After the finished production of Alive In Me I think more about the sounds of instruments. Like you already know, I don’t record the songs with a band but program all instruments in the studio software (DAW). The software has a big sound library already, a lot of it electronic sounds. It’s not set that there’s the sound I’m looking for. So, I go and search for realistic sounds of acoustic instruments on the internet. There are a ton of companies offering their products, it’s about what fits my songs. I think for the piano I already found a nice one. The guitar plugin is something else just because of the system using six strings. After some back and forth I made a decision here, too. I’m excited to hear these new sounds in the finished song Kindly Smiling Disappointment.
Currently, the line-up includes acoustic guitars, piano, presumably an electronic bass, drums and another electronic synth sound for more fullness of sound. While production I had the vision of the acoustic guitars playing a main role but I always had the feeling of something missing. Then the sound engineer heard something else. He made the suggestion to take the bass to the front instead. Maybe this could be a solution, let’s see. If everything goes well, I possibly get a version in the end of next week.
