Stand Still Update (3/13/18)

Mar 13, 2019

Due to me being sick and having no voice, I've been working on recording the tracks for different songs. The not being able to sing is hurting the process, but I am getting good work done.

Yesterday I primarily worked on Shoulder Talk. I finally decided my guitar situation, deciding on only normal acoustic (no elec/acoustic). Then I recorded two separate takes, and panned one all the way to the left, and the other all the way to the right. Its made it sound a lot fuller, and definitely fixed the sound issue I had.

The Bass line was the next thing I ironed out. I was tired of the bass line only being the 1st note of the chord. Its a basic type of bass, which I still utilise in the song, but I didn't want it the whole time. In a weird epiphany, I decided to try part of a baseline I used in an older song of mine. It worked surprisingly well. Adding a lot of grace notes helped make the baseline groovier and give it some movement. I recorded all of the bass parts.

The electric guitar solo, is something that needed to be on the track. Finding where to start it, and the sound I wanted, was a struggle, but after an hour of playing around, I found something I like.

Update later this week
