August 10, 2016  -  User Showcase Song - Every Time I See Your Face

Many of you know me as being firmly stuck in the 80s, but The Blues has always been my first love and for this one, I wanted to get away from the traditional 12 bar, so I've come up with an 8 bar and a more jazzy feel. For those of you who are interested in such things, I tracked the guitars and vocal through a 1960s British valve amplifier made by a company called RSC and used an old Shure Unidyne 3 microphone which I've had for ever. For the drums, I used the Drum Source sample player with our own samples. For the snare drum we made a new sample using an old Premier wooden snare, with a loose head and snare and recorded it very dry using the same mic about two feet above the drum. There are very few other effects used, other than compression from an old Drawmer valve compressor, a bit of chorus on the guitars and a short reverb here and there. The guitar was my old Telecaster. I'm hoping that the result has an old style recording feel to it.

The RTs are:
Tenor Sax RT404, Baritone Sax RT2135, Bass RT 564 and the Piano was a midi Supertrack with a patch from Forte.
