MAKING OF "THE ISLAND" II: OVERDUBS
This is an update on "The Island", my future song collection [album]!
I still haven't recorded the two song I keep talking about all the time, but... I finally made myself do the overdubs! So, these days, I've already started adding background vocals, more guitars and getting rid of the background noise.
By far, I am satisfied with what I have done - the overdubs on "It's Alright" and "Take Me Home".
Just click on the songtitles and have a listen.
I've been thinking a lot about which songs need overdubs and during the next several days I will be adding some to "You Have a Friend", "Calm Down" and mainly to "Try", which is probably one of my most favourite songs from the album.
Some songs don't need any overdubs, imo, so I will only get rid of the background noise they have and leave them un-touched: "I'll Stay Alive", "Happy People" and the songs I recorded recently "I'll Be There", "Dark Too Soon", "We're Fine Now". Well, "Dark Too Soon" might need some little background vocal to highlight some parts. "Long Time Ago"... That song is a hard choice, I'm still not sure, if it needs anything to be added. I was thinking maybe doing some very soft bv's, but I'd like to keep it simple and nice.
So that's all for now, friends or anyone who's come around to see what's new. Recording the two final songs for The Island, "Drifted Of Daydreaming" and "Angel" are still on my must-record-asap list.
Keep in touch and enjoy the summer!
Thank you!
Marek.
