Macbook Pro.

Samples I Used

All from WillemWillem's.

Original Samples

An additional bass part, for the bridge section.

Process

Converted the MP3 files to AIFF using Audacity (might have added compression in the process).

WillemWillem's original arrangement was largely intact. I only moved some stems to pan more, and also moved the acoustic guitar part as the intro.

Recorded my lead guitar straight into GarageBand (via the KB37 audio interface). Then spent the rest of the time tweaking the sound levels.
