I just can't seem to break away from the digitakt 2 lately!
All guitar sounds are from the laney supergrace pedal aka the smashing pumpkins pedal.
I did a mix of direct out with onboard reverb and through my board. Really digging it.
The biggest thing I've learned from making music is the best sound design happens in the mix.
Guitar tone that sounds fantastic on its own, does not translate to how it sounds in the mix.
Being able to tweak sounds where they will live yields the best results.
As far as song structure, it felt like enough sections with enough variation to keep it interesting.
I'm always tempted to take a song like this and force traditional song structure upon it.
Why? I don't know. Maybe I feel like following some kind of rule will take it to it's fullest potential.
The same false logic that is behind spending more time will make it better.
I will resist again and let it live as it was created, under the constraints it was created.
That is be beauty of weekly beats.
