Hey, I've always wanted to do this but never got around to it. I think Steenamaroo did something similar recently.
I'm going to post a song as I write and record it, from the scratch tracks on. Just thought it might be cool to document the progression of how I record my tunes usually. It will actually be a new experience for me because I never save anything, in the sense that the latest version of any song I have is the only version I have. I burn bridges when I cross them. So, I've never been able to go back and listen to the early tracks of any tune I've finished.
I don't expect people to follow this all the way through. It's more for my own fun and whoever wants to come along, that's cool. I'll bump this thread whenever I add something to the song.
OK, so here's the first track to the tune. I always start with the bass (or a guitar scratch track) playing to a drum machine. I actually do my drums last or second to last, before the vocals, but often drums are the last thing I do. Strange but true.
For now, this tune is called "1a" (keeps the folder at the top of the list).
I'll name tracks according to the last thing I added.
So far today, I've done a bass track and the rythm guitar tracks.
NOTE: The guitars are going through a sim right now. I'm going to re-amp the guitars at a later time. So, I just dialed up quick distorted pre-sets to record for now. The guitars will have a little more variety and lot more thought put into their sound when I re-amp.
EDIT: As long as I can still edit the first post in this thread, I'm going to just put the MP3's here in order, while I can.
Here are the tracks as I upload them.:
