I've spent the past month playing with my new speakers. Remixing my first 3 songs. Yeah, so not a lot of progress to report on song 4 unfortunately.
I've also started doing my friend Amy's second song for her EP. It's called Safeway Parking Lot. I've learnt a lot of new stuff since I did her first song, so I will probably remix that for her EP release.
I've been uploading my songs to Bandcamp and listening to them all in a row. This is helping me to create consistency between the frequencies in each song, and to test out the flow of the tracks.
Now some technical rubbish:
I've begun noticing a technique that lots of artists use to create perception of space. I call it the 'cone of space'. I have no idea what this is actually called, if anything. Basically it works like this. Sounds positioned in the centre of the mix, have a low pass filter applied to about 400hz, whilst sounds in the side have a low pass to about 300hz. These vary of course, depending on the song. Anyway, this creates the illusion that the sounds to your left and right are closer than those in front of you. Something like that.
That's it for this month.
