Wednesday/The Moral Guardians Make A Housecall – 100613

Sponsored by “Daytrotter Sessions”.

WEDNESDAY

Edited the Strat parts in CE5. They work fine. No need to add additional instrumentation. I won’t be using the Nanotron parts I programmed last week. The track is ready to mix/master.

…MORAL GUARDIANS…

The EP is on release and is selling nicely.

Over the weekend, I noticed something odd going on with one of the vocal parts near the end of the song. I thought the problem was an open hi-hat drum part that was unsympathetic (as it were) to the vocals. I changed the open hi-hat to a closed hi-hat, but the problem persisted. When I looked at the vocal parts, I noticed a big boo-boo – in that section of the vocals I am working off two parts sung in unison. Unfortunately, I discovered that I was actually signing different lyrics for the same part! Since I could only choose from two different parts, and I didn’t want to just have one part at that point in the song (it would’ve sounded odd, believe me…), I muted the part I didn’t want, copied the part I didn’t want over the one I did wanted and moved it slightly to give the impression of two singers singing the same part rather than one part being a copy of the other. I also tweaked the metronome part a tad and remixed/mastered in CE5/AA3.

So know there are two slightly different versions of the track to listen to. Marketing ploy? Naaah, mate – not that clever…;-).
