Banjo, 'lectric guitar, 'lectric drums, singin. <br /><br /> Oh, and the drums are Hydrogen with a 70s vintage drumkit. I'm recording my home-stuff in Ardour nowadays, which, with JACK, plays very nicely with the drum synth. It does crash randomly, which is not cool, though. post:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.2105 Tue, 06 May 2008 16:48:46 -0800 tmcw banjo guitar hydrogen vocals http://music.metafilter.com/2105/Tell-Yourself#9892 Real drummers also crash randomly, so you're not too bad off.<br> <br> Although...I wonder if you'd be better off wiping out the drum track altogether and replacing it with foot stomps and a tamborine, or pounding the dining room table and clapping your hands, or something. It's nice and organic but the drums sort of feel counter to that. Maybe if you just re-amped them and made them sound more lo-fi? comment:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.2105-9892 Sun, 11 May 2008 02:03:33 -0800 Karlos the Jackal http://music.metafilter.com/2105/Tell-Yourself#9901 You might be right - I have the multitracked stuff still, but I might just re-record it with a different structure for all of it. comment:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.2105-9901 Sun, 11 May 2008 19:06:53 -0800 tmcw
