How I Did It
Tools I Used
GarageBand.
Audacity.
Macbook Pro.
Epiphone Les Paul Standard (factory pickups).
Line6 KB37 Toneport.
Line6 Podfarm.
Samples I Used
Other than the lead guitars, everything else you hear were spliced from ccMixter stems.
Original Samples
Lead guitars (electric and clean/ tremolo).
Process
Used Audacity to convert the MP3s to AIFFs. Compressed some of the stems. Also reversed some guitar parts (that became the swelling distortion you hear at the start).
Added a chorus/ break of sorts, by cutting admiralbob's original bass/ rhythm guitar arrangement. I applied the 'reverse' effect to admiralbob's guitar stems, just for fun. Discovered that some parts sounded coherent. Chopped them up a bit and was happy with a fairly decent sounding chorus part.
Recorded my leads. Actually I didn't play the lead till the end. I recorded about 2/3 worth of the full track and ran out of melodic ideas. Decided to chop up my original lead recording and spliced them to make a whole. Inevitably, there's no main melodic motif.
Other Notes
Simply love the fat sounding rhythm power chords from admiralbob!
