They Died With Their Boots On

[Farrell Jackson]

Very well done! This could fit into any Clint western as the theme song. I've always wanted to do one of these but never got to it...but I still have the yearning. Nicely done!

[Redler]

Instrumental music at its best! The production works fine, too.

Enjoyable listening!

[SharksDontSleep]

The drum arrangement is clever and there's lots of small details to be heard in this one.

Cheers, I program the drums myself (mostly in step time) using iPad Garageband, so I'm pleased you appreciated it. 

The production works fine, too.

And another thanks. I've been immersing myself in Presonus Studio One & trying to learn the various techniques for recording, mixing & mastering. There's still so much to learn, but I think I'm heading the right way. 

Once again thanks to all that have listened and commented.

Very nice, love those sounds and the spaghetti western feel. Really well put together and a great listen.

[Rob Grant]

You nailed that western theme perfectly. Perfect guitar tone and melody. Orchestrated very nicely, it adds to the movie theme idea. Great listen?

[AndyR]

Oooo yeah.... love this.

Spaghetti western music as played by The Shadows.

I was thinking that too!

And cool to hear that someone else is learning Studio One.
I've been concentrating on the mastering side for a few months after doing one multi-track recording. But then yesterday I discovered, with what I've learnt, how quickly I can do a single mic songwriting demo with vox/acoustic now... I used to do that with a Boss MicroBR (and loved it for that) and then later I use a smartphone to capture those... but I was never that keen on the quality for posting them. They were just for me for memory.
But with Studio One - WOW! I had a take done, EQ'd, "mixed" and then mastered in less that an hour.

I've not managed to conquer the virtual amp thing, though, it doesn't grab me yet.
I did a couple of demo things early on using Ampire, which seems pretty good, but it added a layer of IT fiddling I didn't want to cope with at the time, and I've got loads of outboard stuff I've always used for guitars.

HOWEVER... I love the sound you're getting for that guitar and bass, though... I might try again now!

Yeah, I've been playing it on repeat while typing - this is fabulous. Like Rob says, you nailed that western theme vibe.
The more I listen the more I think "Hank" (is it a red strat? I got one of those ).
And the mix is so wide and open - love those acoustics on the edges. And that last chord - yess - it's VERY 60s

Cheers. The guitar is a 1980's Washburn HB35 in single coil setting. It's the only guitar I own, but I can get most sounds I want from it. I wouldn't be without it. I'm really a bass player, who attempts to get by on guitar, so I never do anything too complicated ... Mainly 'cause I can't! 
The acoustics are virtual instruments from iPad Garageband, along with all the drums, strings & synths. I record them as a GarageBand project, then export each track, one at a time & import them into Studio One.

Thanks again for the listen & comment. Nice to hear from a fellow Studio One user too.
