Buc McMaster Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Well we did manage to get everybody assembled at the studio.......we even recorded two tracks. After further review, the call on the field is overturned: the session results are unacceptable.......a complete waste of time and money. We got a pretty good take of Helldorado, but I was honestly not impressed with the dobro on any of the passes we made. Stones of Circumstance was worse. The banjo was so loud it stepped on everything badly, bleeding into every mic in the room........can't do a thing with any of the passes we made on that one. So much for musical masterbation, huh. I remember recording a CD with my last band and how much I disliked the isolation of the studio......everybody's wearing headsets, bass is direct, drummer's in another room.......I did not like the lack of immediacy in what we were doing. We were a "live" band and it felt very odd to be so disconnected. I thought it might be cool to record in the studio live......like sitting in the living room with some friends, just playing. Well it was a good idea, and I'm sure it can be done properly, but this session did not work out to my expectations at all. Not too upset by the failure to get what I wanted from the efforts, just resigned to having learned a lesson. I don't expect I'll try this again..........
BigKahune Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 . Well that video looks great and the sound is good. Great performance and I liked the dobro. . Lookin' forward to the synched audio from Pro tools. .
57classic Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Cool man Looking forward to the Pro Tools version
dchristo Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Buc, I like your session, its sounds really good, but, I think your solo version is hard to beat ( lots of heart in the solo version )
E-minor7 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Promising – The picture and song makes a splendid blend. I think the mood of the tune was caught. Fav-moment between 1:35 and some 12-15 secs forward. You guys should makes a habit out of this -
duluthdan Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Bravo - very nice. Gotta go learn me some cowboy songs !
blindboygrunt Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 sounds great buc ! i thought you woulda had your new guitar with you , or is it just that the hummingbird matched the shirt better ? :-) looking forward to the studio version.
ParlourMan Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Should be sweet when you hear the mixed version Buc. Looks like a great day out.
EuroAussie Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 That was nice Buc, but like others I prefer the orginal just with you and the Gibby ...you cant really hear the Bird in this mix, but it works well as a trio, no doubt.
