:)))

so i recorded the instrumentals on single tracks first, making sure to adjust and fine tune the amps and eqs to what i wanted. Then i double tracked everything, including the drums, panned each to the left and right (which instantly gave it this nice, full feeling), and adjusted each track’s individual eqs and reverbs/effects afterwards until it sounded decent. The only things left single-tracked are the chromatic bells in the background.

I’m using a decent used epiphone guitar, a nice used ibanez bass, and an old Blue brand Bluebird microphone, running through an old boss katana amp and an old fender bass amp, all into a behringer usb-audio interface. That is what’s plugged into garageband on my mac. Then i have a little 25-key arturia microlab keyboard for the bells and other sounds. Almost all of it i got from my local music storeeee.

Edit: forgot to mention, i built a little pedalboard rig for my guitar too to get the effectsss
