A100

Well done, great for one take. This really is quite a unique style, as Geir said, metal on the acoustic meets a bit of Pete Townshend. Great chord sequences in there and really amusing lyrics. If you get high on pork and beans I don't want to sit next to you in that A100 I'm afraid.....

My only production hint - get one of those stereo mics that plug in to the MBR, that way you'll get a bit more width to a live recording like this. But it sounds pretty good for a one take into the onboard mike.

Cheers,

Nigel

LOL @ 'weighs a ton' - A fun song. Very good for a one take.

One take! I'm so impressed. I don't think I've ever done anything in one take.

Inspiring!

[Goes to bathroom. Really.]

Anyway... I love this kind of spontaneity. We need more of it. The production polish on some of the songs here is a little intimidating. This just sounds fun. I may give it a try.

Thanks everybody for "enjoying" my compelling and, er, though provoking song!!

You know, that's a great point. I've been getting ahead of myself regarding the production/playing skills ratio, and I should really be worrying about how to play rather than how everything sounds...

So I've been doing a lot of "Aim my ugly mug and acoustic at the MBR hole and hit the record button". It's quite refreshing, and I'm enjoying the hell out of the experience.
