I just did FAWM ("February Album Writing Month") for the first time -- successfully wrote and recorded 14 demo songs in 28 days (whew!).
Here they are:
http://fawm.org/fawmers/brallan/I am posting here because I used PGMusic products heavily.
- Vocals and harmonies live (of course) with aid from a TC Helicon unit. Mostly Rode NT1.
- Most keyboards live (midi - SD2).
- Most acoustic guitars live.
- Some harmonica live.
- Rest is all BB/RB -- all RealDrums and many RealTracks.
- Production: Paper and pencil => BB for structure, chords, shots and holds, etc. => RB for live tracks, RealTracks, mixing and mastering => Audacity for conversion to MP3.
- Followed Ray Thigpen's great advice on mixing/mastering from this forum.
Appreciate all comments, advice, criticism... (I already believe there is generally too much production, processing, as in the film Amadeus, "too many notes." -- a learning experience.)
Thanks for listening,
