New version of a song "The Chains"
Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2014 10:43 pmSome of you may remember this one - Firebird did the lyrics, then said I could use them and I did a demo acoustic version but I got stuck on it.
Turns out what I needed to do was change the key! I had it capo-ed on 4 (that's what sounded right when I was doing the chording) but lowered it to cap on 2 and viola!
Top song on my BM player. Two hours to track, and hour to mix.

I did 2 acoustic rhythm tracks, panned one hard left and one hard right; did 2 lead guitar tracks, used one for the body of the song, and the other for the ending; did 2 bass tracks, muted the first, used the 2nd; 2 piano tracks, muted the first, used the 2nd; 2 lead vocal tracks, used the 2nd, automated the first for occasional accent phrases; 2 backup vocal tracks; 2 string tracks, muted the first, used the 2nd.
