Man ive been wondering how you make these sounds
there so sharp
Got massively experimental IDM today. Truthfully it's a track that's been sitting almost finished on my computer for a long time but never got completed because I wasn't "happy" with it. I needed another easy day though and found the track entertaining enough to finish it off and call it a wrap.
Very busy, Tom and I spent the morning digging out the side by side. We needed to put tracks on it so we could grind through the snow and make a trip into town for packages, groceries, and other neat stuff. I've said it before but for those that don't follow my blog, Tom and I live off grid in the rocky mountains. Our roads aren't maintained in the winter so we usually snowmobile around. The day really belonged to the trip into town, it takes us some serious time to trudge through the San Juan forest in a snow vehicle to get to a Jeep we've parked halfway through the forest, swap vehicles, and then make the rest of the trip towards Dolores/Cortez.
We have a really weird life right now but I'm grateful for it everyday. The mountain never stops being beautiful. I think some of the voice samples came from an old Newground podcast episode. Do it up.

Second guess every knob twiddle. Constantly compare yourself to others and try to your hearts effort to sound more like the mix downs you look up to.
To be 100% honest, I'm kind of shit with my fidelity tools. I went by the "learn to trust your ear" school of musical ignorance and half of what I know is just the result of dumb knob twiddling and experimentation. I turn limiters on and off then off and on again like "I have no idea what I'm doing. Somebody please, stop me."
Apparently if you compress too much, it's bad but it's also bad if you don't compress at all. I know panning is a good trick but I'm kind of deaf in one ear. I always wonder how lopsided my mix must sound to someone with perfect ears...
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.
