This week I wanted to flesh out the track that we had written and structured. The first thing I attempted to do was record fresh drums rather than the drums I recorded on my phone during our jamming session. However, the result of these new drums was just too clean and lacked the charm of the drums I originally recorded on my phone. Due to this, I kept the badly recorded drums with some modifications. I used EQ to get rid of most of the kick and snare frequencies and replaced them with kick and snare samples. This made the drums hit harder and gave the impression of them being higher quality while still retaining their lofi charm. After this, I went about recording a layer of bass throughout the entire song as well as other bits of percussion and synths.
I modified Matthew's midi slightly to give it more variation. This just included minor things like changing the octave of some parts in different sections.
