Dr. Ellwood Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Inspired by the excellent CHUNK Y/T post on the Flying Burrito Bros, Six Days on the Road... We are going to do that tune! Where can I find BIG DIESEL TRUCK sounds to record and have the soundman start off the tune for us!!! We will start and end the song with those at BIG VOLUME!!!....is there anywhere,short of recording at a truck stop? to get these kinds of random tracks?? I think we need some Tire sounds, sirens, gear shifting RPM's etc. I pulled out of Pittsburgh rolling down the Eastern seaboard I've got my diesel wound up and she's running like never before There's a speed zone ahead on right and I ain't see a cop all night Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight I got a ten forward gears and a Georgia overdrive I take little white pills and my eyes are open wide I just passed a "Gimmy" and a "White" I've been smokin' everything in sight Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight Well it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye And I can have a lot of women but I'm not like some other guys I can find one to hold me tight But I could never make believe it's alright Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight Now the ICC's been a-checkin' on down the line I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind Nothing bothers me tonight I can dodge all them scales all right Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight Well my rig's a little low, but that don't mean she's slow got the stacks blowin' fire and the smoke's blowing black as coal My hometown's coming in sight If you think I'm happy, you're right Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Ferrington III. Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 There's a bunch of stuff on google http://www.google.com/search?q=diesel+truck+.wav&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&ie=utf8&oe=utf8 This one's not a bad truck http://www.grsites.com/exec/public/soundview.cgi?dir=trucks&fn=trucks038.wav&desc=Truck,%20hydraulic%20start I get the feeling that with some of 'em, you'd have to do a bit of tweaking. But they're not bad for starters. Band MySpace My snazzy t-shirt empire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Ellwood Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Hay thanks VINCE!! I'm going to start downloading some of this and let the soundman listen to them and if he has to edit some together to get longer segmants....he can do it...!! http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Ellwood Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Yeah, I think we can make this into a little production number, I'm thinking of some headlights behind us with blinking turn signals flashing below them! I've got a siren somewhere around here we used to use for some KISS things we used to do... This would be a great one for a auto show gig!! too. http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
