https://soundcloud.com/geoffhodsman/the-dying-seasonAnother one, and again, it's based off of Todge's drumjams. Fleshed out into an instrumental song. Because that's where me heart be, as of late.
I am not feeling well about the bass. Unsure if it's a tuning issue or just, I need to scoop the 1K-ish emphasis that comes with pick playing out way more. A tuning issue is likely, as they plague me. Like I had to redo a lot of the rhythm guitars to get the acoustic and electric in tune with each other... tuning the guitars to fretted notes instead of open ones... Piss.
Uhh tech details...
Acoustic is my Yamaha student level model recorded with Audio Technica AT2020...
Electrics are a mix of my collection, all through my Laney.
First crunch is my recent strat creation with the JB bridge into the Laney with a little colour from to EP Boost.
Heavy guitar is my seven string (SD Distortion pickup) with some help from my Maxon OD9.
Tappy slidey stereo polymeter guitar and leads at the end are my Warmoth (also SD Distortion) again with the OD9.
Ambient section is all my telecaster, though the reverbed stuff is actually a Tech21 practice amp with the spring reverb maxed going direct.
All micing was SM57 and Audio Technica 2050.
Bass is again my five string creation. I've determined that this weird swelling of sustained notes is a strange behaviour that is coming specifically from this bass. Maybe someday I'll ditch it for a real bass made by real luthiers (in a factory in Korea).
When I have a lot of material all these songs I'm doing will get real drums instead of these dumb Reason samples.
