The Bells Of Rhymney

[hooper]

The Bells Of Rhymney is an old favorite that I've been playing for over 40 years.  Who knows, gimme another decade and maybe I'll get the hang of it....

All tracks (except drums) were recorded by inputting guitars or external mics into the M-BR and then routing the output from the BR into my PC soundcard and recording in Sonar.  Ie: Using the M-BR as an input channel strip.  I find this a pretty easy way to work: Using presets on the BR to quickly dial in a sound and then enjoy the benefits of editing and mixing on a PC multi-tracker.  No exotic processing used, just EQ adjustments, setting panning and levels and bumping a selection up or down 3db here and there.   12 tracks were used for the mix.  Sure, I still think the M-BR is a fantastic tool stand-alone by itself. But I like the benefits of using a PC multi-tracker too.

Sublime Hooper.

And there is nothing wrong with oldrottenhead being gay.

I think we should tell everyone.

Oh man.  That is so well-done.  Can't imagine how great it is to be not only a great musician/vocalist; but, also have the technical side down as well.  This one is going on my iPod.  Thanks for sharing.

Nice one Hooper, sounding great 

[Greeny]

This is lovely. Clean, folky, and soulful. It has that great Byrds 'jangle' going on with the guitar. Spot on production too.

I didn't understand one word of the tech stuff - but who cares?! It sounds great!
