Instead of hacking her song to death, I focused on coming up with a mix that I myself enjoy listening to. Added some minor synth work here and there. Used multple vocal tracks for delay effect along with volume envelops for delay mix control. Works better then mindlessly slapping delay on a track and having to live with a set Wet/Dry mix ratio. Another stupid trick was voice doubling Ozzy Osbourn style.. I just made it a little less wet. Seemed to agree with her voice rather well. This track also is totally unMastered. No compressors or limiters or EQing on the Master mix at all. I used a VSTi synth and a little MIDI work for the synth bubbles. Was a lot better then chasing ass looking for a suitable loop to use. Did not have to worry about pitch, sound quality and BMP of a friggen loop. Shame on me for not using a loop for this. I'm just pulling out some old school techniques for doing things.

Description : This song is a bit of a fusion between Rock, Techno with an Angry Emo Edge to it. It's about coming to the realization that the other person in a failed relationation was never there for you at all.

This is a work still in progress, up to the 7th Demo.

I first recorded a punchy almost rap singing style vocal track, a sort of thing you might expect in a Linkin Park song. In the pre chorus I sang some parts in A Minor, over top of the driving Em, G, D, C. The Chorus I broken into smooth hooky chorus. I added a Lower Darker Vocal track after some people suggested it. One person turned me onto The song "Nobody" by Skindred, I had never tried singing in a dark low voice like that before. Was a new experience, plus a bit of a challenge to do it with the kind of mic.

This was the first original song I came up with using MAGIX Music Maker (basic edition). The Drum track is from the stock drum loops. I used the Silver Synth plug-in for the Bass lines. Used a few other loops for extra textural overlays. I played the Guitar tracks myself. I did add a second clean guitar track to the chorus and used the Wha effects of Music Maker. So the driving guitar riff is really two tracks laid down of me playing the indentical thing. One Dirty an one clean with the Wha effects.

I produced the first demo in the matter of a weekend, while getting the feel of how the software worked. Following weekend went back and added the second vocal track and made additional adjustments.

I'm hoping to totally redo this song, after I decide upon and purchase software and Hardware. Any feedback on this work in progress would be appreciated.
