“Drunken Calls” is an original song by Bob Sell and co-written with Matt Crace. Bob wrote this song on my Taylor acoustic about getting older and outgrowing drunken calls. The Tele is through a Fender Deluxe Reverb amp and the Peavey bass is DI. Recorded with Logic Pro X.
Playing For You (Original Song)
Thanks to my YouTube Subscribers for the comments and suggestion on my rough mix. This is the rewrite and the final mix of my original song “Playing For You”. Enjoy!
Love How It Feels (Music Video)
Love How It Feels is an original song by Bob Sell. Recorded using Pro Tools12 amd Final Cut Pro X for the video. I’m using a Taylor 410-MA acoustic guitar and a Fender American Standard Telecaster. The Telecaster is played through a Fender Deluxe Reverb tube amp. A Fender Jazz bass was DI to the converter and to Pro Tools. I’m using a Radial J48 Direct Box to record the guitars dry signal for re-amping. The Pearl Drum Kit was recorded live with 8 various mics. Sure SM57s on the snare and toms. Rode NT1As were used for the drum overheads. Sure Beta 52A for the kick drum. The vocal mic was a Rode NT1A.
Creating Lead Guitar Harmony
In this video I’m creating a lead guitar harmony part using flex pitch in Logic Pro X. The pitch of each note is transposed up a third. I started with a minor third and if that note fell outside of my key then I moved it up a major third. A delay plugin was use to simulate a second guitar played in a different take. Please give me your thought. Thanks for watching. Please comment and subscribe. Enjoy!
Recording Acoustic Guitar and Drums
In this video I’m recording a Taylor acoustic guitar and tracking live drums. The acoustic guitar was mic’d with a Rode NT1A. The acoustic track was recorded a second time with the guitar cords played in a different position (barre chords verses open chords) and panned hard left and right. This gave the guitar a bigger wider sound. I’m using Pro Tools 12 for the recording with 8 mics on the drum kit. Mostly SM57s and a pair of Rode NT1A for the drum overheads. No software instruments or midi used in the recording other than a click track. In addition to the Taylor acoustic, I used an American Standard Telecaster to record a rhythm and lead part. A fender Deluxe Reverb Amp was mic’d with a Sure SM57. Minimum processing. Using EQ and compression on most tracks. Plate reverb on the snare drum and delay on the vocals.
