Musicians / Re: BLACKINK's Projects - v. big chugus
« Last post by BlackInk on Today at 12:01:33 PM »So I originally had two other projects in the works that were going to be my next posts. One is delayed since I handed the track off to the lead guitarist of the band to write a solo, which is taking longer than expected. The other project were demos for the next of my old albums I wrote as a teenager, but my 6-string guitar has broken and so I can't work on that until I get it fixed.
Instead I thought I'd go back to the drawing board instead, doing a simple mix test just to see if I can get some more life and intensity into my productions. I realized that I had been too aggressively micro-managing the top end in previous mixes, and thought I'd try to embrace it a little more, giving the sound more presence and being much easier on the ears. Thought I'd post the results, as it turned into quite a groovy track. It's not really a proper song, more of a simple riff that was easy to deal with as I tried to dial in a cool tone, with some ambience coming and going to give it a floaty rolling mood.
Hopefully my tracks will have more of this sound going forward, we'll see how it goes. I'm sure there will be complications that will make me want to tear my hair out when I try it on more complex and dynamic songs.
