Samples are used in:

 

Tools I Used

GarageBand '08.
Line6 PodFarm.
Audacity for Mac.

Macbook Pro.
Fender Stratocaster.
Lin6 KB37 Audio interface.

Samples I Used

Garageband drum loops.
Vocal sample, and lead guitar sample from ccMixter.

Original Samples

Bass track.
Clean & Rhythm guitars.

Process

I recorded the rhythm guitars first. Then found libraryowl's pell, which sounded like a fit. Cut her pell to size in GarageBand.

Instead of recording my own lead guitar, I decided to see if there were suitable guitar samples in ccMixter. I looked at urmymuse's uploads (since I was more familiar with his submissions). Found something sounded suitable. Converted it to my track's tempo. Aligned the tracks a little, made some EQ adjustments.
