A bit of fun really but, as it’s the first thing I’ve done from start to finish in Reaper, I thought I’d whack it here.
Started with a drum part, got stuck, added another drum part which turned out quite groovy, got stuck, widdled a bit, looped a bit of the widdling, got stuck, had a couple of pints, came back, went for an obvious key change with a swooshy string patch through a sweeping filter, got stuck, did a ridiculous guitar solo, added some organ, couldn’t think of any lyrics but wanted to get it finished (hence the lyrics – you’ll see what I mean.)
Apologies for the singing!
I used these bits and bobs:
- Reaper,
- Tascam US-144,
- Rode M3,
- Computer Music’s SR-202 & CM-505 drum thingies,
- Triangle II,
- Crystal,
- FA3 Amp,
- ORGANized,
- ReaEQ,
- Blockfish,
- Endorphin,
- Mexican Fender Telecaster (the love of my life!)
Recorded in a small studio flat with dreadful acoustics and even worse speaker positioning.
