Scrutiny (WB39)
By spry on October 2, 2022 8:44 pm
Put this one together as a bit of automatic song writing. I tried not to think too much and just go with whatever my first instinct was. Turned out that was a lot of guitars and some vocals with some weird lyrics!
Wrote the guitar riff first on the acoustic but recorded first with the electric. I put down a couple dummy drum tracks in Ableton then took two takes of both electric and acoustic. I chopped and stacked and panned them against one another. Chopped out any sloppy bits and copy pastaed over it. Solidified drum part next then recorded bass in a single take! Recorded main vox in a single take and background vox in one more! Compressors, eq, reverb, delay, limiters, saturator and more limiters! Total work time about 4 and a half hours on a Sunday afternoon!
Lyrics:
Be one or the other
Be a friend or a bother
What difference can we alter?
Choose if you get the chance
And over again
Be sincere or pretend
Hit delete or press send
Choose if you get the chance
