This is the first proper metal track I've recorded so far. A wee bit of a boogie during which I discovered the guitar I originally recorded it with had terrible intonation, so I had to rerecord the entire thing.
I wish now I'd tuned down to D or C rather than using concert pitch.
A notable takeaway from this week's song - it's much better to record your guide guitar parts, then program the drums, and only then record your final guitar tracks.
As a result of not having the time to (again...) re-record the guitar parts, my drum parts had to match my sloppy on-the-click-around-the-click playing and the whole piece suffers as a consequence of being unable to tighten the quantising.
Lesson learned. But that not-withstanding, this piece is definitely one I'll be revisiting after I have completed this project - I feel it has the seeds of greatness!
