Re: ANOTHER DAY

Russ how many instruments do you play? Is that you on a steel slide? Great tune..Im curious about singing harmony with yourself..I can attest to the number of retakes that I do in recording, let alone trying harmonizing... I could never afford real studio time..Well done and keep those tunes rolling..marcalan

I thought ; If I had one idea,
and took it from beginning to end.
I would try another.

Re: ANOTHER DAY

Marc I play 7 differen't instruments,im not sure what song your refering to as far as a steel slide but yes I play steel slide the song "Another new day" I used accustic. manual drum pads.electric guitar with the boss br8 effects for making a guitar a bass. and a lead track with a little bit of reverb.delay and chorus the vocals were double tracks so all in all I recorded 8 tracks with two differen't mixes the one i first uploaded was just mixed with the br8 the other with audacity one track at a time as far as singing harmony its something I have been doing since i was 5 with my sisters and mother and its sort of natural and thanks for the nice words I appreciate that and I will keep them tunes rolling i have 3 more to record what a great life music is smile

Re: ANOTHER DAY

Thanks kap I do appreciate that, this song took a lot more time to put together. I had a basic chord progression and no words then I remembered a video I made of myself playing a rough version of the chord changes when I was sitting at the lake kinda busking ( I made 8 dollars) enough for ice cream and a store bought pizza, and i wrote the changes down from the video and the 1st verse and after that I had a easier time arranging the rest of the song but the mixing took the longest it usually will being the last step sometime I'm gonna plunk down the bucks for some studio time and let somebody else who gets paid to do it take the reins then all I will have to do is play and sing,I have a friend who owns traxx studios in mequon wisconsin we were in the same band quite a while ago and remained friends for the last 30 yrs he offered me a really special rate something like $35.00 an hour and.........I think I will take him up on his offer his equipment is the best in the industry and his studio is the only grammy winning studio in wisconsin and is located only 10 miles from me ive done some commercials for him so he owes me a few favors and working with top notch session musicians,well it dont get any better then that smile

Re: ANOTHER DAY

Roger thank you for your comment and it was cool chatting with you on gmail the other day I get to speak with a lotta people that way and its funny caus there voices sound different then your mental picture of what you think they sound and I kinda put my hat on the bench and primed it with a few bucks and some loose change so they could take pity on a begger lol
