Sometimes old people, like me, feel like teenagers again, when they lived fast, with plenty of energy and wanting to rule the world. This is my case today, I remember when I was a hardcore-punk teenager and the fast music made me find myself. This is the first time that I'll record a song with a real drumkit and a real guitar amp.
Thoughts: I like when I'm making music singing something and the chords just follow that perfectly, then I change a chord and everything changes, it creates a new magic. This is an example of some chords that makes this song very special. It reminds me some of my favorite bands when I was young: Limp, Undeclinable Ambuscade, Craig's Brother & Adhesive. All my influences blended to make this song, and from the beginning I knew that I wanted a doubled voice and which timbre it should be to sound like Limp.
I did it very well. I recorded with my big drumkit and just 3 mics, I can't plug more right no, that's the next step. The bass was recorded throught the interface, I'd love to have a real bass amp to record this but it's ok, good enough this way. I recorded the guitars with one SM57 in one of the speakers, and I changed the sound from Left guitar to Right one so it would seem like there are two different guitarists playing. The mixing was cool, I was very focus and I did everything quite fast without wasting time in anything else. I used the effects quite good, maybe I miss some compression on the backing vocals, and there's a tiny bit too much reverb in the voices. My room has a lot of natural awful reverb already that the mic captures. And I don't sing very well some backing vocals. I feel how the energy is missing there.
Anyway, the result is very cool, I'm very happy with this song, it's like a reward of all the work that I've done in this year.
Enjoy it!
