So here it is a re-rendition of a old live chord sequence called Give Up The Fight.

So I've made a new song called "Give Up The Fight" which uses a old chord sequence of mine which I've used in live situations and jam sessions. you can find the new song here: "Give Up The Fight"

I used Cubase 9 to compile and sequence it. I mainly used Vanguard and a very basic Sawtooth wave in Serum, layering eight oscillators over each other to create a chorused style effect. I also used a kick drum from my old Akai drum package and EZDrummer to create the Hi-Hat and Snare lines.

I played in the synth solo lines a few times to come up with something original and witty. The vocals were processed in two parts, one using Autotune and a light reverb effect and the final one using Orange Vocoder, keying it to F, I also used a slightly heavier reverb line to make it sit in with the rest of the song.

I used a dynamic microphone from Behringer as this seems to fit my vocal style a lot more than using a condenser microphone. I've now sold my Rodes NT1-A as my deeper voice never seemed to fit the waveform which was created by the NT1-A. I have plans to buy another condenser microphone in the future, but I want a very large diaphragm microphone, or even a microphone used for kick drums and low bass guitars. I want to make a few songs showcasing my operatic low baritone vocals, but I need a good track to go along with it.

My favourite song over the last 12 months has still to be "Time Goes On (Complete With Vocal)" This song really showcases some of my best vocals and the track is very good and was created fully and manually in a studio, not using sequencing as a means of creation. I've been told the verses backing track sounds like 2Pac and Biggie Smalls. I used no autotune and hardly any processing on the vocals. The mid eight was played in by me as well which I love as it shows off my keyboard skills, which I don't really do that often.
