The Last Ride

I meant to record a skate punk track BUT I ended up watching the Hateful Eight the other night. One thing led to another, I listened to the soundtrack and then went back to Ennio Morricone and all I could think of doing was a western track. So... I did a western-y track. Horses! Gallops! Neeeigh! gunshots! Whipcracks! Crows! Stereotypes!
This is done as usual in FL studio, with samples from Slice and freesounds.org. My biggest disappointment is not finding a good "Yah" sample for cowboys pushing their horses. The mix is also pretty busy and not so clear. I am not too sure how to solve this, it may benefit from reducing the number of tracks and more time spent on EQ, maybe some compression here and there. The guitar is also a bit messy, this was a one take track on an acoustic, using an iphone for recording (it sounds better than with my microphone, that hurts my feeling). I doubled the bass with "Full brass - staccato" from Flex. It's ok and better than using a synthwave bass for this track but it kinda takes me back to the pirate tracks and then I ended up imagining pirates on horses. This is all very confusing.
I like the pianos from FLEX. This is the "Westworld" one, very appropriately named.
I'll swear I'll get to the skate punk track one of these days.
