Ten Years After tribute (much better job this time)
I think this may be a little more listenable. The guitars more accurately portray what I was trying to do the first time. Please let me know what you think.

Much better. Keep up the good work
The tones are stock GNX4 tones (Phase4 and Ducksolo) but the acoustic work is done on a four track tape machine. I've used it for a while and it adds a 'roundness' to the tone for lack of a better description. I think it may just be the difference between analog and digital recording, but I'm too new at this to be sure. The guitar is a Sigma, a nice import from Martin that was set up by Denny Zager (Zager and Evens - \"In the year 2121\").
I have a Fishman 'rare earth' soundhole pickup, a Sure SM57, and a Audio Technica AT 2020 all fed to a Tascam PortaStudio 414MK2. The Audio Technica is preamped by a Studio Projects VTB1 V tube pre. I like that preamp because you \"dial in\" the amount of tube you want in the mix. Too much tube too fuzzy, too little tube to harsh (cold).
It took a long time to come up with a mix that left my acoustic sounding like the guitar I love to hear. But I think this is a fairly accurate sound now.
That recording was mixed down as an MP3 and fed to the GNX4 where I added the electric guitars.
I ENJOYED THE SONG AND THE SOUND OF THE GUITARS
have you tried recording with the drums --It will help you to keep the time_please don't take this wrong--It just sounds like the timing is off or something
hey I'm no daisy---just some helpful criticizism--I hope
ROCK ON
keep up the good work...
See Ya,

WOG5858, yup I think you're right. There's a bit of a rhythm issue there. Normally I would record with drums, but this time I was so pleased with how well the acoustic recorded I guess I kind of lost focus. I should revisit that with drums... gives me a new project to start.
Glad you liked the tune and the sound. As Always I had a blast doing it.
