Pierce The Veil – Emergency Contact<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year I chose a song of a more comfortable genre based on what I usually play, while still challenging myself with some of the guitar parts and testing myself with adjusting instrument tones through Logic. I chose not to record drums or vocals as I don’t wish to progress with vocals in college and I’m yet to learn how to set up my drum kit properly at home for Logic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My process of learning this song consisted of listening to the tab version on Songsterr <\/a>and comparing it to the original song on Spotify<\/a>. I realised there’s a lot more to the original recording than written in tabs, so I started learning the chords to the intro and learnt the rest by ear. I learnt the song in a couple hours and recording took me a total of around 4-6 hours over two days. The video took me about half an hour to put together because the way I recorded it was unnecessarily complex and I had to line up every clip with the audio I recorded through Logic. If I was to do something like this again, I would aim to record each instrument in as little parts as possible to show I can record everything altogether in one video. I DI’d everything using a jack lead and my audio interface and used Logic’s existing tone settings with some modifications. The only other thing I did to the audio was fade some parts in and cut a single recording into several pieces to move the middle part to a track with a different tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
