Tools I Used

GarageBand '08.
Audacity for Mac.

Macbook Pro.

Samples I Used

Mostly from ccMixter.
The Guzheng, Erhu and asian drums are loops from GarageBand.

Process

Basically:
1) Used Audacity to change Gurdonark's samples.

2) Imported the converted tracks to GarageBand, and just let the muse loose.

Other Notes

Working with drone samples was pretty hard for me (maybe I'm in denial that I'm a drone, hahaha... sorry that was lame). Seriously though, the problem with drone/ atmospheric sounding samples was that they become more like background tracks in my mixes. I wanted to find a way to bring Gurdonark into the foreground too. This was the best I can do.
