Title: Rhonda arrangement/production breakdown video
Post by: Joshilyn Hoisington on August 07, 2022, 02:25:57 PM
Following on the heels of my recreation track, I've done a video where I go into my Logic Pro session and play some individual tracks and instrument groups, and take you further into how Brian put this track together.

Very enjoyable! And I finally heard that organ part after seeing it isolated. I had to go back and watch the full song again after watching the breakdown - great idea to have the performance as a stand-alone video.

Excellent stuff as always, especially love that section where you add in the "room sound" which would be fun to track across the different recording locations. I'm not certain that the following notion is going to be as revelatory or as useful as I think it might be, but hearing songs as "they would sound" in different recording room ambiences could make for interesting listening, just as is the case when you take out all the reverb out of "Rhonda" for a few seconds.

BTW, here's a YouTube link for this video, which doesn't appear to be in the original post:
