Samples I Used
I made my backing tracks in Reason, then exported them as audio to mix in Audition.
Original Samples
I cleaned the vocal track thoroughly and made a new vox-fx track from it.
I recorded some rhythm and lead guitar tracks after making 20 different backing tracks in Reason.
Process
Once I had a multitrack session set up in Audition, the challenge was to know what to throw out. I started with 23 tracks and threw out 6 or 8 of them.
Once I had built the background and the vocals I layed in some guitar tracks and finished the mixing and mastering in Audition.
Other Notes
The vocal track was way inspiring to me. I brought a little of it forward for a bit of an intro, but other than that I didn't chop it up..just processed it the way I like to process vocals.
That inspired the whole rest of the song for me. It was a total rush.
