It was a long and arduous process. First, I figured out all the individual parts on their respective instruments, and practiced them until there was a chance I could play them all the way through without screwing up. This was made difficult by the fact that I don't know how to play guitar, bass, or drums very well. After that, I hooked up my macbook to my sound board and recorded every part individually. This was made even more difficult by the fact that I REALLY don't know what I'm doing with recording software, effects, and techniques.
But today, all that came to an end when I put the finishing touches on the vocal harmonies. I'm proud of the result. The song is simple, the playing is simple, and the recording is a hack job if there ever was one, but I'm still proud of it. Hopefully, the next one goes faster and smoother. Ideally, I'd find a few fine fellows who appreciate pop punk music as much as I do, and who could help in the instrumentation department. I have so many ideas for stuff that I simply don't have the skill to get out of those instruments myself.
Here is the song, for your enjoyment. Iron Rainclothes by First Class Honesty!
