Brand New Nuthin'
By myfirstpunksong on February 6, 2022 8:38 pm
Recorded in 2 sessions. Friday night (K&MJ) and Sunday afternoon.
I would not like to comment on the quality of my output, but I can say is that I am loving the process that weekly beats has opened up for me. I have motivation to get in the 'studio', then I get sucked in and spend time playing and creating music and invariably love it. It's funny the feeling that can arise when working on a track. It's like nothing else matters.
What went well:
- Started working on this weeks track earlier in the week. Big plus, more time overall playing music. Had started recording a song on maybe Tuesday(?), and as I worked on it I realised I quite like some of it and would like to spend more time on it. So I pulled another old thing out that I'm less precious about and just ploughed ahead recording it. Look forward to going back to work on the first track.
To be improved:
- Vocals are rough as hell. Melodies definitely could've done with work. Perhaps send out early bounces and invite suggestions from friends in future. This was first take.
- Again, need to find a suitable time/place where I can comfortably belt them out and work on them. Maybe try working on melodies to bounces whilst out on the bike.
- Would've been nice to add more variation to the lead guitar part, at least at the very end.
Additional Notes:
It was really helpful having a bounce to listen to and think about melodies and lyrics. I had something very rough down on Friday and then listened through my phone on Saturday when I went out to do some shopping.
I have noticed that I love doing songs that just get heavier as they progress. Like a continual gradual crescendo. I've used it a few times, I just love listening to the sound get bigger and bigger.
