Shadows - Demos VS Actual Recordings

Hi everyone!

Today, I wanted to change a bit, so no video samples.

Today I'd like to speak about the differences between the demos and the recordings.

If you read this blog regularly, you read here about the different steps when creating this album.

Once the whole album composed, I had all the songs in a demo form. They all had their "almost definitive" structure, the strings parts, bass and drums riffs, and some basic keyboards parts.

I already knew what I wanted to add to these demos, the sounds, the keyboards, some effects...
When I started to record everything, I played the things I wanted, the way I wanted them to sound...

And the songs came to life. In the first post about recording the album, I told that I was discovering the songs, and that's still the case for all the songs.

Today, I want you to understand what I mean, so here are three samples. On each one, you'll hear the demo version, then the actual recording. It's always the same sample (not mixed).

I hope you'll like them, see you next week !
