I bought myself a Roland VS-2580 the other day and the instruction book is like Greek to me.
But anyway I succeded in getting something to stuck on the harddisk and here is a "shaky" version of a song written by out singer and a friend from Kentucky USA.

It's far from tight in the rythm and it sounds a little strange here and there but I show it anyway :-)

Thanks a lot for the answer.

The drums is Roland V-drums, so it's not a drummachine but not acoustic drums either.

In the next step I'm gonna do a new recording of this song and try to shape up the sound of the drums to have a little more "edge" especially on the snare.

I'm totally new to this way of working so I'm taking the in-famous "baby steps" hehe.

Very nice,thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the kind words.

I have made a new "trash" mix of the song in the first post! I tried to make the guitar sound more unclean but I'm not shure if it turned out good, what do you guys think?

Very good, clean sound. I like this production style a lot better than the overproduced sound of modern country. Your demo sounds good enough, no need for an album! Great Tele picking, too. You guys over there in the Norway/Sweden area sure have your country music down!

Impressive. Nice song too. What amp/pedals are you playing through? Good playing, by the way.

Sadly I had to line the guitar directly to the porta because of my neightbourghs but I use a chain of Boss pedals like the compressor, the "overdrive" and a "bluesdriver". For effects I use a Digitech 112 and I have a short echo on it, almost a rockabilly delay with one repeat and a mid size reverb.

Usually I use a Fender Deluxe one 12" amp but not on this first recording.

I also play on my Fender 52 reissue Tele modified by a guy in Montana who put two Parson White stringbenders (B and G) and a Lindy Fralin blues special pick up on it.
