This was my first time to use this unit, It's pretty good..
In particular the Latency Free monitor that has the effects included in the signal..I had to copy a steel part on a 'cover' version of How's the World Treating You - Alison Krauss, James Taylor
there is also a link to an mp3 where the rhythm section is on one channel and the steel is on the other just so you can hear the steel in isolation.. It was NOT an easy piece to play, the double octave harmonics at the end of verse two were NOT easy.. Especially the high E - D gliss. They're all played at the 5th fret except the E-D which is chimed at the 15th and fretted at the 10th.
The unison 2nd and 4th strings on the second third and fourth notes of the bridge were kind of awkward as well.
This is a VERY rough mix with only part of the backing. click here
Split Track
The track is far from finished and the voices are only "Guide Vox" Later today I'm going to try it with a good mike (Beyer MC-740) on a Martin D-41 and Taylor 814CE-6L and also a resonator. I'll post my findings.

Just thought I'd 'Kick it Up'
Maybe I should have kicked it out !!

Thats really cool Basilh. I was just thinking about trying one of these to improve my home recording studio. Did you ever get around to trying it with the mics? i'd love to hear it on a resonator[This message was edited by Ben Jones on 04 May 2006 at 08:36 AM.] |

Super tasty all the way around. Nice work. Great song. I used to play and sing that one years ago in a moose lodge band. (you guys do it much better) |
