Description : My rendition of a Bruce Springsteen song. I started by tracking to a metronome with a Fender "Roland Ready" Strat and my trusty Line 6 POD V1. into Logic 9 via a Focusrite Saphire Pro 40. So I had an audio and a MIDI track established for arranging and off we go. Bass is a Gibson EB-1 through said Line 6 POD. The organ sounds are from a Kurzweil K2000S and an EM-U Vintage Keys B3. Both are triggered by the Roland Guitar Synth. There are many guitar tracks with many more being hurled into the void of the preverbal cutting room floor. Vocals came next and then back to adding guitars. The original track goes nearly 15 minutes.
This Mercy Rule Edit brings this version in at under 7 minutes.

I saw your name at the bottom of the screen and thought "aha I must stop by Ron's page" and so here I am.

I think Bruce would be pretty impressed with what you've done and from watching a recent documentary about the man I know that he is a perfectionist.

I really enjoyed listening. All the best.

Thanks Firebird. There is a very nice video of Bruce performing the song posted on YouTube from the MTV Series "Unplugged". However Bruce performed with full ensemble that evening and called his segment "Plugged".

Description : Smokey little semi-blues, dub(ish) thing. This was the most recent render of a track I hadn't really quite finished off my old, now defunct laptop. I lost some plugins so on the new rig it it doesn't load like it used to. So not sure I'll come back to it. Pseudoble played some synth and provided the trumpet sample. Music made by humans.
