This is my second recording using Ableton Live 8 Lite which came free with the Fender Mustang amp.
It has a very different feel and a different production method from my first attempt.
There is still a bit of cut & paste going on but much less this time. This is basically two audio tracks mixed down into one with no MIDI tracks at all. I’ve just used the software to record a rhythm guitar track and doodled along to it on a second track.
There is a little cut and paste in so far as the rhythm track comprises a 1.20 minute loop repeated four times. I also recorded the lead guitar track three times and took the best bits from each take as far as practically possible. Sometimes you could hear the join and it just wasn’t going to work.
This is an idea and chord sequence that I first came up with years ago but only ever committed to a long-lost analogue audio-cassette. I hope you can forgive the length. It is meant to drift and meander so I didn’t edit it down in length. It does falter and stumble a little between about the 1.30 minute to the 2.30 minute mark but I think that adds power to the second half and I’m not clever enough to edit that bit out without breaking the whole.
More practice on the guitar and with the software is the only way my output is going to improve. I hope you enjoy this for what it is non-the-less.
