Semi-fourtrack enthusiasm: 'Goal-miss-bearer'



Song:
Goal-miss-bearer

Session Date: Between the 28th of Februari and the 3th of March 2007

Recording Gear: PC with Audacity; headset mic; Tascam 488 MKII used as a mixer; semi-SM 58 mic

Music Gear: Takamine Spanish guitar with steel strings; Squier bass

Log: First, I recorded a guitar track with the headset mic, recording two (nearly) identical tracks panned left and right. Then I recorded the bass through the Tascam. After that I recorded the 'drums', hissing in the headset mic and adding lots of reverb. Later, I added the vocals through the Tascam; I added some 'Classic Reverb' to the vocals. I compressed all tracks a couple of times in the process as well as the final track; I also used some hard limiter.

Lyrics: Crazy entertainers try to draw into the moonlight / And there's a curse that staines us / Why can't we roll our eyes and do right? / You've come to take my hand / And I walked away / I still don't understand your love / So what can I say? / I'm a window starer / Tryin' to fade into the tree-leaves / But you're a goal-miss-bearer / Why don't we give away the dream-sheets?
