Worked today on the levels in my production piece which has to be handed in in 3 weeks. I didnt realise how creative the mixing stage of making a tune is. Or how complicated. Anyway, understood how to put the drum tracks into a bus to bring them down/put effects on together. Also, need to be aware of the bass issues I have. Bass from the kick drum, piano notes and bass line are occupying the same sonic space, which will probably mean it needs compression, a complicated effect to use.
On the production side, I am trying to clean up the drum patterns a little, make more use of space and time in the rhythm. Also, Justin, my lecturer taught me how to put different drum beats into the same sampler pad so 1 hit triggers them together. And also how to change the volume inside the ESX sampler. Oh yeh, also how to change the velocity in MIDI so as to get more dynamics out of the drums. Nice.
Still trying to get a more authentic sound, kind of like this as an inspiration
and I would love to do some kind of boogie funk reworking. Thats something to start looking at.
