Green Onions recorded in Reaper

[jdavidb]

I've finished something in Reaper. It's Green Onions played like the most popular version recorded by Booker T and the MG's. I kinda played it like a replica, but I wasn't trying for replicas of the instrument sounds. Just good sounds that were close enough / different enough.

It should be the main top video here:

I uploaded it to Youtube too. Livevideo and Youtube's re-encoding added some emphasis on the snare range. I also had a hihat pedal clicking alongside the snare in the mix. I did mix it to have a loud snare, but those uploads ended up with the snare a little too loud. So, turn your snares down some if you're going to upload your stuff to those video sites.

I put Reaper and a link to Reaper's site in the video description at both sites.

In case you're interested in the difference of how vids look and sound at YT compared to LV, here's the one uploaded to Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcuqWbEAuS4

The reverb stuff that I worked out is a little mangled in those uploads too, but that's no big deal.

very nicely done sir!

And cheers to a fellow Ibanez user.

yeah it's the big fat mahogany one... heavier than the other Ibanez S's. I wish I had done something different for the 2nd half of that guitar solo part in the middle.

Nice, man! I like it.

I also checked out one of your other videos, Plowing Uranus.

Hehe . . . the deadpan delivery on that was fabulous. Pissing myself here.

Thanks Scottdru. That one was more popular on Youtube. I made a sequel to it. Livevideo makes the sequel invisible since it is 18+. The sequel is called "Hello From Uranus". Here it is on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mPxnZNs26w
