I really liked the sound of this one, the slow build up with the tapping was really nice. It had a really relaxing, ambient sound to it. Cool loops throughout too, I look forward to seeing more stuff from you.

ahhhhh, I'm not a Howie fan, so I was unaware of this. I'm still impressed however.

lol, you and me both would love to hear some vocals..i think the marlboros have eaten any chance of good vocals from these lungs..ah well...im thinking of throwing up a sorry so sorry cover with the vocals soon...really wish i had the second dl4 for the vocals to hit the song dead on..we'll see how it goes anyways..thanks for the good words

This is great for only using the thing since christmas.
Add some reverb next time. It sounds like it was recorded in a cardboard box.

I havent posted in at least 6 months, and I feel the urge to post and say how fucking badass this is.

EDIT: do you have a DD5 as well?

JacknCoke · Post by **JacknCoke** » Thu Jan 06, 2005 1:54 am

mwr - thanks for the words...when you say "it sounds like a cardboard box" are you referring to the beginning beat? or the whole track in general?

buck - thank you as well...no dd5, just a guitar and a dl4...im actually looking into pickin up a dd6, and hopefully another dl4...praying on my income tax check here..

very smooth man, very smooth

Buck23 · Post by **Buck23** » Thu Jan 06, 2005 12:24 pm

reason I ask about the DD5 is because Howie uses one on his guitar, so when you hear 8 drum beats he's only hitting the guitar 4 times, and the other 4 beats are the DD5's echoes of his beats...didnt know if you just did all 8 yourself, or if the DL4 can do that and loop at the same time.
