Hi TC.. and other forumites visiting this thread. I have rolled a few out this week as I haven't been at work. I work full time for Coca Cola, servicing.. Anyway, All the backing tracks are my own work. I have recorded them overe a few years as I have been going out doing duo work a lot of the time. There's just a handful of tracks amongst my 400 or so that are from the internet, they are never quite as personal even after editing them to how you like it. Don Carroll TX knows well how to get a midi file sounding natural.. I have always used the same old stuff. I cant get on with recording audio on a PC or MAC. I like to turn real controls and faders on a mixer and not let computers do it. Simple stuff, A midi piano (weighted keys), Alesis MMT-8 sequencer, Roland U220 and JV-1010 sound modules, and an 8 track fostex DMT-8, to record onto and add acoustics guitar etc... As I say, I have really been lazy lately as I have recorded nothing new for a while, these are all tracks from the past. some of them I spent hours on copying each note of each instrument as close as I can. That was in the days of CMT being shown over here in the UK.. I play all the instruments, I had many years piano lessons from the age of 6 to 12. then Bass in band, then steel..I have all my tracks on 4 iPods, and use this method at gigs. For my youtube stuff, I just stick a track on playing and see what I come up with.. I dont practice much these days; Orange blossom is the only instrumental I play at our gigs usually, our venues like to hear songs mainly but OBS always goes down well. I will soon do some old Lloyd green stuff I think, he wrote and played some good instrumentals, I fancy Pedal Pattle next probably but I will definately have work out and practice these. Thats all I used to do for the first year of getting a steel is to pick along to all my steel guitar records. Doing ther youtube things and gigs and teaching my mate Keith White gets my steel set-up here at home otherwise it wouldn't come out the case these days. Thanks for asking. I have made this a pretty comprehensive reply as I get this question asked me a lot and I don't always get the time to send a reply as detailed as this.

The video bits are easy peasy but more time consuming than the music. I bought a secondhand mini DV camcorder off eBay in the summer. And simply record the audio...film the first take always! then fix any adio errors or mistakes,... film these sections too...then once the audio track is on the multitracker, just play it 3 or 4 times and play your steel along with it while recording diferrent video angles. Thats why occasionally, my fingers arn't always in sync with the video as I may have picked a section slightly different the second ime round.. Its easier doing this than starting off a track and hoping you are not going to make a mistake all the way through.. THEN,, just put the audio track onto the PC, and drag it into a video editing software, (any will do), then drag video from different camera angle into the TIMELINE and sync it a s best as you can, save it as a windows encoder file ( a small file you can upload to YouTube) and away you go.. Don't think I have missed much out there.. OH...I GET ASKED THIS A LOT TOO... What Amp are you using? at Gigs, a session 500. In the studio here, I go straight in the fostex DMT-8 from the steel via BOSS DD-2 and RV-2. Add a litle Alesis midi verb 4 in the final mix (usually patch 3,4 or 10) unedited, then 'Bobs Your Uncle'.. You have a track ready for youTube.
Thanks for asking TC.
