This was an experiment I did last weekend.  Jon Mellen and I modified the lyrics and music to one of his tunes, just coming up with a verse and a chorus.  We then recorded it over a piano and a click.

I then used Logic 8 and an assortment of plugins and virtual instruments to test a full production.  Turned out ok, considering it’s the first time doing this on the Mac and with Logic.

I did get to use some cool tools while doing this, including:

  • Softube’s Amp Room (on rhythm guitars) and Acoustic Feedback (on the lead guitar)
  • Steinberg’s Virtual Guitarist 2 (acoustic guitars)

If we were going to finish this, we’d obviously write a couple of more verses, but you get the idea.  Repetitive, but hey, it was a test project.

A songwriting demo I recorded with Jon Mellen – he also works at eBags.com with me. I wrote the song, he sung the vocals. Everything else I did with samples and virtual instruments. The lyrics for this were orginally written in the early nineties.
