Man, I’m getting tired of this song too. I’m mostly obsessing over it, not because I love the song so much, but because I’m trying different things with Garageband and trying to see in my mind if I can make a professional sounding recording out of it. This is important to the back of my mind, the creative part. Whether to march forward or learn a new program. For this mix I’m testing Wire Tap as an exporter, as I haven’t been happy with Garageband’s “share” feature, as far as how the final mixdown sounds.

I’ve been messing with this song for a few days in Garageband. I put a beat in there and some loops. I cut 6 vocal tracks thinking I’d take the best of each one and mix it down and then at the last minute, or maybe I was just being lazy, I decided to see what it sounded like with all 6! It’s different, kind of 60’sish, but trying different things is fun, keeps the creative juices flowing.

Update: According to @Scobleizer this is all bunk, and Jason was lying. Sorry. I really believed him. To joke about a few features is one thing, but to drag on so many detailed tweets and to emphasize that he’s not joking is taking it too far. Why would you risk your credibility over something like this? Anyway, sorry folks for dragging you here.

A Song I Dug Up From the Archives, “I Know”

As I was laying on the couch watching the Jet’s Colt’s game, I decided to dig through this old laptop to see what kind of “Easter Eggs” I would fine. Well to my surprise I found this song I recorded 5 years ago that I had thought I’d lost forever. I made it on an old Boss-900, one of the first DAWS that didn’t even have a hard drive, it used these expensive Iomega Zip Drives that were expensive and would only hold about a song each. I got hundreds of these old zip drives around here with pieces of song ideas on them.
 

 

Anyway, I was happy I found this. I always liked the energy of the guitar. I remember at the time I was so influenced by Pete Townshend, and there’s where the relentless driving rhythm of the guitar came from. I played the bass and keyboards very rudimentarily, and then used the drum machine, which sounds cheap, but I always thought it was fun. I’m made I erased the original zip drive the song was on, so that I could listen to the individual instruments and see what I was playing, and maybe even drag the .wavs into Garageband and do something interesting.  The solo is sloppy and drags on way to long. That’s at least one thing I could do with it, if I had the original master, tighten that up. And there’s about a hundred too many “Whoa oh’s” at the end that drag out for about 2 minutes.

But, I’m happy I found the .mp3. It’s not that great, but I remember that I had fun making it, and that’s what counts the most. :-))))))
