Shout out to Roland for sending their brand new AIRA Compact series! The Voice Tweaker one instantly made me want to tackle this absolute gem from James Blake, Bon Iver and Rick Rubin. 🌱 (Patch note below)

I used the RC-505 as the foundation for the setup, it records the synth, vocal and bass loops. I also have 2 pre-recorded loops featuring some background vocals (starting 1:15), these were sung by myself and Jaded ([ Ссылка ]). The synth drone and chord stabs are from the AIRA Compact J-6 which goes through the Microcosm. The E-4 is modifying the vocal part with pitch correction, a formant filter and some delay. If you're interested in the E-4, please note that I had to add another layer of pitch correction later in my DAW as some "wrong" notes kinda slipped through. It sounds really nice but it's not as forgiving as a proper auto-tune software so you need to have a descent/stable pitch if you want a "perfect" result on the other end. At least that's my experience! Finally the T-8 is playing the drums which are going straight into my audio interface. The ZOIA was only here to switch between the 2 mics (the telephone mic and the main Aston Microphones Origin) which were going through a small mixer first.

Most elements were recorded onto separate tracks and I mixed the whole thing inside Logic Pro X. I added some reverb/delay and I mastered the result with Izotope Ozone 9.

Anyway I hope you'll enjoy this one, love y'all!
