Hey thanks Soundsurfr...that AM thing really was put together at 2:00 A.M. that morning 'cause I couldn't sleep!

I really got into your Az Wam Talkinbowt...very kewl track. Especially liked your treatment on the "brass" track.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Aussie169 had a listen to the "live" piece. I have to confess first listen was like what the....
but third listen I'm loving those horns and the wah guitar!
Did you say it was a live take??
Is it improv or set piece?
What did you use to capture the horns, what processing if any did you use on them?

Sorry about so many questions? If you don't ask you'll never know.

Cheers

Sounds good, Greg... nice and lazy feel. Feels good to just do something different now and then, doesn't it? Good job... [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

ROY,

Just downloaded Moonebeam Seduction. Cool tune. What kind of effect is that on the guitar? It almost sound like a wah pedal and talkbox mixed or something. I'm new to recording and like music similar to yours. What kind of recoding gear are you using? Oh yeah, was it you that played Sleepy Moon also? That ended up on my MP3 player and I listen to it in the car a lot. Cool guitar tunes.

I'm rally digging this tune.
rawk.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">TrippSTRAT,
The sound I'm sure you mean is a Digitech RP2000 Guitar processor with a light flange/phase on it, and I'm using it with Digi001/5.3. 'Sleepy Moon' was the first thing I posted here. Thanks very much for the compliments. I really appreciate it.

Yep, that track, and the rest that go with it took a while to grow on me too.
They are by an outfit called "Barron Von Zipper" from Melbourne. The main 'dude' is a mate of mine, calls himself "Pugsley Buzzard Wateringcan". He actually hails from Perth originally (studied piano at uni there. Is there a Perth Con? If so, that's where he was). Anyway, I'd been promising him a day in the studio, so he brought him band in (3 piece) and away they went. There material is very 'Zappa' as you can hear. The general structure and direction of their tracks is rehearsed, but inside that it is pretty much improvised.
Anyway, they recorded about 8 songs in a live situation, did a couple of over-dubs (not much though), and then a couple of weeks later, Pugsley posted me some horn charts. I got a couple of mates in and we put the horns over the top.

Horns were recorded thus...
Alto & Tennor Sax - MXL V67M - Mindprint Di-Port - Digi001
Trumpet & Trombone - Beyer Opus83 - Mindprint Di-Port - DIGI001

Apart from a touch on Waves RenVerb, there's no processing on them at all. Being a freebie session, I wasn't prepared to get too fussy.

The guitar is an old knocked-around Fender Strat through a Musicman combo amp. He also had a bag full of the most amazing array of FX pedals I've ever seen in one place! He set up a new selection every track, so I couldn't keep up with what he had.


Glad you enjoyed the track. As you can imagine, they were fun to record.

That sounds like it would've been a blast, Mark. I produced a New Orleans jazz thing once, with trombone, trumpet, and clarinet all playing at once, totally ad lib, and it was great. I believe the engineer just put up two mikes in the room. One rehearsal, one take, and that was it. It was a pleasure how well it went.
