How I Did It
by Admiral Bob
Uses samples from:
Tools I Used
Fender p-Bass, Yamaha organ, BOSS DR-880, Fender Telecaster
Samples I Used
snowflake's vocals and piano, spinningmerkaba's two acoustic parts.
Original Samples
I laid down a bass, drum part, organ, and two electric guitars.
Process
I started with the drum part, added the organ and put it through a long church reverb, then put down the bass and guitars.
Since the song had been powered up a little, I thought I'd try and take spinningmerkaba's acoustic lead, and turn it into an electric lead.
I put a phaser on it, compressor, a stereo delay, and a 2000 ms reverb. Then I EQed it with a Marshall amp profile. It doesn't quite sound like any electric I've heard, but to a non-guitarist's ears it might be passable.
After mixing it, I put it through a spectral analyzer and found it was already fairly balanced, so I didn't EQ it. I did, however put it through Sheppi, and tweaked the width and depth a bit. I then compressed it and limited it... carefully, so as not to kill the dynamics. It is still a little quiet, but like I said, the dynamics!
Other Notes
Turned out alright, I think?
