Hello all!
I have been experimenting a bit, and I’m slowly figuring out some of the processes.
The good news—I got a laptop this past weekend, and can now use the scarlet audio interface that I purchased a few weeks back. I installed reaper, and am slowly working through how to use the DAW (much more reading, and experimentation required)
I recorded a song last night, in one sitting but two different capacities—on SoundCloud through reaper, and just using my camera on the laptop. I notice some subtle differences in the audio between the recordings, but neither really sounds like what I was hearing on my headphones through reaper. I might have messed something up with the exporting process, because it seems like some of the FX disappeared.
Please let me know what you think—can you hear a difference between the two? It’s not a perfect recording, and I actually jacked up a couple of the chord transitions in key spots, but I’m excited about the studio end now!
Here is the YouTube/video version
Granddaddy’s Gun—Aaron Lewis
Here is the SoundCloud version (and my first recording on SoundCloud!)
Granddaddy’s Gun—Aaron Lewis
If you can’t tell I have been on an Aaron Lewis kick this month, but visiting my quickly aging grandfather recently motivated me to learn and record this song. As always, any feedback is appreciated!
