Midnight Obsession (Instrumental)

By alterationx10 on June 7, 2026 5:52 pm

Back to meat-space this week! I got some sweet new hi hats and a new ride (I didn't have a ride cymbal. so yay!), so I decided to get that on the track this week. Got the kick mic'ed and an overhead going through my 1073 preamp clone (73P from DIYRE). Same mic/pre-amp on my cheap acoustic bass, and cheap acoustic guitar.

I started on some lyrics, but didn't have time to get them recorded. Managed about 4 hours into this total, so I'm calling this week's track an "instrumental", and maybe I can add them for next week's track. I even goofed and had my monitors up by the time I was doing guitar, so you can hear that metronome keeping sweet, sweet time through most of it. Maybe I'll record some shaker sounds to try and mask it out over for next week as well. I also processed the stems through some outboard gear.

really like it, it's really together, mix is good, all the instruments are clear and the drums are really nice. Would love to hear it with the lyrics! Great track!

Thanks for the kind words! I was feeling up in the air about finishing this, but you motivated me to add the vocals and clean it up a bit! Just got the new version uploaded for this week!
