After recording a song that had a pretty heavy feel to it, I took a short break and returned to record something a bit more pop.
If you missed the last song I posted you can hear it here.
One Finger Keyboard Playing
On this instrumental track, I did everything except play the drums. It's a drum machine, but I did program it. I spent about a week trying to make the drums sound more human.
I'm not much of a piano player, but I can pluck out a melody with one or two fingers just fine. The keyboard I used only had 22 keys on it which for all that was needed for this song.
I used Cubase 5 to record and mix it on and a program called Guitar Rig to plug a Fender Strat into. Guitar Rig can make your guitar sound like anything you want. It's really cool. Even the bass on this track is my guitar made to sound like a bass guitar.
I did all the basic tracks before playing the guitar melody. If anybody wants to write some lyrics go for it.
Let me know what you think. You can be honest. I can take it. I not one of those sensitive songwriters.
Should we call for the stage hook or would you like to hear more?
