Uses samples from:

Samples are used in:

 

Tools I Used

GarageBand, Macbook Pro.

Yamaha Vester electric (EMG active pickups).

Samples I Used

GarageBand drum loops.

Original Samples

Rhythm guitars, Lead electric guitar, bass (software instrument).

Process

First I tried to figure out the chords that would fit panu's pell. Turned out to be E/A/B along those lines.

Recorded the rhythm guitar tracks. Then edited panu's vocals to fit the tempo and arrangement. Recorded the lead guitar part.

Exported the instrument/ track parts (e.g. vocals, rhythm, lead, drums) as AIF w/o reverb. Reimported to GarageBand and more fine-tuning of sound levels.

Added a bass to top off the song.

[Thanks to panu moon for the sound engineering advice! Hope this works out]

Other Notes

Had a fun-filled 3 days pretending to be a 80s rock band!
