#youcan'tstoparailroad

[bookauthorron-blog]

This song I wrote, "You Can't Stop a Railroad," was a fun one to write. To get the sound of the men swinging a sledgehammer as they were driving the railroad spikes in. I had to go to our local farm feed store and purchase a cowbell. After plugging my microphone into my Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3 interface and using Reaper DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), all that was left was to load a recording track, turn on the microphone, and then hit record. By using my drumstick, I would hit the cowbell to the rhythm of the music.
