Lyrics
Well, your folk rocks
Pristine
Just over the channel
Brightoned two sheen

Salt Fire looped by the hour
Teachers of tuned tone harmonious flower
Guitars for me cornered still
Their voicings will tend to your will
New musical pathways the pill
Everytime, ears getting that fill

Salt Fire go hear their higher
Salt Fire Lo-fi classical attire
Salt Fire Go hear their higher
Acoustic crumbs of grandeur
Harmonies. The biggest aliens have landed...

So come, let's all fly away in a song
We do it cause we are it
This is where we belong
Good tempered bones
Some tension tones
Utopian homes
Fly away in Salt Fire song
Good bye dystopian drones
We're aligned 
Our staves are long

This song is about the artist Salt Fire across the pond in Brighton. Superb music worth a permanent rabbit hole & I think worth more ears...

Ok so track filled. Added Celtic Harp, Classical Guitar and strings via Keyboard 

Theres a nice point here. So I used the phone recording, imported to the daw and it became the base and click track for the song. It's a nice way of locking in your human time but still filling over it and getting a full tune with more instrumentation. For those ideas your not at the studio and plugged up... 

Android I end up with an m4a - convert to wav for free online (usually fixes bitrate issues) - import to daw audio track - turn off tempo and click track - Your jam just became the click track. Playing to this only then allows you to lock into your feel again as opposed to recreating the whole thing to a click track from scratch...



On the human time... I was chatting with my best friend Anto the other day. He's a fabulous photographer. He shoots only film and uses an eye piece view finder still. He says it feels more instinctual to him. I feel similarly recording things on the spot in random places... You're playing to your instincts which can be spiritually way more creative I think then sitting down and doing it by sums. Both have their merits but starting more regularly in the former more natural way may offer more instinctual goodies. The method part of the process can always iron out and perfect the unusual things you find instinctually in hindsight when further along the process and it's all getting stitched.


To give the phone recording sufficient presence I add reverb 80%20%/compressor for acoustic guitar/EQed for Vocal/Light Stereo Spread for LF & HF. Then I double tracked it each panned slightly either side. The difference is actually a pretty cool example of cleaning something up for use. Recording wasn't changed aside from the dynamics
