I went up into the studio with the intentions of finishing the Fool Play demo this weekend. I had to fight off a kitten named Obie from playing with all the cords (another reason to consider wireless).

I attacked using a drum beat on my keyboard while singing along to get the approximate length of the song. Then I practiced the bass part a few times and recorded. Nowhere near perfect, but ok for my personal demo IMHO. Then I sang over that with similar results. Somewhere along the way one of the verses became a bridge and I worked in a rudimentary organ part – all before breakfast!

Used the FocusRite compressor and reverb on the vocals with the settings below. Just trial and error at this point – no idea what I’m doing there (with any of it?).

The demo please:
