Digitally Challenged
But I've never really did it, so that's going to be the hard part. The kids were watching a movie tonight, and me being me and tuning out on a kids movie, I hear some theme music. I sat there and thought about for a minute. Listened to it again and thought, "That could be pretty cool if toss some gain on there and thicken up a few parts."
Now I've been sitting here for the last 3 or 4 hours just fiddling around with it. The tune itself isn't that hard, but to thicken it up in the places I want, it's going to take a little work. I'm not very good at knowing which notes are what on the fretboard. So I'm going to pick and poke around the board until something I like pops out at me.
After listening to it a few times, the intro can start off nice and smooth. Clean or maybe a lower gain setting. Then as it picks up, pile on the gain and some chorus and/or delay...Then in the middle, there's a real good line to just stomp on the wah and give it a real nice vocal quality.
I'm really excited about this. Nothing has really inspired to pick up my guitar and really do anything with it in a long time. I'll few problems piecing the tune together and get to that sound in my head, but the recording thing has me bothered. I'm probably going to have to do multiple tracks since I don't have a looper. I don't have mics or a mixer, so that's out as well. The only thing I really have to do this with currently is the iphone apps that are ampkit and amplitube. That's going to be a real pain in the arse.
If you guys have any tips or clues to help make the recording part easier, please feel free to point me in the right direction! If you guys think it might help, I can probably afford to pick up a cheap Pod or something else if there's a cheaper alternative. I see you guys talk about amp and cab sims for a PC, but I have no idea what they are or if my laptop can even handle it lol!
C'mon fellas! Hook a brotha up!
