Process

I kept Chris Horne's stems on my computer, just waiting for an appropriate stem to remix. Found PhilTheNil's excellent acoustic guitar stem, and decided to give it a go.

Chris' vocals were sung in a different key at parts. I relied on GarageBand's auto tuning feature (which is why some parts of Chris' vocals sounded a bit sampled), and the rest of the vocals that couldn't be automatically tuned, I edited it manually.

For the part where the tempo slowed down, I used Audacity to change the guitar stem tempo and manually spliced and moved Chris' vocals.

Spent a few separate occasions just listening to the mix, tweaking it here and there, checking and readjusting track alignments. And then it's done.

Other Notes

This track calms me down. Just the intended effect I wanted to achieve.
