first I must say this board and it’s wonderful members have been a welcomed distraction during this bad movie we’re all living in...I hope everyone stays safe until this passes.
the down time has given me opportunity to record and refine some of my music. I need to keep things simple, so I’m using GarageBand on my iPhone, recording directly into the phone mic, and overdubbing the same way. interestingly enough I’ve found that my 15 year old Yamaha beater gives me the sound I’m seeking...my d50 records itself sounding too much like a well balanced, fully opened guitar. the Yamaha gives me more of that early Beatles acoustic sound. I’ve been duplicating the first track, dialing down its presence and adding a bit of delay or reverb, making for a very clear, but full or fat track. mind you I’m a novice and really don’t know what the hell im doing, just experimenting and killing time. I then take the finished tracks, Dropbox them off to my son in Chicago (I’m near Boston) and he adds the bass, percussion, and any other guitars he deems fit, and does the final mix in Protools.
please share your recording efforts during this time of isolation. best wishes to all. once I get some final songs back I’ll share.
