Still haven't done any vocals yet, but getting close. This song will most likely be the first I do, recorded it last week when the vocal melodies/lyrics came to my head. Looking into an iso shield and a pop filter, then heading up north to the cabin to get 'em done.
Nothing fancy here, a basic country-ish, almost folk-ish, soft rock-ish pop tune. Sounds very radio friendly when I hear the finished product with the vocals in my head.
Didn't plan on posting this until the vocals were done, but since it will still be a few weeks and I haven't posted anything in a while, I figured what the hell. I'd like to see if I'm making any progress with the kick and bass relationship, I used some compression on both trying to get them to work together well.
Basic structure- intro, verses, chorus, verses, chorus, bridge, solo (over verse progression) chorus, end.
Actually layered four rhythm guitars; two slightly different cleans panned hard left and hard right, and 50% left an acoustic, 50% right a 12-string acoustic. It's all capo'd on the first fret, but the 12-string was capo'd on the 3rd fret.
The 12-string also does the intro and outro melody and a few other small fills (the outro melody actually plays the chorus vocal melody, so it'll give you an idea on how the choruses will sound vocally) and there are electric fills throughout which might sound out of place without the vocal.
Anyway, just wondering how everything sounds, particularly the bass/kick. Or anything else that might stick out. Thanks!
