This week I worked further on the track. I recorded drums over the guitar loop using my home recording equipment. I experimented with some different microphone techniques as I was limited to two mics but eventually found a placement I liked. In addition, I used bedding and blankets as sound proofing to reduce echo and reverb in my room.
I wanted to make use of some music technology in the track so I made a synth patch in Omnisphere. I modified a clavinet patch by adding some distortion and Wah, making it sound like a guitar to a listener. Using this patch, I played the chords that I came up with in the previous week. After this I recorded bass and mixed this first section.
When I was considering what should come next, I remembered the riff that me and Matthew had previously come up with and realised that it would fit in perfect after the intro. I wanted to create a demo version of this section so that Matthew would understand what he needed to record. So, I recorded the drums and then layered on his guitar part and a temporary solo using synths. After that I sent the track off to him to record his final parts.
