Girl I Knew

Post by Vincent »

This is just a real basic and simple song.

This song is written for vocals however I dont have the gear to record vocals yet...this song will be redone later on when I get a better puter with a better sound card.

The mix is kind of muddy...lead isnt clear enough...I used some new drum loops i got for next to nothing.

Bass line was played on an electric guitar and not a bass...doesnt really sound like a bass but I tried...i need to get a bass guitar as well...I need so much gear however I have no money...lol.

Song is in the snow capped mountain moonlight album...click on view tracks in green.

Wow, considering all you mentioned that is supposed to be missing or off, I would say this sounds pretty awesome! Clean and clear, I would like to hear the "with vocals" version when you are done.
Don't forget to post it here when it's ready.

Thanks for saying you liked it.

Rhythm Guitar kind of pops out of the mix at around 1:53 which bugs me a bit...i dont have a compressor or EQ pedals when recording guitar and I think they would help with not having parts pop out like that...something else I have to get...list of gear never ends.

I added compression after the fact however I couldnt get that spot to not pop out.

You can cure that with the acoustica compressor and eq, or have a look at our plugins forum here http://demon.acoustica.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=2104

Or a bass player. :P
Yep, George Harrison vibe for sure. Live drums?
