In today’s episode of Diary of a Music Maker, I show you how I produce instrumental slowcore music.
You see me write the track ‘Do you think that?’ from the album, 'The past is blurry' by my instrumental slowcore project, 'I don’t know myself'.
My approach falls into these steps:
Lay down the drums (usually the same drum pattern)
Record the main guitar line which is usually a bassline
Record a second guitar part that works in conjunction with the main guitar line
Record a melody line
If I am recording vocals I’d do that here
Record an ambient topline
Refine structure - I usually stick to an A-B-A-B-B structure
For the ‘master’ I keep it simple. On the stereo out bus, I keep it very simple with cassette emulation software by Wavesfactory and a limiter, PSP Xenon.
