[@AudioPortalAudiobooks]

​@@ChrisCronMusicCan you add the backing track too the end as well?

[@justsomestuffn]

You're like a wizard, man. Damn impressive!

[@ChrisCronMusic]

Ah thanks!!

Five stars! Excellent recording job, Chris! What you have done is a kind of "reverse recording" from the way most people do it today. Instead of creating mountains of tracks and layer upon layer of plug-ins and unnecessary digital BS, you have done a great job stripping things down to the bare essentials. This is exactly how the Beach Boys did it in 1962. We need musicians to start getting back to this kind of Totally Basic Recording! The MUSIC comes first, not the technology! . You just need some basic instruments gathered together in a small recording space, some guys and/or girls (or one guy like you) playing them really well, and combine that with excellent harmonized vocals. Some very simple EQ, compression, reverb, etc. and that's all you need to make fantastic records. Just ask the Beatles, and Elvis, and thousands of the greatest musicians of that "primitive" era of tape recording, who did it exactly the same way.

[@spidgeb3292]

Yes. It is a simple song. So simple, it was already written when the Beach Boys "created" it. It's "Sweet Little 16." By Chuck Berry.

While we're on the Subject of recording Beach Boys tracks, here's another of mine, sadly I haven't recorded the music, that's the OG instrumental. But I did all the Vocals, I added a Beach Boys vid for context. (Incidentally,, I use the Adam A7x's too. Great monitors)

My bank, my spouse, and my Plugins Anonymous sponsor would all LIKE A WORD WITH YOU

[@ChrisCronMusic]

[@Axel_Andersen]

For some reason the voice sync was off for most of the videos especially towards the end. Very annoying to watch. Maybe just me but yeah...
