So there not a lot on the internet about this (none that I can find)
After recording the Rythm, Harmonies and melodies I'm left with a nice song ready to mix. A few listens and I realize its bland and is lacking a certain something... I listened to a few different songs in the same pop/rock genre I'm going for and realized in almost all the songs there is a lot of extra background sounds. For example: UGH! by The 1975
Small guitar licks
An array of percussion instruments
Marimbas
Extra tom drum hits
Ambiant sounds
Synth sounds
ETC ETC! I could go on for hours haha
QUIESTION 1. Does anyone have any advice on where to start with these effects?
QUESTION 2. Is there a term for these background sounds? Would be helpful when googling ideas on what else to go into my song
