Just some relaxing layers in Logic. Guitar Solo at some point to ruin it all.

Christmas

Some electric guitar and reason synths for school.

Reason Project

4-7 D Major MP3

I added an organ part to one of my favorite Mountain Goats songs. My biggest struggle so far has been fighting the tape hiss, but the hiss is fairly prominent in the original too, so I'm not sure there's much to be done.

Recorded into Reason with an Axiom 25 controller and an NN-19 sampler instrument. 

*Assignment#02: Dennis Brown w/ Organ

This is the final mix of my cover song assignment "She Said She Said" by Lennon/McCartney. The vocals are an AT2020 through an M-Audio Firewire 1314, guitar is a CAD M179 set in Omni. All percussion is MIDI. 


I wanted to try and do a mellower, poppier version of the song as the recording on The White Album is pretty hard rock for The Beatles. I also wanted to focus on vocal harmonies and tuning in this assignment, leading to pretty dense four part harmonies throughout most of the song. 

*Assignment#04: She Said She Said

For this assignment I received a vocal recording from Chad Spivey of the old jazz standard "Ain't We Got Fun" and was asked to arrange accompaniment for it without a click track to make it easy. I used a MIDI piano and upright bass, both controlled by my Axiom 25 controller. 


For this remix I worked on softening the piano parts to make them less aggressive, and using some reverbs to try and create a more spacey sounding recording.
