It's a very short piece.

dtb should hear this, He's the man for this.

I have been told that recording a banjo can be a bitch.

Short but sweet - very original vocals man! You say a lot melody-wise. Very folk/indie. Good job on the tune/playing/mix!
 
Cool man...I dig it. Kind of an eerie vibe to it. Sweet. Swamp music man.... :D
 
just got my banjo yesterday so i had to record something you know? mainly it was just a jam session with myself .

thanks for the feed back guys it was really all one take on each track with a little ozone to clean it up and make it just over processed enough to cover up any mistakes (which they are)lol...
 
Good banjos sound like an itch that needs scratch'n.
I had a good scratch waiting for the song to take off - a VERY promising INTRO......finish it please..
Cheers

How was this recorded......what equipment did you use?
Sounds great
 
i used a tascam-122 and an sm57,

i held the mic for the vocals about 6-8" away(with a tshirt and a coathanger for a popper stopper)

propped the 57 on my bed and sat on a trashcan to record the banjo and guitar.

the banjo is a mm-150 gold tone miced about 6-8 inches away

the guitar is a 100$ jazmine takamine cutaway, miced 6 inches on the rythm and 2-4 on the lead

the slide at the beginning and end was an old johnson that one of the other soldiers here left in a shipping trailer with the strings too tight. so it warped the soundboard and i got it from em and use it for a clunky dobro (the strings set about an 1" off the neck)

then i slapped a ozone 3 preset of "tape saturation strong mids" on the master bus, and mixed down, then took the mixdown cloned it and put another tape sat strong mid on one mix and left the other on dry giving it about 10-15 ms of delay on the double processed track

i dont have any monitors so i had to rely on presets that i know work... and mix in headphones...
