See the Spin page for the new scratch track uploaded. Dave says everyone hates the tune so far, but we like it. We have more work to do of course and I can’t wait to get in the studio to clean up the guitar work and add a good bass track.
This scratch track was lightly mastered to bring up levels and deal with some EQ issues.
So I’m off to be on the road for a month and this is the schedule for Pop Jerry.
Dave will be working on the bed tracking for Spin, which is clocking in over 6 minutes long. Dave has the Garageband project file Don, and when he is finished with his beds you can download what he has finished as he will be re-loading the project to the server for you and I to work on next month.
The Spin project file so far has a drum loop, and very strong acoustic track (timing, feel, tone), and a scratch vocal. Furthermore, I’ve added some comments throughout of which chords we’re using and when the changes happen. I will load this scratch on to the the Spin project post while on the road. Be interesting to see all of the different stages of the song.
Dave is picking up my keyboard so he can work with drums, keyboards, vocals, arranging, etc. When I get back I’ll add all the acoustic guitars, electric guitars, bass guitar and vocals.
I will record my vocals on Spin in the RV. Dave and I discovered that we can simply sing into the Mac using it’s built-in microphone. It’s really bizarre, but it works quite well. What a world of technology – never thought I would be recording this way.
Video For Mary Makes a Radio will be finished on my Mac while I’m on the road as well. I will load the video to Youtube and the newest master of Mary from my T-Mobile Hotspot account. I’ll do this while I’m having coffee at StarBucks or reading in one of the bookstores down in the States. (anywhere there are T-Mobile hotspots)
Talk to ya from the States gang.
