A Walk at the Park

By Pescadito on January 21, 2024 11:24 pm

Happy to share this song which includes some ambience recordings form this week.

I started with some chords on my classical guitar to then switched to my telecaster. Then added bass, drums, precussions, kalimba and a solo. Drums and percussions are from Garageband, while I recorded guitar, bass and kalimba.

This is my first song made on GarageBand but I did not have time to mix and master. To be honest I have no idea how to do it, and when I started googling it and adding the plugins it was already super late and I was too tired to do it. Sorry for that, I hope I will not sound too horrible on your devices! Any advice for that will be super welcome.

I wanted to capture a walk in a park I had the other day. Snow and sun, birds and people walking. It was a very start of the day!

Nice one! Sounds very cool when the guitar and bass comes in! That kalimba sounds lovely! Nice drop midway! Cool guitar solo! On second listen very nice basslines too! I think the mix is great. Feels busy in the low end but I think that's because of the busy bass line.

It would be nice to have better quality on the ambient walk recording in the start. The birds near the end sound nice tho. I guess it probably comes down to what the microphone can do, cause as far as I know the iphone compresses sound in a specific way when it's too loud.

Thanks for sharing! excited to talk more about it later big_smile

Kalimba adds so much! Nicely done

great tune! love the guitars, claps and arrangement

This simple walk in the park suddenly got very funky

Love the guitar work and the kalimba is niiice. I really liked the ambient sounds around 1:40, maybe birds flapping their wings? Super chill and groovy tune.

Vibin'. Nice job.
