![]() I hope you are too for whatever it is that makes your life good or great. So, on a personal note, thank you dad for a great present this Christmas. In the end though, I am extremely thankful of the kind gesture my father didn’t hesitate to put forward. ![]() I suppose it’s time for another customer service call in the AM. Getting it installed and setup is a different story.Īfter a lengthly install process, I cannot seem to figure out how to rout my preamp through Pro Tools 10. Not only do I have the ability to create music at my disposal again, I also have my hobby back, and in the end, that’s all it truly is. How sweet is that? I cannot thank him enough. The kind person in him immediately asked, “What can I do?” I told him how there was an incompatibility issue with Mac OS X and Pro Tools 9, and he immediately offered to purchase the upgrade for me as my Christmas present - as that was the only solution to my problem. First off, I have no desire to, and secondly, my software program Pro Tools 9 isn’t working anymore. Thanks for spending a few minutes to read tonight.Įarlier tonight, my father asked me why I wasn’t making music anymore. It should be a fun and educational process for me. I’m excited to finish these recordings so I can take it to be mixed by someone that knows what they’re doing. I did a poor job of this and it will have to be fixed by a professional mixing engineer. The last process I underwent was fading each individual track out to end the song. All in all though, the vocals didn’t undergo much processing other than the reverb. The lead vocal was arranged in conjunction with two auxiliary tracks, loaded up with various reverbs and delays. I also used various Waves compressors on the harmonies - in addition to D-Verb and Waves TrueVerb as reverb plug-ins. ![]() Each track also has a D3 Compressor/limiter as well, set appropriately. Every track is EQ’d by at least a EQ3 7-Band EQ. Lastly, I recorded lead vocals, vocal doubles, and three layers of harmonies through the AKG.Īs far as mixing goes, each song is it’s own. The signal was effected by tremolo and long delay before it hit the preamp.įor the last verse and fade out of the song, I played a mandolin, again through the Behringer set-up, but this time with the microphones in an x/y (criss-cross) configuration. I then played two layers of electric guitar with a Gibson Chet Atkins SST through a Vox AC30, miked again by the AKG. Next came the harmonica - also into the AKG. I recorded both of these through an AKG Perception 820 Tube microphone - my main vocal mic. Next, I recorded some shaker, panned to the right in the first measure of the second verse, followed by a tambourine panned hard left four measures later. This is routed through an M-Audio preamp, and then to Pro Tools for processing and editing. The song is played in the key of E and is in a 6/8 time signature.Īs with all of my recordings, I begin with recording an acoustic guitar through a dry track with two Behringer pencil condenser microphones set up in a straight stereo configuration. I wrote the song in a fairly short sitting, and it is nearly five minutes long. I figured my newest song, “Here for The Night.” was a good one to reference, as the edit view is pictured below. I’ve had a couple people ask me recently what steps I go through in recording a song.
