It's a slog

2017-11-05 21:24:22 UTC  

I think I made that when I was working at Staples when I was 18.

2017-11-05 21:25:44 UTC  

It's weird, the identity of the stuff I wrote is unique to where I was and what I was doing at the time.

There are distinct changes each time I move

2017-11-05 21:28:16 UTC  

Makes sense. My stuff has changed all sorts of ways since I first started, though there is still that same thread.

2017-11-05 21:29:04 UTC  

The fact that I have to struggle to craft decent enough instruments has been a large factor in determining what I can come up with as well.

2017-11-05 21:29:13 UTC  

True

2017-11-05 21:29:25 UTC  

Sometimes, just messing around and making some crazy sound will send me in a whole different direction.

2017-11-05 21:29:41 UTC  

I actually found one cool thing the vocal filter could do and that spawned a whole song.

2017-11-05 21:30:25 UTC  

I got really lucky when I was torrenting finale pro a while ago because it came with a while suite of orchestra instruments. I came so many times

2017-11-05 21:30:48 UTC  

I had no idea

2017-11-05 21:31:36 UTC  

I was about to install it and it asked me if I wanted to install these instruments. Afterwards I checked them and they were damn near live recorded from the sound of them

2017-11-05 21:31:57 UTC  

Changed almost everything I made after that

2017-11-05 21:32:03 UTC  

So much orchestra

2017-11-05 21:35:06 UTC  

Oh, have you played assassin's creed 2?

2017-11-05 21:38:11 UTC  

ermagerd I have a hate hate relationship with that game

2017-11-05 21:38:34 UTC  

I got all the way to the part where you have to have all the scroll or whatever to continue and one of the scrolls glitched so I couldn't get it

2017-11-05 21:40:13 UTC  

sorry I'm trying to finish this track over here, might take me a minute to respond

2017-11-05 21:42:13 UTC  

One of yours, or did you actually try to listen to that long one?

2017-11-05 21:44:30 UTC  

lol no I'm working on my own

2017-11-05 21:44:41 UTC  

I'll try listening to that in a bit

2017-11-05 21:44:58 UTC  

Oh Lord don't bother lol

2017-11-05 21:45:41 UTC  

Reason I asked about ass creed is because I think you might recognize this

2017-11-05 21:47:17 UTC  

Man it's annoying when there's one or two tiny little parts of the song that break overhead.

2017-11-05 21:48:32 UTC  

Tone it down nigga

2017-11-05 21:51:22 UTC  

nah it's good

2017-11-05 21:51:27 UTC  

here's the updated version

2017-11-05 21:51:28 UTC  

The one problem I run into most while mixing is bass drowning out everything else. I want the bass to be heavy, but I wasn't to be able to hear everything else

2017-11-05 21:51:32 UTC  

tell me wht ya think

2017-11-05 21:51:53 UTC  

I just have a lot of shit going on

2017-11-05 21:52:02 UTC  

I tend to layer a bunch of stuff to get a full sound

2017-11-05 21:52:30 UTC  

turn that shit up bruh

2017-11-05 21:52:39 UTC  

pretty happy with the drop ]

2017-11-05 21:53:08 UTC  

The beat is fuckin tight

2017-11-05 21:53:20 UTC  

And the bass line is deep as fuck

2017-11-05 21:53:34 UTC  

And the melody is really good

2017-11-05 21:53:45 UTC  

Definitely something I'd listen to

2017-11-05 21:54:11 UTC  

stickin those vocal samples in there with a shit ton of reverb really took it up a notch

2017-11-05 21:55:08 UTC  

Totally
