Recreate the Moment (WB09)

By spry on March 5, 2016 10:21 pm

I kinda went over my self imposed limit of one hour this week and took about 1 hour and 30 minutes on this track.  i got carried away and by the time i realized it i was locked in lol.  spent 15 minutes recording ukulele chord sample loops, got carried away writing drums and accompaniment for 50 minutes and realized i was out of time to finish the song properly so i decided to finish the song right.  spent 15 min recording the composition, 10 minutes mixing, arranging and mastering and then exported without the usual bounce down of the side chain.

Still amazing that you did it that quickly.  What do you mean when you say "usual bounce down of the side chain?"  I don't understand side chain compression and am trying to learn.

I usually bounce down all my sidechained tracks to a dummy track and then turn off all the fx on the original tracks.  that way when i mix its all audio and doesnt drag the cpu down and i can get a good mix of wet/dry by mixing back the instruments.  this week i forwent all that :X
