All The World is Green (lap steel and marimba Tom Waits cover)

One of my favorite Tom Waits songs. I wanted to keep it short and sweet, so I based this on the Letterman '02 version he did, which is missing the second verse.

Visit my iTunes store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/scott-haskitt/id330411699

Lap steel signal chain: Azalea lap steel, ibanez VL10 volume pedal, UA solo 610 mic pre, Firepod, Logic Pro 9, Waves Supertap 2 Delay, Waves SSL channel strip.

The malletkat is triggering Dave Samuels Marimba sample library. I also took the low range of the malletkat and triggered acoustic bass sounds in Logic.

Mics: Rode NT2 and MXL 2001.

This is so great!

I've always wanted to pick up lap steel, and after seeing this, I just might!

[haskitt]

@Ignitionator - Do it! Mine isn't an expensive model or anything, but I love it. Even the simplest parts are really rewarding to play on lap steel - which is a great thing for me! I'd pick up a volume pedal too. I use the Ibanez VL10... a little signal loss, but I run it into a decent preamp so it evens out.

This is great!

How did you treat your main vocal? What comes after the NT2?

I recorded a singer with his own NT2 and thought: wow sounds awesome.
