After listening to what I thought was pretty decent when I recorded it last weekend, I realized it wasn’t good enough. I toyed with some midi drums midweek – which improved the situation.

This morning, I downloaded a midi keyboard app for my Android tablet (in the picture for this post). I added some simple keyboard notes and toyed with the reverb settings on the vocal tracks. I also removed the scratch acoustic guitar and the box drum I recorded.

I will be re-recording the vocals for this one.

There are parts of this that have the feel I want. I started with a scratch acoustic guitar track to put down the song structure (which may be a bit too long), then I did the vocals – two tracks panned. Then some box drum and finally bass.

I may add/subtract/fix/re-record from this to finish this track as I need to get this record going. The second album will be better!

That said, here is this morning’s effort – I certainly had some fun doing it:
