Song 4 - "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash

Well, here’s my submission for this song. I honestly cannot say I’m entirely happy with it, but I’m tired of trying to get a better one-shot recording. Some minor timing issues and flubs, but yeah, moving on from this one.

Gear: ESP LTD B-205SM Bass, NUX Mighty Plug 3, Zoom B14 and Reaper for recording. Used Moises.ai to remove bass from the original and combined the audio/video together (seems slightly off to me, but again, don’t feel like spending more time on it).

Settings: Bass EQ (treble off, mid off, lows full, neck pickup only), instrument tuned to 435 Hz with the Zoom tuner. Zoom Effects off. NUX - my usual amp/ir/eq settings with reverb (damp) added (about 30 mix and 30 depth if I recall). Bass is rather high in the overall mix as we’re showcasing our playing, not the original song. :slight_smile:

Anyways, this is the result (played the first part to Josh’s tabs, then added some fills, trying to mimic what I was hearing in the track).
