Time to stick my heart on my sleeve I guess!
Instrumental only...Titled "Sunday Arvo" Why....er...Cause it was
recorded on a Sunday arvo! I did this back in Ardour Beta 28 I think in
about 3 hrs. Very simple and lots of rough edges.

Sounds good!
What are you using for a microphone and recording
enviroment? How about PC hardware and software? I'd
be happy if I could get my live recordings to sound
that good!

Thanks..
Mic is a Peavey MT400 I think...Condenser Studio mic. Straight into a
phantom power unit and into the Delta 1010LT and Ardour. Environment as
far as recording space is a 12 by 14 cubby hole in my garage with
nothing special done to it. Audio box is an Asus Mobo with Barton XP
2500 proc, 1 gig ram ran headless with XDMCP from several different
machines to get more Desktop real estate. At that time Mdk 10.1 and
thacs packages. Used SWH compressor (SC-4) and Jamin to master. Only fx
were Ambience VST for reverb and some LADSPA eq (TAP plugs) for Guitars
and bass. Laid down the acoustic first then bass and last lead guitar.

I think it is fantastic! Very nice piece of music, and the recording
sounds excellent. This one is definitely going on my play frequently list.
Had a hard time downloading it though, had to go through a couple of
wget -c invocations to get it all.

very nice ... it's amazing how, on a sunday, everything *becomes* sunday ;)
have you ever seen the straight story? this reminds me of the soundtrack
to that ... midwestern farms and fields etc.

lol~ No... As we all know...there are only 12 notes! :)
All I did was tune my low E down to a D and hit record...what followed
after is mostly what you hear. Acoustic was one take...bass was several
attempts (and it shows :) ) and Lead work was one take.
Often you get a riff or melody stuck in your noggin and it's hard to not
relay that but this, because it was very spontaneous, gave me no time to
think about it.

That's a tough one. I've got my favorite vocal
producer whom I've learned to trust. This person can
tell me that something sucks and we move right along
to the next risk without a hitch. And he encourages me
to really go for it. Another person that engineers my
vocals doesn't express any opinion and leaves me
guessing which frustrates me to no end.
A talented singer I know told me, "Ron, you white boys
don't take enough risks. Stop being afraid to sound
stupid." I think that brotha was dead on and I've
loosened up and written my best melodies and
performances since.

Just gave it a quick listen. Very nice song. The rough
edges that bothered me are in the "lead" track and
specifically the run located at about 2:11.
Where are you picking up the noise? Maybe there's a
noisey analog mixer in the chain. If yes, are all its
channels equally noisey. You can hear the noise while
you are playing but if you edit or filter the ending I
doubt many people will ever notice anything. I've used
the Rezound Arbitrary Fir filter on air conditioners.
Great job, I like it alot.

Actually I said I used a phantom power unit...I forgot I didi not have
that then....because I needed Phantom power I ran the mic thru a
Behringer 601. And my Guitar FX are noisy too. I new the noise was there
but figured only guys like you would pick it out! :)
Thanks for pos feedback.

A soulful piece, thanks. :)
Production-wise, someting like turning your screen off while recording
or anything that could do to keep that buzz shut, without eating to much
of your sound, would make your track a delight. The acoustic guitar
nicely fills my heaphones cups and, no matter the noise, your somewhat
crisp acoustic guitar sound certainly gives a personality to your
recording.
I like your "less is more" approach a lot ! Your song sounds
pretty american to my european ears, but in a very tasty way. Good
things from America coming along ! :)

Thank you ALL for your kind and constructive comments.
On reflection I should have gated my guitar amp. At least in the final
mix. It was my nasty ol' Tele single coil pickups with one too many
Florescent lights and monitors and fx pedals, etc.
As for the Not quite all American sound...well, thats because I'm not
quite all American. I'm Australian but have lived in the US for 16 yrs!
:) Seen too much Leo Kottke! :) Michael Hedges is awesome too but he's
British I think. Got a lot of exposure in the US for awhile.
On another note, to anyone that has reservations sharing music they have
recorded and have that "perfectionist" streak that tends to inhibit them
from airing anything that is less than a Beatles Hit...Be NOT afraid! :)
I ~was~ that perfectionist...and it stopped me from having some fun!
Instead of over thinking the music structure and working myself into a
nervous mess BEFORE I even hit the record button...I said to
myself..."Self, lets DO SOMETHING, even IF it sucks!" And after the
acoustic take, I listened back and thought...ok...that's not
bad...BUT.... And the real test is when I listen 2 hrs later after
being distracted! I put it on while having a cigarette down stairs and
listened again. For the first time I could say to myself, "I like
that!!" :) Not from Ego or any other false bravado. Simply, I like it!
And the folks here are very gracious yet constructive in their critism~
Ron could have said "Them notes at 2:11 SUCK! You Byte dood...give up!"
:) And he did not...but he did state his case which is appreciated.
If everyone says "Yeah buddy, nice job" without any sincerity, I learn
nothing! And as for the Buzz in the mix...I guess I knew better...but
again, I let the creative part take over and drive the bus. The bum
notes at 2:11....All else was acceptable to me in that take so I left
that in for fear of not capturing the rest of the feel in the first
take. Not necessarily the best or right decision but I've played it to
friends and you guys! I'm not trying to convince Nashville I have a hit! :)

That's flippin' Luvverly Russell! Nice One! I particularly like the sound
you've got on the acoustic. I could personally have done with hearing more of
the electric, you could always duck out the run at 2:11, either that or
feature it (heh ;). The buzz doesn't bother me, I like a bit of 'rattle &
hum' in my music.
On another note, to anyone that has reservations

That is actually the real test. Most of us are our own worst critics. When it
stops hurting I find it's usually right.

Or feel the fear and do it anyway. Nothing like a bit of nervousness to really
get those creative juices flowing.
That's on my playlist, I think it'll sit well next to "Tide". :)
