In tonights session we will take a look at mine and Baby Rollén's track I C Jangles that I put out on Holding Hands 003. Looking closely at the wave form for the liquid pouring and the mouth flicking drip drip noises.
I will be going through my track Taking It Out For A Rip which came out on Touch From A Distance. We will look at all the parts. How they were made and how they fit together to make the track.
OK this one is nearly complete. Added another two sections and got it into arrangement view. I reckon I will do the last bits and bobs when I can this week and then we can move onto something different for the live stream next week. My brain has really been in computer build mode this last week as I built a new Hackintosh and although it's going to make workflow a million times better moving forward, I didn't have much brain power for anything else haha. Back stronger next week! Cheers, Liam
In today's session we are going to continue with the track that we started last week. Is the Potion Seller going to make it in? Are we going to use the Skype ringtone? I can't wait to find out myself. Again we will work on it for about 45 minutes and then we can have a chat about what I've done and I can answer any questions. Feel free to chime in with suggestions in the chat room throughout and I will use them if I think they will work. In a way this is going to be like...
In today's session I am going to start a new track from scratch and work on it for 45 minutes or so. Then we can have a chat about what I've done and I can answer any questions. I am going to try and incorporate some sounds and samples that you lovely people suggested on Instagram. Feel free to chime in with suggestions in the chat room throughout and I will use them if I think they will work. In a way this is going to be like a big group collaboration :D Super duper fun times!
Sorry about the technicals with the stream earlier. This one at 5pm should be more stable I hope! Today I am going to be taking a look through the project file for my track Aunt Wendy's Wedding In Wales which came out on Holding Hands in 2018. You can click on the reminder button on the Youtube video to get an alert when the stream starts and you can ask questions in the comments box before the stream starts if you wish as well. Catch you on the stream!
Today I am going to be taking a look through the project file for my track Mox Diamond which came out on On Loop last November. We will go through each individual part. How I wrote it and how everything fits together.
In this video I go through my process for getting a track ready to mix down. I explain why I choose to keep my writing and mix down projects separate form each other and why I prefer to mix just using audio. Why prepare a mix this way rather than just mix as you go? - When you mix as you go you get excited about adding in more parts and you forget to methodically mix each element.- You often end up just fighting fires. Fixing one element and then realising that it’s messed up another. - Mixing from stems...
