Rowboat

so yesterday i decided i was going to finally put to good use the 4-track di got me for christmas, that until now i had only had time to do some vocal tests which were basically just me singing classic rock songs over poorly played guitar. i decided that the first thing i would record would be myself covering "love athena" by the olivia tremor control, mostly because it was simple enough for me to figure out and write down the timing for in my notebook. so a lo-fi recording is what resulted and can be found here. i used all four tracks, track one i played the main chords cleanly out of a shitty practice amp which was then mic'ed with a shure sm58 mic that was lent to me. tracks three and four i recorded in stereo the background guitar parts distorted and on a delay. track four was the vocals which i added last. upon playback it was obvious that the guitar part on track 3 and 4 was much too loud, so i decided to erase it and rerecord it, however, since it was so loud it bled onto the other tracks, so when i erased it it was still there in the form that i decided sounded exactly how i wanted it too.

anyway, check it out, i'm pretty proud of myself for how it turned out even though its kinda bad

peace
