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

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!
