Wow, lot’s going on with that. You really get some interesting and unique tones with all the stuff you have in there. I think it’s cool when I hear things I’ve never heard before.
I try to do something like that with my guitars, play like two or three different guitars, different pickups, pedal, and amp settings, just playing around with trying to find new tones and different ways different instruments can sound together.
Here’s one that Barry came up with just off my simple little 12 bar blues rhythm track. The rhythm track was just something I was playing around with, chasing tone with a couple of different guitars. Never looked at it as a production type of track.
Barry took that one simple rhythm track and added everything else. I thought it came out pretty good.
We’ve got another project in the works, a song Barry wrote called The Loner. Not the Neil Young cover, but I’m channeling my internal Neil on some of the guitar parts.
Voice is distorting. Worst case scenario is the audio interface crapping out on me. The end of my homerecording career.
Thinking about it, I still have an XP desktop gathering dust. It worked last time I fired it up. Best comp I ever had, but noisy as hell these days. Might blow up anytime. Christ, why do we bother with this? In the words of Warren Zevon: My shit is fucked.
I didn’t notice distortion but my battered hearing is not a good judge.
With my rig, sometimes the USB input from the interface needs to be unplugged and then plugged back in, sometimes several times and maybe jiggled a bit to make proper contact. It might be a interface driver issue but USB ports may deteriorate over time through repeated use. Whatever the case, sometimes the connection is totally without sound, sometimes a bit distorted and sometimes a lot.
Didn’t really notice that much distortion either, but like you, my ears aren’t the best.
Good point about unplugging the USB connector. Metal contacts oxidize over time, affecting conductivity. The metal on metal scraping you get when unplugging and plugging them helps remove that. Just don’t go in there with a sand blaster.
Thanks man. Well, I do use an old driver since the new one acted funny. They may have updated that one, though. Good tip, will check. Won’t change that Swedish sound, however…
