Sounds great IMO. What stuff did you use -- software, hardware etc.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Software wise, it's recorded in Ardour. One or two wavs were recorded
under Windows: I think probably the ORGANized Trio VSTi (Hammond
emulator) was rendered to wav that way rather than recorded in Ardour,
mainly because I'd not then taken the plunge and moved to Linux. I used
shedloads of LADSPA plugins (which has caused me a lot of grief as I'm
suffering badly with denormal problems). It's mastered using a
combination of Ardour, Jamin and ReZound.
I think some of the earliest recorded live parts (bass and rhythm
guitar) were probably pre-amped through my old Yamaha MD4 four-track and
the guitar recorded with an AKG D3700 dynamic mic and quite possibly
using my onboard soundcard, eurgh!
The newest recorded live parts (all the lap steel bits) were done with
an SE Electronics SE2200A condensor through a Focusrite TwinTrak Pro,
into an Audiophile 24/96 and out through a pair of Wharfedale Diamond
8.2 Pro actives – I've spent a lot of cash in the past few months!
Bass is a cheap Tanglewood P-bass copy. Rhythm guitar is a Blueshawk and
the lap steel is my recently-acquired beautiful, bright green,
hand-built Bennett that's become known as the Marrow (another recent
purchase!). Oh and an Edirol PCR80 midi controller... I think I might
have GAS :D
Oops, sorry, information overload!
