AINSLEY,

I listen to web clips of music all the time, most of it is good. Every once in a while, one will stick out. It may not be any "better" than the others, but there's something about it that captures me. Your playing does that, I like the style and tone.

Yesterday's Heart stands out. What equipment did you use on it?

Hi Al,
Cheers for those kind words :D

Yesterday's Heart is my favourite too, I like the mix as it was only the second tune I'd recorded.

I record everything through a Digidesign Mbox into my 550 MHZ Powerbook, no other outboard gear.
I used my PRS Custom 22 for all guitar parts both clean and dirty but on the main melody I doubled them up to make it fatter. I was gonna harmonise it but I couldn't work it out :( The bass parts were my Squire P bass into a POD 2 on a clean amp. OOPS ... forgot to say the guitar goes through my POD 2 as well. The drums are a BOSS DR770 and I just use the patterns within it as I'm not clever enough to sit and write my own. The keyboard parts are an old Roland GR 30 guitar synth I picked up on eBay, and it's triggered via my Fender telecaster.

It's not a bad little set up and gets good enough results for what I need.

Hey, how come your area look nice and neat and my area looks like a tornado came through? :cool:


What amp settings did you use for the leads? It sounds like different settings for the lead in the beginning vs. the ending.

Well first of all Al, I tidied up for the pic if you saw it now it would look like a tornado passed through ;)

As for the amp settings I think the POD 2 was set the same for both but I'm not sure :confused: but it sounds fatter at the beginning as I double the track (played it twice).
I can't get the sound I want out of the POD, I like a smooth lead sound with tons of sustain but I just can't nail it :( .
