“Hurtful Things” @joyce_road_studios (new song)
Sometimes I get an urge to write a pop song…
Recorded, arranged, and produced on iPad from start to finish…

I love its movement! Very clever. Reminds me of a track from the Magnetic Fields' "69 Love Songs." Which is a very high compliment.
Wonderfully demented!
Your operatic voice sounds good. All those lessons paid off!
Great!
I love the journey your melody takes… surprises jump out at you when you least expect it.
Nice guitar work and I suspect you might have played the drums too. Tell us how they were made… do you get into it in your studio. The tempo gets truly manic.
I recorded the intro part a while back during the pandemic, just me and a nylon string into GarageBand, using my iPhone and its built-in mic. Basically a scratch track I ended up using. Now I’m on the road and I have my mobile set up that travels with me so I’m occasionally expounding on song ideas when time allows…
Gear used:
cheap nylon string
expensive Strat build
Motu M4
Shure SM58
Soyuz Launcher
iLoud MTMs
Sony 7506s
Apps used:
GarageBand
Auria Pro
Overloud th-u
MixBox
FabFilter Pro-Q
FabFilter Pro-MB
10 tracks recorded in Garageband
intro vocal and nylon string (iPhone mic)
Drums were done manually with fingers, including the fills. Some trial and error, surgical edits, and a little quantization. I did kick drum and cymbals on one track, snare and toms on another.
2 rhythm guitar tracks basically doubling each other, a clean guitar using th-u bassman rig and a dirty guitar using th-u soldano rig.
solo guitar using th-u soldano rig.
bass guitar track which was actually just me playing clean guitar on the neck pickup, then I added a sub octave in GarageBand and a fuzzy bass preset in MixBox
lead vocals and background vocals using GarageBand filters “lead vocal” “extra singer” etc…
These were all made into separate audio stems and imported into Auria Pro for mixing.
Once in Auria I put separate instances of MixBox on the drums, bass, and vocals. On the Master strip it was Pro-MB and Pro-Q. Mixdown to one stereo track, re-import that into Auria Pro, and one final FabFilter instance on the master strip to finish it off.
Very detailed process… thanks for sharing. Made on the road? Impressive.
I can’t believe I forgot about finger drumming. I rarely do it so it didn’t occur to me as an option but it explains what I was hearing better than you bashing away at that tempo.
I missed this when it was posted. Love it, great melody and vocals. Really like the lo-fi vibe from using the built-in mic as well.
