHFSFJI?u=45fe49

Man, I don't know what's wrong. It wouldn't play for me, Ron. I'll try later!

Yeah, it hasn't worked on any of my songs on that page since I posted it...I'll bump it once the problem is resolved.

i'm using Opera as a browser and it played just fine for me.
The tune sounds good... nice punch, The vocals have a smooth distortion sound to them that is pleasant. They are not crystal..... but in a good way.. I like the sound of them.
Could it be the tape?
I might have to pull out my old 58 again and have a go with it.
Hey some nice guitar chops there....
Very nice job.

Thanks...I signed up for soundcloud anyway too! The guitar was my scratch track. I made up a foam gobo, and was doing my writing late into the evening while the kids were in bed. I had my little Champ on 2, playing my Tele into a MXR M80 bass DI. I cranked up the low-end to get a little more bass, and used the mxr's distortion. I ahd a 57 on the grille, and an AT4050 wrapped in foam inside the amp...total comb filtering and phase issues. I was going to re record the guitar until I solo'd the 57 and it sounded good enough. It's just the one guitar track with no doubling...little bit of delay to biggen it up. http://soundcloud.com/ron-vogel/the-forest

Wonderful – original, rough and raw with elements of Buffalo Springfield , Gang of Four, and CSN (I know I am dating myself and you probably have no idea who these people are). Love the way the guitar drives this entire tune – it takes command and everything else gets in line. The hammering (guitar) around 2:44 is nice – effective without being over powering. Vocals are quite good. It’s all good. Terrific job on a super rock tune.

Great job working out the electric and acoustic parts. Guitar tones are realy good. The throaty wah tone is a nice choice. The vox gave me an early Styx vibe for some reason. Very cool tune.

That's an interesting one. Reaching back there. Classic rock with a little funk tinge here and there. I like the wah part as well. I've a wah for so long but NEVER manage to get it into a song. Good overall song dynamics as well.

I just have a standard GCB-95 cry-baby, there is a ton of mods out there that can be done to it. I did a vocal mod (which narrows the q-band and focuses the mids a bit more...plus an output mod that juices up the output. I end up using it a lot for distortion. I can drive the pre-amp of the amp a lot harder with it. All I have to do is guitar-wah-amp, I put the thing in a fixed position for heavier parts quite a bit.

Yeh, that last bit is something that Mic Ronson used to do so much in Spiders from Mars. Just get the wah in a position that drives the amp in a particular was and emphasizes a particular range to cut through for that song and leave it there. You can create a very heavy, grinding tone that way as long as the position is conducive to the chords you are playing.

Ha! your in luck then....I have been working on music solid for a few months and have several more almost done! Funny how the first drafts seemed so awesome, then it takes months to clean them up

Yay! :)
Yeah, I think from now on I'll try to wait a month before I post anything, cause they never seem so wonderful a few weeks later. Well, at least that's a goal (to wait)...I imagine I won't be able to wait that long. lol
