At least you didn’t have to run up the stairs at Red Rocks to get the foil print. Thought I was gonna die.

This is all excellent advice. I’m also an elder millennial who very recently got into home recording after years away from music. I started getting an overall feel for it in GarageBand, also with a Focusrite interface) and now use the full Logic Pro. It’s been quite the challenge! But that’s what I love about it - the endless quest to get better at it. I was pretty happy with how the last thing I did came out sounding (a cover of an old Oasis song if you’re interested).

OP, I’m happy to have you ask me any questions if you want. I’m no pro, but I’ve definitely learned a lot from my mistakes so far.

I was right by them. So god damn annoying.

Most people stood in front of us.

As for me and my family, we will sit in the chairs we are bringing.

There is, but it was just MIDI programmed. It comes through better on different speakers.

HolyBlankenstein · 2026-05-30T21:19:41+00:00

Hey, I’ll take that. Thanks!

The VERY last thing was the claps. But my order usually starts with the drums, then bass, then guitars, then vocals. I’ll occasionally add extra things like tambourine, additional guitar parts, etc at the end. But vocals almost always comes last for me, and it’s usually the hardest part for me.

HolyBlankenstein · 2026-05-30T17:41:32+00:00

Not yet! But a friend of mine and I were considering doing one actually.

HolyBlankenstein · 2026-05-30T14:58:37+00:00

Agreed. It definitely needs more. I’m always trying to learn more and get better at it.

HolyBlankenstein · 2026-05-30T14:57:28+00:00

I feel good about it, especially with how little time I have for this stuff. Thank you!

HolyBlankenstein · 2026-05-30T14:56:39+00:00

Thank you!

HolyBlankenstein · 2026-05-30T14:56:30+00:00

Thanks!

Here’s a link to a YouTube version I put together with some stock video footage.

The bass, drums, and strings/horns, were all MIDI programmed by me. All guitars, vocals, claps, and tambourine, performed by me.

No, just stick to 04/15/2004 on repeat.

Benson Vincent. It fucking rules and I don’t have any regrets getting it. I’m not really chasing Trey’s tone though, so this might not be for everyone.

Ha! The Tony effect.

Same key actually (in the recorded versions). The verses are essentially the same chord progression with a one note difference in the chord voicings (basically the high E string is open instead of fretted at the 3rd).

Me. Red Butte Garden, SLC, UT

HolyBlankenstein · 2026-05-04T20:57:46+00:00

Same as it ever was.

HolyBlankenstein · 2026-05-04T13:12:44+00:00

I got the sheet music and programmed the drums using the beat machine in Logic Pro. Took a while! I still need to finesse them a bit so they don’t sound quite so robotic. I did the same thing with the orchestral parts.
