Falling - Vocal Test



This was an exercise to practice placing vocals in a mix. I used GB vocal loops for the vocals on top of a home grown backing track I recorded this afternoon.

Recorded using GarageBand and....
  • '04 Epiphone Casino
  • '06 Rickenbacker 340
  • '08 Fender Jaguar bass
  • Kawai keyboard with voicings facilitated by GB
  • Voices facilitated by GB, chopped and thrown against the wall like so much spaghetti
  • Drums programmed & played through GB's Musical Typing
