Chubby Disgrace
By myfirstpunksong on February 27, 2022 6:10 pm
Recently got a bit obsessed with Chubby and the Gang and wanted to do something fast with a pinch of Chubby's rough aggression. Lead guitar line and bass by friend Rupret.
Done in 3 sessions. 1. Recording rhythm guitars 2. Tweaking guitar sounds and some chops 3. Recording vocals and some chops.
What went well:
- First draft down early in the week.
- Again, having a bounce to listen back to on my phone to think about what to do next, other ideas etc.
- I didn't get obsessive with this one, its been moving week.
- I spent a session just creating a couple custom guitar sounds. Any feedback on those welcome.
Even better if:
- I would've taken a bit more time overall. I'm learning the limited time is part of the nature of the beast with weekly beats, however, I still think I could've carved out a little more. A couple more sessions maybe where I just sit down to work on the track, even if only for a short amount of time (which usually then turns into longer).
- I had more of the overall idea with structure and vocals sorted before sending over to a friend. He sent me back a couple lead lines, but then when I recorded vocals, the lead lines just didn't really work so I cut them.
Additional notes:
I'll leave Berlin for a few weeks now, but this WB project has been good for me to think about a space where I can record vocals. This is something to consider about my future living space, or renting a separate space to do this.
