Hey Dan,

Thank you so much for the kind words, I do appreciate it.

Glad you liked my 'ode to The Allman Bro's. I've certainly listened to and played my fair share of southern rock tunes over the years. I love that style of music and of course all the twin guitar parts. I used to due "Jessica" in a band back in the 80's, we did the twin part and then the other guitar player would run over and do the piano solo... Fun Stuff!
(Of course we did "Free Bird" too)

Hey I think your quote below is spot on. Love your comparison to decorating!

I was just loving some of the tones & FX I was getting from the JamVox and I knew I'd spend hours trying to re-create it if I recorded dry and then tried to get it back with plug-ins. So I thought, hey if you like it, let's just go with it! Your right it saved ton's of time and I certainly won't shy away from doing it some more on future projects.

Thanks again,

Greg

You mention liking the sounds and commiting them to the recording- that's a very good thing. It's not often done anymore and because of that, I think we make ourselves work twice as hard as we would if we just commited to a great sound on the way in and recorded it. It's not only liberating, it usually sounds ten times better and gives the overall sound of the tune a firm direction in which to go. It's like decorating a room and choosing the focal point- be it color, the drapes, the furniture, whatever. Once you commit to the focal point, it works to define the rest of the decor of the overall space. Listen to me right- like I'm an interior decorator, which I'm NOT! LOL! But it's the same thing with audio and it's no small thing to do that. Kudos to getting and commiting to a sound on the way in.
