NEW solo project, anyone else doing the same?

Just checking in, are there any of you folks that are making surf music (writing, playing all instruments, recording) without anyone else? If so, what is your process like? I’ve got a technique that seems somewhat logical & efficient but am always looking for insight/suggestions to be able to improve. Top
Samurai Joined: Mar 14, 2006 Posts: 2249 Kiev, Ukraine	Posted on Jan 21 2025 11:15 AM Hi there! I am doing everything by myself. If you mean the process of recordIng it’s usually like this: When I am ready with the tune and basic arrangement I put simple drums (Garageband drummer) and record basic bass line and drafts of rhythm and solo guitars. Then I “program” proper drums how I want them to be, re-record bass with it and then all the guitars and other stuff like ukulele or stylophone. Sometimes I make corrections in bass or drums lines but usually don’t touch them after I record guitars. I hope that helps. — Waikiki Makaki surf-rock band from Ukraine https://linktr.ee/waikikimakaki Lost Diver https://lostdiver.bandcamp.com https://soundcloud.com/vitaly-yakushin Top

I’ve got an iPad app to remotely work with my daw, which is awesome to be able to record… and then erase and record again right from the drum throne. Top

Cool, should be very useful for recording drummer! You may check the results of my process in my signature, will be happy to share our experience. — Waikiki Makaki surf-rock band from Ukraine https://linktr.ee/waikikimakaki Lost Diver https://lostdiver.bandcamp.com https://soundcloud.com/vitaly-yakushin Top
elmorto Joined: Feb 23, 2018 Posts: 102 Oslo	Posted on Jan 22 2025 02:44 AM Hello! Also a fellow solo music maker checking in. I do play my songs live with a band, but everthing I put out online is all me. I play the guitar, bass, keys and use plugins for sounds. For drums I use EzDrummer or hire someone online to do the drums. The process varies from tune to tune, but it usually starts with an idea for a riff or a melody. A lot of times an idea pops into my head when I'm doing other things. I try to sing it into my phone, so I can try it out when I have a guitar in my hands. I also use an online midi sequencer to try out ideas when I don't have my guitar. — Beach Bomb - Black Surf from the cold waters of Norway! https://beachbombband.bandcamp.com Top
