Hi, everybody. Sorry to keep you hanging on. Craziest. . .week. . .ever.
Thanks for the encouraging words! (and hey again, Odsus! How've you been?)
Yes, I did produce this track; played and recorded all the instruments myself. I was going for a White Album/McCartney sound. It was recorded and mixed in ProTools at my home studio (a.k.a. my apartment). There is a slight amount of compression on various things, and a bit of reverb here and there, but overall I try to stay "hands-off" as much as possible.
I've also been unsatisfied with the bass sound, Slider. Good call. I'm going to borrow an amp and redo it. This was done direct, and it never quite sits right.
Re: panning. I love the hard panning, but I hear what you guys are saying about having a tiny bit in the other side too. I did 100% L/R on this mix, but I've since found that 80-85% gives a hint of it in the other side, but still creates the extra-wide field. I tried that in another song (haven't messed with this one yet) and it did seem to pull the whole thing together nicely. So. . .maybe I'll have to do another and post it again.
Re: G. Martin. I've heard his name somewhere. I assume he's big in the music industry. . .?
(that's a joke)
Re: Wurly. Yes, it is a sample. It's played through my old amp, though, so that helped some, but I dream of having a real one. Good idea about renting one. Hmmm. . .now to find a place in PDX. . .
Re: Rian/Portland. Yupyup. . .at home.

Where do you like to do your projects?
Re: Lara Michell. She rules. I really like her songs, so I took one of them and did my own version of it, then e-mailed her about it. She loved it, so I invited ther to come sing on it. Based on that song, we're collaborating on a couple of her new songs. We just started last week. . .very exciting! Our latest one is really beautiful and sparse.
Hope that answered everything. . .hope i didn't miss anybody.
