31 Today

This week's free download is a cover of the Aimee Mann song, Thirty One Today. It was recorded using GarageBand on the Mac in my home studio. It's the first time I've used the program for anything more sophisticated than an audio notepad so it's been an interesting learning curve. I'm sure I'll become better at using it as time goes on.

All the instruments are played live, generally in a single take (mainly because I've yet to master drop ins!). I attempted to use the automatic tuner and quantize features but neither seemed to work as they should so it's all as it was recorded, with just a handful of effects.

It features guitar, bass and mandolin along with the vocals and backing vocals. Download it at http://tinyurl.com/7nqlmd.

Feels quite appropriate for this week ;-)
