The Way it Should Have Been

I’ve been wanting to redo some of my older songs after getting the T5, because the guitars literally sound like shit when compared to the newer ones I made. I actually started on a couple of them, but I was able to finish the remake for “The Way it Should Have Been”

As stated [verbatim] in the Music Section:

Reprise of “The Way it Should Have Been” (duh!) with the following changes:

  1. A bit faster tempo, so it’s about 20 seconds shorter than the original.
  2. Re-recorded the guitar part with my Taylor T5
  3. Changed the percussion section with better sounding instruments (via Reason)
  4. Added a very subtle ambient pad (via Cakewalk Rapture)
  5. Re-done the vocal track with some lyric changes

Over-all, this is a better version, and it’s just fun to compare it because it shows clearly how much my sound has changed from the last time I recorded it.

If you feel like it, compare it to the old one below:
