What lurks in this lost place? A forgotten land harbors ancient mystery and danger still waits for travelers sent through the shifting paths.


I tried a lot of new things on this song. I had never really recorded audio for a song before or used traditional orchestral instruments. It's something I definitely want to perfect. I need to learn more music theory too :(

Great atmosphere!

Thanks man!

Quality stuff! One note, however:
I can hear background noise in the recording - a fan or something of the sort. It becomes an audible difference especially when you go from your recorded audio to what I assume are sampled/synthesized sounds from a sound library of some kind. I recommend running your recorded audio through noise removal. For that purpose, I use Audacity - which is an excellent free sound editor. To do that in Audacity, just select a moment of silence in the recording, go to Effect>Noise Reduction and click Get Noise Profile. Then select the entire thing (CTRL+A works here) and go back to the same dialog and hit ok to do the noise reduction. It will remove any jarring persistent noise in the recording and make it sound a bit more like it was done in a studio.
Other than that, I love the atmosphere this piece provides! Kudos!

kcpm responds:

Thanks, that's very helpful advice! Damn, it must be my computer fan. I know you can also hear my arm rubbing across the face of the guitar and my chair creaking. I think I might just start recording in the bathroom or closet and padding the walls.
