The Cannoli Cowboy

Some have said that many of my songs belong in a movie so I thought I would write this one in hopes that someone will make a movie called a cannoli western and use this as the theme song wink grin

BiaB style = 12/8 Slow Blues
Tempo 55

I deleted the drums and replaced them with some GrooveMonkee MIDI loops. Drum sounds = Steven Slate's SSD5 - preset - Classic Ballad.
FX - Presonus compression

Piano - Presonus - XT Presence - preset - Acoustic Piano
Guitar - Presonus - XT Presence - preset - Steel Str Gtr Full
Strings - Kontakt - Solid State Strings
Bass - Ample Bass - preset Bass J - FX Toontrack - AZ Mix - preset chorus bass
All of the above were slightly modified to better fit the song.
All but the bass have a touch of Raum reverb.

I am playing my SX Tele copy through Amplitube - preset Ambient SR - FX - PSP spring reverb and Presonus Pro EQ

As always all comments are welcomed.

PS - This is just a little fun thing that I just had to do blush


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Mario,

Everything in that sounds good. Those Presonus sounds must be new - nothing in my version sounds that good...I'm not sure I even have an acoustic guitar sound...

Cool playing.

An enjoyable piece, for sure.

Thanx Floyd.

I am using Studio One Pro 4.6.2. There is a new version out now but I haven't updated to version 5 yet.

Everything sounds cool and in the right place except the kick drum. It's all tin foil batter tone disguising the thud. If you could EQ some of the batter /click I reckon you'd be home n hosed.


Cheers

I love this! I know by now that I can rely on you to always produce top-notch stuff - no exception here. Enjoyed it and it somehow relaxed me this dreary, wet London Saturday afternoon. Thank you :-)

Very cool Mario. Some very interesting tones. I just upgraded to Studio One 5. I have not tried the Sphere yet. Can turn out to be very expensive over time. Well done

OK, I had to search out the definition of Cannoli, (an Italian pastry) so you must have been thinking along the lines of a Clint Eastwood 'spaghetti western' theme. wink

I had a much easier time envisioning Randolph Scott walking down a small town main street with your tune as the background music.

You've put together another top shelf midi song with all the right elements. Enjoyed my listen and looking forward to the movie.

Hey Mario, great tune! Love the guitar, definitely Cannoli western (love too the Cannolies). I was waiting for some harmonica arpeggios in the background though.
Very well done.

Cheers

Hi Ray, I didn't detect a bad kick drum sound in my original. Maybe the Soundcloud conversion messed it up. Either way I will check it out and thanx for pointing that out.

Thanx. That Tele does have a nice tone to it. Plus it was very inexpensive!

Thanx for listening and commenting Scott.

I have yet to get the upgrade. What I want to know about the Sphere is that if we drop out do we get to keep what we already have? If not the just upgrading each year would be a better option for me.

Thanx Charlie.

I'm surprised that you didn't know what a Cannoli was! They are very popular up here, even for people whom are not of Italian decent.

Thanx Mike for this listening and commenting.

I definitely love Cannolies.

I actually thought about a harmonica but I didn't want to clutter up the background. Maybe I should have added one.

Mario,
Fun stuff! I like all but the drums. Not the beat, but the patch. Not sure if Drummica is still around. It used to be free from Sennheiser. Thank you for sharing!

P.S. Here is a poster for the film.

Misha.
