Tools I Used

GarageBand, electric guitar, my own voice.

Samples I Used

Shaker - GarageBand loop

Original Samples

Guitar tracks, vocals

Process

Recorded the guitar chords first (plugged my electric direct to my Mac). Then added a percussion (shaker) layer. Next, connected a $20 microphone and recorded my vocals. then tweaked the effects setting (lots of reverb, Flanger, Chorus).

Other Notes

I didn’t specifically plan to record a song. It started with my humming to the recorded guitar tracks. Then finding suitable lyrics from a yellowed copy of “Poems of Alfred, Lord Tennyson”.
