How I Did It
Tools I Used
Audacity/ Reason 2.5 /Tracktion 2/ Novation K-Station
Samples I Used
Ihooq a cappella vocals on site
Process
I loaded the vocals into Reason composed the Drums/Bass/Guitar and chord structure around them on Reason I always compose on Reason coz its so easy to use. Then sliced the vocal sample with Audacity to come up with a simple verse/chrous Middle eight structure. Rewired Reason to Tracktion recorded pads and trancy sounds with the K-Station and Kraki/chill VST. Mastered with Final Mix VST on Tracktion.
Other Notes
In a temp studio at the moment so not used to my monitors in a new space I think my Bass is to up- front otherwise I enjoyed creating the track.
