So I'm going to post three songs I've recorded: two originals and one cover. These were all done in my bedroom studio and were performed, engineered, and produced almost exclusively by my lonesome, specific details on equipment and such are included below. Hope you enjoy!
For Ben, Love Jesus (http://www.otheosdivine.com/for_ben_love_jesus.mp3): Indie rock tune I wrote a while ago for my band. Used a $25 Radio Shack mic built by Shure for all the live stuff except bass guitar: acoustics, electrics, vocals. Bass was run direct, drums were generated by Reason and programmed by yours truly. Actually, the entire song was mixed and produced within Reason, seeing how at the time I didn't have a quality multitracking program. I used Cubasis VST (which was included with my Soundblaster sound card) to record the audio, then I imported all the sounds into Reason via the advanced sound sampler.
Send Me (http://www.otheosdivine.com/send_me.mp3): Acoustic song I wrote for missions emphasis stuff at church. Based on Isaiah Chapter 6, written at the apartment of one of the guitarists from my church praise band. Acoustics mic'd stereo with a Rode NT2 and a Shure SM81 condenser, I believe. Vocals tracked with the Rode and the bass run direct. Drums were again generated in Reason, however I originally recorded the live audio in Cubasis but then imported everything into Cubase SX once I got it.
Blessed Be Your Name (http://www.otheosdivine.com/blessed_be_your_name.mp3): My David Crowder Band-esque version of Matt Redman's current popular praise song. The only reason I did it is because I wanted a reason to like the song. Every other version I've heard of the song hasn't really struck a good chord with my ears, so I decided to do it my way. This is probably the first song I did using Cubase from start to finish, using Reason for all the drums & perc & the high synth leady part. Acoustics and vocals were recorded with an Audio Technica 4060 studio condenser, with a Samson condenser filling out the acoustics in stereo. Electrics were tracked with an SM57 and were a pain to get close to right (they're still not quite what I want, but I think they're about as good as they'll ever be). Bass was done direct, of course. Yes, that's me doing the high vox too. :D Hope you enjoy!
