'Road Trip'

[Doug Lauber]

Today's task at my DAW: fill out the center instrumental break section, by adding vibes to the existing tracks- (bass, drums, a few lead guitar fills, and Rhodes elec piano). The section is not very long, but as usual, it took multiple takes and quite a lot of improvisation to come up with some appropriate/usable riffs. The vibes are now done for this section, so after dinner I'll adjust the timing to make sure it isn't too sloppy. So far, the tune has a kewl vibe. Love those vibes. I should finally finish up the last of the tracking tomorrow, with some guitar fills to reinforce the vibe. I might also throw in some orchestral big drum samples for emphasis of important changes.
