Samples are used in:

 

Tools I Used

I used Tap Tempo to tap out the groove I had in my head.

Recorded onto a Fostex Mr-8 with an SM58 on the neck joint of the guitar and mandolin, and an SM-57 on the sound hole. The bass was recorded into Reaper and then VSTied using the M-Audio general MIDI module using an acoustic bass setting. The piano I just played into Reaper - no VSTi. I made the simple drum piece in Hydrogen.

Original Samples

A guitar part, a lead mandolin part (all stereo), an acoustic bass, a simple hi hat and bass drum pattern, and a piano.

Process

Recorded it half on hardware, and then to the DAW for bass and piano.

Other Notes

I was too tired to do another one. Then did it anyway.
