The song is called "Headed Home" and was written specifically to try out my new Variax 300.
I had just finished watching "walk the line" so its a J Cash type song...8)
The instruments on this are:
Bass..Fender P Bass into a Pod XTlive using the bass pack addon
Guitars : Variax 300 doing the acoustic, resonator and banjo parts, these are the presets....no tweaking.
Vocals, Studio Projects C3 thru RNC
AW4416 recording Platform, using its Reverbs and Delays, and a Lexicon MPX550 using "smooth ambience" across the guitars.
I had just purchased the Variax 300 as a writing tool, when I cant get to my gear in the studio. The studio is used by my wife to teach singing out of 2 days a week minimum....8(
I think it does a pretty fair job, certainly good enough representation for demoing. Its weird to play an electric guitar and have a dobro sound come out....and the physicality of that is strange....
The drums are stereo loops from drums on demand, I have no control over individual drums.
Phil, if you get a chance to listen to this, I wonder if you could comment on whether you think, a high end preamp, would have any real sonic benefit over what you hear here.....(hehehe...hear here....8).....)
This is the quality of mixes and performances I turn out. I wonder .....like everyone else on the net...8)....if shelling out money for say a 1073dpa, would have any real benefit...over this .....
Is your recording / mix any good? Find out here!
