Hey there, everybody!
I featured this a little in my Carmageddon music video right at the start, but here again is my finished workings of my song in my DAW (see screengrab attached). I like to share some of my behind the scenes so others can be educated on some of the process that is involved in getting my sound. If you want to know specific gear and software I use, check out my music page on my website. It lists some of the stuff that I use up there.
Overall I am really happy how my song and video came out. I edit my in-game recordings in Premiere Pro, I find it good for what I need to do. I am pretty old skool and am one of those people that still use a desktop computer. Also I will say my music that I make in Cubase13 is pretty simple, I only use around 4 to 6 tracks and keep it pretty simple.
My guitars and vocals are recorded in one take too, I find that if you have different takes that you record with, your pick attacks and vocal range maybe a little different and your finished mix won’t sound consistent and the same. Just my experience anyway. So yes I’m not into comping stuff as I want everything to have a natural flow to it. I also use a drum track rather than a click-metronome track to record against. I find it easier to help flesh out my riffs.
Anyway I hope this is helpful. I’m not an educator by any means and people will have their own ways of doing things. In the end you do you boo, and always remember to have fun! I make music primarily for myself and for my own enjoyment, if anybody else likes it then that is a bonus. Have a great tail end of your week everybody and all the best, ta, Alisha.
