Less Crappy Guitar Recording of the Day

To make up for having that lame Sevendust cover at the top for the last couple days, here's a song that I spent a lot more time on.

Today's cover is "Deny" by Default. The band Default, I mean. It's not like I...picked the song...by default...or something. Anyway...

I'm looking after Ryan's amp (a Line 6 Spider 212) for the next few days, and I figured I'd try making a recording with it. Mission accomplished.

Specifically, I used the "clean" setting for the clean guitar (which makes sense). For the distorted guitars, I recorded one center track with the treble emphasized, then recorded a second track with more low end and duplicated it, then panned one copy to the left and one to the right for a nice stereo effect. All three distorted tracks use the "insane" setting.

I used GarageBand for the drums, as usual. I was going to record them myself, but it's a bit late for drumming, and I don't know if I have any mics. I'll try to get something with 100% real drums recorded in the near future. However, I am pretty satisfied with the track I made for this one. It's all about tweaking the loops.

Once again, the crappiness of my guitar prevents this from sounding too great, but it's a bit heavier than some of the other stuff. Check it out:
