I’ve got a new remix featuring some very nice piano and vocals by Lisa DeBenedictis. This mix was kind of tricky and giving me fits as it was originally recorded in 6/8 time, and I had limited access to loops in that time signature. Since I really liked the original piano track, and wanted to use it, I was limited to working within that structure (or maybe 3/4 like a waltz shuffle thing, but still VERY limited source). I finally worked 4 MIDI tracks into a drum kit and used that as a bed to synch the piano and vocal track to. Once I had that, I had a pretty good “click” mix I could use to record the live guitar parts, as well as the synth tracks. The guitar tracks were recorded into a large diaphragm condenser, with the rhythm guitar in the middle and the 2 leads panned wide left and right. Played on my beater old Sigma Acoustic guitar. And I recorded a couple scat harmony vocal tracks. The synth tracks were played on my new toy, an M-Audio KeyRig 49, basically a cheap $99 MIDI controller I can plug right into Logic or Garageband and tap into their virtual synth library.
You can download the track here. Enjoy!
