Thank you very much for the kind comments.
>Did you do the keys also?
>Also, about the drum track, did you get the midi or program it yourself?The drums, bass, and keys came off a backing track. I fiddled with the dynamics and chopped it up a little here and there, but that's all. Here's where you can find this track and a bunch of others:
http://www.guitarbt.com/One problem with these is that they're mostly not ACIDized for time and tempo information, so you'll have to play with them a bit to fit them into a metronome. Some are actually all recorded live by whomever and the tempo fluctuates like you expect a live song would. In that case, you might have to just wing it without the benefit of your program's measure, beat, and tempo features. No biggie really, as long as you're not trying to record one riff and copy it throughout the song. That's a common Pro-Tools approach, but I don't like doing it that way anyway. I'll do multiple takes, but all the rhythm parts you hear were recorded during the same take, not pieced together. Same with the lead - probably twelve takes, but what you hear is just one of them, not cut and splice.
I did Mississippi Queen a few years back with the intention of making it sound like a live outdoor concert, so I dubbed in these cool crowd sounds and applauses and yelling and stuff. I also played every part and recorded only one take of each instrument. That's how it would be if it were played live - one chance, mistakes and all. Then I really screwed with it to make it sound like a bootleg done with a handheld recorder. You can hear it rub against the bootlegger's clothes at one point. It was pretty cool, except for a bass pan I added, which wouldn't have made it to a real bootleg, but only the average joe doesn't know that. Anyway, you can hear the crowd (no one) going wild for us (just me) in the huge stadium (my house). But I digress...
>Did you used Acid to record it?No, I used Cakewalk Guitar Tracks Pro. I've had that program for several years and I've always liked it, but this time was a bear. I saw that GEO uses acidplanet and I liked the look of it, so I signed up for it. I'll eventually migrate everything to my website - if and when I ever get that thing working.
