Recording a half-step up... stupid question
Question for you experienced studio people: Just for fun, I want to record a version of "Folsom Prison Blues" in Garageband, in my little home studio. I'll be playing one electric guitar, one acoustic, mandolin, and bass, along with a drum track.
Trouble is, I'm no Johnny Cash. I can't hit that low "E" note vocally, but if I capo up a half-step and play it in "F" I can do it.
So my question: Should I capo all instruments, or capo nothing and shift everything up a half-step in Garageband? Or, just sing my best in "E", and try to fix that one vocal note by shifting it down in GB?
