Here's my "Wild Wild West" submission entitled "Six-Gun Marinara"
It's similar to the first version I lost via saving technical error, missing the cooler melodic bass lines I had
before and tempo changes were more apparent in the original. String section was superior too, but it is what it is. I re-recorded most of these parts in about an hour after my project save brain fahrt, feeling rather dejected.
This was my first attempt at hats, bass drum via the Yama keyboard, ie: tapping it in with my fingers. Couldn't figure out a way to make smooth tempo transitions with the midi drums in reaper, or it was too much a battle to get several tempo changes to match, so I just ended up pounding it in manually. This is probably more an issue with my rhythm than the software. In retrospect, I wonder if you can pre-set reapers metronome fto make tempo changes at certain points prior to recording, like ramping up over 2 bars, etc.
That would have been the answer.
Acoustic: Washburn dreadnaught, close miked, DADGAD
Electric - Yamaha skull strat.
Bass 3/4" scale Rondo SX "Buh-Bye Kitty" Bass.
String patch on the keys, that washboardy percussion is a güiro, also one of my cheap Yamaha keyboard drum samples. The eerie repeating lash echo thing was pulled from a sound effects CD
The music didn't line up exactly with the duel like I wanted, my error. I think my first version was better in that regard too. But, I feel this is ok, if leaning a bit much on the melancholic, a sad/desperate cowboy on the run sort of vibe, while he "boomer bends" away soulfully to his heart's content LOL! I guess it's just what I was feeling.
4 points participation, 1 for the edit, 1 for the SFX = 6 for yet another short term stay
