Here’s a sneak peek of a new song I’m working on. It’s just a simple intro riff, but I love the ambience of it. Looks like my Christmas break is going to be filled with recording =D. I’m planning on pickup up Logic Pro from Guitar Center tomorrow.
It was recorded with my Firebird studio through my Orange AD-30R amp–miked with a SM-57 on axis, center cone. You can obviously tell that it’s compressed–a downer for some of you tone snobs out there, but I love the warmth that the Keeley adds to my bird.
At the brilliant suggestion of d10, I went and downloaded 1pixelout’s magnificent audio player and set up a music page for myself. Check out the link in the nav bar or simply point your browser to http://www.anxaw.net/music to go check out all my stuff.
Recording is crazy addictive, so I will probably update that page pretty frequently =). With this update comes a new track: Who We Are. Check it out!
Garage band was probably the coolest 70 bucks I ever spent. In addition to the little Valentines ditty I recorded, I have been playing around with it a little bit and here are the results:
I’m thinking of putting up a music section of my site pretty soon. Well, as soon as I can figure out how to get a cool little flash based player so that you people don’t have to go through the pain of downloading each song or listening to it in the browser.
Anywho, heres to jazz/latin weirdness. Parts of it are a little out of time. Spot fixing the little mistakes I made in the first take are nearly impossibly in garage band–something I envy ProTools for–but I think its good enough for just a couple of takes =D.
My recordings should get better as I learn how to make GB do what I want.
[EDIT: I added the flash player that D10 suggested to this post, so it's a bit contradictory =P]
