This is my new recording that I did earlier tonight, and it's really loud, fuzzy drone track with my guitar tuned to DADAAD.
I record with my iPhone's built-in mic, nothing else. Signal path is guitar>Corned Beef>Cool Cat Fuzz>Hardwire Reverb>amp

Love teh dronez, thanks a bunch for sharing.
I listened when you first posted, but didn't post right away my thoughts. If I may get all snobby and
smug producey about the track, I think it would be even more crazy awesome if there was some kind of stereo split going on (like running it through a lightly modulated reverb on an RV-7, to your DAW's L/R stereo input) to give the noise a much wider spread, or if you set up the first track with a "time chart" you could lay down another of similar/matching contour and progressively create the depth manually.
On a related note, when Cindi and I did our
The Sons of Levi track a few years ago we decided to keep the tonic (D) with the bass and main fuzz drone (double tracked, panned 9:00 and 3:00), then dumped long delay strumming/feedback and other harmonic content a la orchestra stuff on top of that. Kinda monotonous and boring, but the immovable D bass did have a "grounding" effect. We had to pick the key of D because the "Levite" of the mix (our friend Joey Levenson) initially gave us a warbling thing for us to work around (heard by itself at the end of the track) in the key of D that runs through the entire track.

See, if I had proper recording gear, I would have done something like that. Alas, I was limited to my phone and three pedals. I might record another take in a friend's studio, though. Thanks for the listen and the ideas!

Aye!
Still quite a feat working with what you've got, I myself couldn't imagine getting anything better from a phone's microphone! I reckon a simple stereo audio interface like GuitarJack (and something like the FourTrack app) would make a world of difference for future stuff, but that's stating the obvious. Keep up the good work, would like to hear stuff you do down the road.

I'm in a fuzzy trance. Well done!
Question: How much weed should I smoke to accomplish these sounds?

A few bowls maybe, make sure you've popped some painkillers beforehand too.
Speaking of which, I've made a ton of new songs, might share in their own thread.
