Higgie Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Just finished this: [url="http://soundcloud.com/higgie142/gaslighting-abbie"]Gaslighting Abbie[/url] Not perfect, there's a couple syncing issues and the odd bum note. Was just a quick demo thrown together to test out my new Audio Interface (courtesy of chriswilliams666), and the Addictive Drums VSTi in Reaper. Maple Neck Musicman Stingray 5 with dead strings and a high action. It was recorded direct with no effects added. It badly needs a setup.... Let me know what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB3000S Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Really great playing, and I absolutely love the sound of a Stingray with flats-like strings. Amazing song and delightful bassline as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Academy Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Fantastic job. I remember learning this and having to go and lie down in a darkened room every half an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Great playing mate, I'm sufficiently impressed! In fact you've just inspired me to go and record some Steely Dan stuff later on. Edited April 7, 2011 by risingson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to redo the middle bit as I buggered it up on the first run through. So it's literally just 2 takes, the middle bit, and the rest of the song! It does sound quite nice on second thoughts, but I really prefer the zingy kind of sound on the record! [quote name='Pete Academy' post='1191413' date='Apr 7 2011, 09:02 AM']Fantastic job.

Is there anything I'm playing there that sounds wrong? There's a couple notes in the Middle 8 before the jazzy riff that I'm still not sure on....

I might have a go at Peg or Josie next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
