Ill be sure and share the songs when they're released, but for now my wrists hurt, I got frustrated with the last song because apparently my brain can decide to forget how to count to 8, and we gotta go back Friday to figure out how to finish up a bridge.

Idk. Gonna shower, play Elderand, watch my YouTube slop (been into Dead Domain lately, that channel is cool and good), and snuggle Comrade Bailey.

No you’re good, I appreciate all advice I can get. Thank you very much.

I'm a fan of Reaper myself as it's free.

You read my mind lmfao the proletarian DAW.

I think my next question is like what does the process look like once you have tracks recorded? Also what is mixing and mastering?

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Generally speaking, you pretty much got it.

All tracks recorded > mixing > mastering

Mixing would be doing things like correcting volume levels and panning, making sure nothing is muffled, adding any desired effects, doing EQ, and stuff like that.

Mastering is kind of like the sheen that goes over everything all at once - compression, normalizing volume, saturation, basically effects that you would put on the 'master' track of the DAW.

Awesome thank you so much, I know there’s still a lot to learn but I think I’m ready to give it a go. Whenever you get the chance you should post your music on here I’m sure we’d all like to hear it.

This fuckin rips, definitely going in the rotation. First song reminds me of Estron era slowmatics in the best way.
