Walk a my in My Shooz!

This is my latest rock song. All recorded on my Kronos. I have to say that I really love recording on this machine!

The drums are just a loop and the bass is Picked Precision I think. The guitars are as follows. On the left side is my Ibanez Les Paul copy first run through my Zoom G1Next pedal,
Right side is my Epiphone Studio Dot also run through my Zoom. The spacey lead guitar is panned centre and is my new for Christmas; love my wife!; Ibanez RG. For the lead I used a stereo delay in the kronos. All other guitar processing is from the Zoom. I run it all direct into the Kronos as the Zoom pedal has good amplifier modelling.

The first vocal you hear was my Apex 435 mic put through my Behringer Tube Ultragain 100 with a 20 DB pad and the gain cranked! I also recorded it through a distorted tube amp model in the Kronos and printed it that way.
The lead vocal and hard and I'm not using the tuba amp model. Just a BPM tape echo after the fact.
The spoken part is run a bit hot into the Behringer and I've got a distorted rotary speaker effect on it.

Mastering compression done lightly, O-verb and from there recorded into my Yamaha AW16G with using the "Vital Mix" setting.

Love it! Nice heavy guitars and the vocal processing is perfect for the song.

besides the bass and drum parts, are there actually any keyboard parts on the song? a little constructive criticism- sometimes it sounds like to guitar parts and drums are fighting each other. this can happen with looped drums, if you're not acustomed to playing with the strict time characteristics of clockOied drums. other than that the rest of it sounds pretty good in the mix is decent.

Thanks Ron. Nope. No keyboards on this one. I do understand what you mean about the guitars versus the drums. I couldn't find any loops that actually fit the push and pull of the guitars so I just went with what I had. I appreciate that you noticed and also brought it up. I know I need some criticism 'cause most of the time I get a lot of smoke blown up my bottom!

I wanted to write something that my heavy band could play and my leader suggested that since I do play guitar, maybe I should write something that doesn't have any keys.
Thanks again!

I just noticed that I've got the title wrong. I should be, "Walk a Mile in My Shooz". I even managed to get it wrong on my Soundcloud page. Must be an omen of things to come. Hope 2014 is better.
