A GarageBand Track for the Recording Geeks

It’s been quite a while since I did a recording/music blog. But check this out. I’ve had this track setting on my Maxtor outboard drive for a few months. It’s a pop rock arrangement that was done to test my then-new microphone setup. Here are the techniques I used:

- Recorded two acoustic guitar tracks with XY close condensers. One pointed at the neck, the other at the bridge. One acoustic has a capo so it has that mandolin-ish sound.

- Recorded the drums on stereo track with four mics: XY overhead, inside kick, and close snare (AKG D88).

- Added software-generated keyboard pad.

- Added electric guitar and bass guitar tracks, direct to the mixer.

- Minimal compression on everything except the drums (hence the cymbals sound a little “dark”).

- A little reverb on the master track.

Tell me what you think after you have a listen.
