Usually I will have a riff or two that I like, so I’ll put together a beat that matches, then record them to the beat. Then I’ll expand on the beat, adding or removing complexities, and figure out what should come next, until I have something resembling a song. Then I work on a vocal part by mumbling gibberish in a basic melody. Then I’ll listen to the gibberish and pick out things that sound like words, or at least match it with words that have enough syllables to fit, and expand the lyrics that way. Then I tinker with it for a while until I have it just right, and then re-record the whole thing, add more instruments, and mix it. Sometimes I will set a challenge for myself. For example, this weekend I challenged myself to record an entire song using only one microphone and four tracks. It ended up being 10 tracks, but still all recorded with one mic. Success!
