So since I’ve got this swish new site, I kinda need content… so, I’m going to spend the next ninety minutes making a song from scratch, I have no preconceived notions; I’m just going to open up cubase and go from there… I’m counting 90mins from when I start work, to when I click upload on bandcamp, since uploads take ages…
I’m going to try and hit some benchmarks:
1. must be longer than two minutes
2. should include an instrument\sound that I haven’t used before
3. must include some for of vocals. eek.
14:20 Here we go!
14:30 got a decent drum track laid down
14:45 alright, sweet bass synth crosses off the new sound goal
now lets lay some sweet guitars in!
Oh god my acoustic is so ridiculously out of tune…
14:57 acoustics, done, time for electric double track!
15:04 well that didn’t take long…
15:10 after a quick phone call from mum, I recorded an Ah! that’ll do for vocals for now…
15:22 goddamit this piano melody sounds terrible
15:25 screw it, chords’ll do, right, lets mix…
15:41 turns out I can’t mix very well…
15:48 Holy Crap, just skated in at the end there!
And here’s the final product!
