As some people might know (mostly close friends and family), last year, I wrote a song. I wrote it for my (then) girlfriend, initially on acoustic guitar and I planned to only play it a couple of times for her and keep it a private thing. After some time, I decided to make a non-acoustic version and recorded different instruments using my computer. The only problem was that I didn't have a good microphone to record the vocals and the drums were very flat, since I punched them in using a keyboard. But nevertheless, I distributed amongst some friends and family. As a birthday present from my Russian family, I got a session in a professional recording studio in Russia to record the vocals. Back home I mixed those in and the thing got better. Since I really wanted the thing to be sort of complete, I bought an electronic drum kit and recorded the drums as well. Just before christmas, my girlfriend broke up with me and my song was put on a shelf. I didn't listen to it for some time, but a couple of weeks ago, I played it again and I figured that I should do something with it. Today I decided to just put it in the wild for everybody to hear. The song is released under Creative Commons License.
Listen to it and let me know what you think. You can download it here.
This actually sounds nice quite nice! What application(s) did you use, and is the “source” available ?
I mainly used Ableton Live and some VSP plugins to do the guitar effects and drums. Since the source is pretty big I’m not going to upload, but if you want to use parts, let me know.
… And all of a sudden this free spirit decides to write/sign/drum/play his own song; moreover he does a very good job!! I’m VERY surprised! Go on, and post more! We want an album!
