One Song at a Time

Post by SpencerMartin » Sun Nov 29, 2015 3:49 pm

It's been a long while, but the current goal for my personal music is to focus on recording and releasing one song at a time. I just finished the 3rd track of the series - here it is for your listening pleasure!

One Song at a Time, Track 3

The production quality on this is amazing. The harmonies are really nice. The transition at about 30 seconds in is abrupt and not natural sounding to me... at first I thought it had jumped to the next song. Overall it's really well done. A high level of craftsmanship.

Thank you so much! Yeah, that first transition is definitely super abrupt. I'm a sucker for those small-sounding intros that trick you into turning your volume up.

My approach for harmonies is to write out the ideas first with a basic VST instrument so that I can experiment with the parts' individual movements while still hearing them all at the same time in context. After testing out a few different revisions I'll commit to one thing and move on to actually singing/recording the parts.
