This week, I wanted to finish off our third track. Luckily, I used the opportunity of Matthew coming over my house to record some parts for this track. We recorded a few takes of him playing guitar over the track simply improvising a solo. This way I could go back and find the parts I liked. Through doing this I found some melodies that could be used for the chorus and verses. I took these parts and looped them.
In the previous week I also recorded Matthew singing over the track. I wanted to incorporate more music technology in this track so I made use of autotune. I didn’t use the pitch correction but instead, an effect that adds a replica of Matthews voice pitched up an octave. I layered this with his original recording to give a unique but distinctive effect on the track.
After adding this section, the track was effectively finished instrumentally. It was just lacking Xabi’s vocals. So, I sent it off to him so he could add his layer on top.
