Dead By Now: Music and Lyrics by Dave Carlson Recorded, produced and mastered at Guestroom Studios / Orcutt, Ca. by Dave Carlson Craig Barnett - Electric Guitar Kurt Klucker - Bass Guitar Dave Carlson - Acoustic Guitar, Piano, Drums and Vocals Thanks to Kurt and Craig for sharing their amazing talents, time and for being extra sets of ears in and out of the studio. For my geeky music friends who might be interested in the back end info: The song is bare, honest and to the point. I wanted that "less is more" idea to carry through to the recording technique. So, the recorded tracks in this song have no audio effects (reverb, auto-tune...NEVER!, Chorus, etc.) with the exception of delay on the lead vocal track during the chorus, the verses are dry. A very small amount (5%) of reverb was added during the mastering process to blend the tracks together. Also, no filler instruments were used such as strings, synths, organ, white noise and such. The end product is a bit raw sounding, and that is what I was after. Specifically, the vocals and drums are left sounding natural and imperfect. I love the huge 26" kick drum. This song is a turning point for me in the way I record. Less is more.....I'm learning!
