My next effort - 'Another Drinking Song'

[Greeny]

Another original composition and much-played live favourite of mine -

'Another Drinking Song'.

I wrote it when I was told I'd f*cked my liver through enjoying the booze too much. Luckily, the liver is the only organ that can repair itself, so I'm almost back to normal (whatever that is...).

The acoustic guitar is a Takamine 12-string recorded through the in-built mic (which allowed a some simultaneous backing vocals without using another track).

4-Track again.

Hope you like.

Acoustic sounds great man! What patch did you use?
Great tune and production is nice.

Cool song and atmosphere, i know that this is not the collaboration area but i'd like to add a bass guitar line if you want.

Saludos, Marcelo.

Sounds good. I'm more than happy to add it onto the collaboration thread if you come up with something. It's all standard tuning, but the guitars are capo'd at the 4th fret (if that helps...).

Thanks! The acoustic is recorded on the in-built mic using the 'VO Comp' effect patch. One of the best things about the BR (for me) is it's ability to get a good acoustic sound through the mic. Much better than the flat electro-acoustic tone you get through a lead.

It's a 12-string takamine though - a nice full sound, but only works in certain contexts and in certain songs.

[oldrottenhead]

did you know you can change the effects for the inbuilt mic, or any input, to the guitar effects i often use stclean guitar effect for a trippy vocal sound.. to change press effects then using the left cursor press it till it goes to mc, then press - value to change to gt, then use the right cursor to go the number of the effect then use the value button to pick an effect.
does that make sense?

[Greeny]

That's a good tip - thanks ORH. I was wondering if that was possible. I used to put vocals through the drum panning and distortion effects on my old Tascam. You can't beat a bit of trippyness!

That's right. But not just guitar effects on any input. You can use any effects bank with any input. I've recently discovered that the Enhancer effect from the MIC bank does a nice job of making my solidbody guitar's humbuckers sound like single-coil pickups, somewhat like a Fender Stratocaster. Too bad the Enhancer isn't available in the GTR bank so I could combine it with other guitar effects. I wish we didn't have to deal with banks and algorithms and could instead use any effects in any combination.

By the way, you can also use the insert effects with the drums by changing the insert point (see pages 64 and 65 in the Micro BR manual, 3rd edition). This can produce some pretty wild drum sounds.

Ok, here we go!!!

I have added a bass line to glue all the instruments, a basic one with some subtle fills according to the guitars and others free.
The Bass is a cheap one and the preset is a custom made from the clean amp with metal speakers and compression.
I hope you like it!!

Feel free to move the post to the collaboration subject, i don't know how to do it.

Saludos desde Argentina!!!

[Greeny]

Thanks Prive! That's the first time I've ever heard anything other than myself on one of my songs!

I love what you've done - it's really added something, and the closing coda sounds awesome now.

I don't know how to move this to the collaboration thread either, but I'm sure one of the mods can.

I'm going to post this new version on my music site. What's your name so that I can give you a credit on there? (message me if you don't want to post it on the forum...).

Nice work!
