    Binging your channel. Super helpful - it disarms the creative process and injects fun into it. One thing I picked up from this video was your flow for doubling vocals. I had always done it in whole takes, but obviously (obvious now) that doesn't lead to a very closely matched doublr

    That was thoroughly enjoyable, glad you showed up in my feed!
    What you were doing here was so similar to what I used to do except I was doing it through first a 4 track analogue and then later an 8 track digital recorder and I didn't have a drum kit.
    You actually came up with a pretty good song here! I really like the way you mixed the low octave/high octave vocals on the chorus. I used to often double track my vocals but I don't think I ever did that little octave trick. Simple but very effective. Thank you for re-inspiring me.

    Can you make a song that sounds like Britney Spears, Toxic??? I remember reading somewhere... idk, that a lot of big time music producers refer to Toxic when mixing sounds. Idk how legit that is.. but you know, some cocky obnoxious bass, a funky guitar strum, poop like that.. (Britney's latest album, arguably her best, imo, tried to make a Toxic 2.0, called Do You Wanna Come Over, I know for sure you'd immediately pick up on the similarities). Anyway, love your channel, have been binge watching all your vids. You know what you're talking about. Which is refreshing A F.

    Im late to this video so dont expect a reply but this is just to anyone who makes music. Do you record guitar in full takes? I normally record an intro then a verse then chorus so on so on, but i often find that this way has very slight chops when the sections change:/ is it easier to just record stuff in one take?

    • @bananalabs
      @bananalabs  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey! If I’m doing rhythm guitar then I much prefer to do one full take. Then I would layer any leads over in sections. If it’s a difficult intro to play then I would most likely just do the intro separately so that’s it’s more cleaner. Whatever is more comfortable and efficient for the player! To each their own!
      The choppy east can can when you don’t play into the parts. Instead of starting and stoping in those sections, play a couple bars into it and out. Then in post production you can just fade those parts in and out so it’s more seamless!
