Steve Alexander replied to Mike Foltz's discussion 'Software' in the group Recording

Hi Mike. I've used Sonar for several years (PC based) and have had good results. I only use a small fraction of what the program will do - you might download a trial version of Sonar LE to see if you like it. (Manufacturer is Cakewalk). As importa...

I may have answered this already, but for the benefit of anyone who visits this page...that song was recorded directly to a Boss BR-600 and mixed and mastered internally on the BR. I was playing a good guitar (a Santa Cruz, I think) I borrowed from 12th Fret, a great guitar shop in Toronto.
This tune was requested by Boss as a demo to show off the acoustic guitar recording capabilities of the BR-600. I was noodling on the guitar on the couch one night (as most nights), and my wife liked the main lick. That encouraged me to complete the rest of the song for the recording session. We did book a studio, so we would have better acoustics than my living room. So, if you liked the sound, thanks. You can get great results using today's recording gear on your own. http://www.roland.com/products/en/BR-600/index.html

My CD mastering, as I mentioned previously, was done in Toronto at Inception Sound.

Great sounds on Midnight Hitch Hike. May I ask who you used to Master?
Thanks for the tips on mastering by the way.

I'm still working on "Spotted Pony." I haven't had the guts to record it on Garage Band yet, but it's coming along.
