So I recorded this song for Music Zone, and man… the days just slipped away from me without me even realizing it. I really thought I was going to finish everything in just a couple of days, but nope. I ended up recording super slowly, like painfully slow, and then the post-production with those Silent Hill samples took me forever too. Like, way longer than I expected. But oh well, whatever. I'm still sharing it with my alien buddies anyway, just to see if they happen to like my cover of this song. They're probably the only ones who can handle all the weirdness I threw into this track.
So here's what I did. I loaded up that classic Silent Hill 2 sample, you know the one, plus I also grabbed that creepy menu sound effect from the game. Then I just threw them both into BandLab with a bunch of filters — and when I say a bunch, I seriously mean A BUNCH, lol. Like, I'm not even joking. I already lost count of how many filters I actually used. It got to a point where I just kept adding more and more without thinking twice. Once I finally had my vocals and my guitar recorded — which took a while on its own — everything else after that was just adding layer after layer after layer after layer. And yeah, maybe I went a little overboard, but honestly? No regrets. Let's see if my alien friends feel the same way.
AsĂ que grabĂ© esta canciĂłn para Music Zone, y, hombre… los dĂas se me pasaron volando sin siquiera darme cuenta. La verdad pensĂ© que iba a terminar todo en solo un par de dĂas, pero nel. TerminĂ© grabando sĂşper lento, como dolorosamente lento, y luego la postproducciĂłn con esos samples de Silent Hill tambiĂ©n me tomĂł una eternidad. O sea, mucho más de lo que esperaba. Pero bueno, ni modo. Igual la voy a compartir con mis amigos alienĂgenas, solo para ver si les gusta mi cover de esta canciĂłn. Ellos probablemente son los Ăşnicos que pueden soportar toda la rareza que le metĂ a este track.
La canciĂłn original está aquĂ:
AsĂ que esto fue lo que hice. CarguĂ© ese sample clásico de Silent Hill 2, ya sabes cuál, y tambiĂ©n agarrĂ© ese efecto de sonido espeluznante del menĂş del juego. Luego los lancĂ© ambos en BandLab con un montĂłn de filtros — y cuando digo un montĂłn, en serio digo UN MONTĂ“N, jajaja. O sea, ni siquiera estoy bromeando. Ya perdĂ la cuenta de cuántos filtros usĂ© en total. LlegĂł a un punto en el que solo seguĂa agregando y agregando sin pensarlo dos veces. Una vez que finalmente grabĂ© mi voz y mi guitarra — lo cual ya tomĂł su buen rato — todo lo demás despuĂ©s fue solo agregar capa tras capa tras capa tras capa. Y sĂ, tal vez me pasĂ© un poquito, Âżpero honestamente? Sin remordimientos. Vamos a ver si mis amigos alienĂgenas piensan lo mismo.
