I'M BACK!
This was the song I had planned for week 10, but didn't have time to set up/record. Everything recorded/mixed/mastered on the Tascam DP-24SD.
Vocals split out of my TA-1VP into my V22 Vocoder and parallel with the Eventide H90 (same "Modern Vox" preset with lowered formants as week 9/Hollow). Summit is playing the ambient background and I consolidated a bunch of gear into a new Iridium Core which is doing the other synth part (badgear was right - it is serum for old people). I feel like I'm really converging on a consistent hardware setup that I like.
The preset on my Summit had a running LFO that would play a cool sound without being keyed. I thought would make a cool fade in/out sound. It also wasn’t synced to the BPM of my track. That coupled with some different drum rhythms than I normally use, and I was completely unable to play/count along for a guitar track on top of it this week.
Mixing/mastering the track was a bit difficult - seems to be a lot of BASS in it I had to keep chopping so it didn't sound good on my headphones but horrible on my laptop. The compressor definitely brings the drums up a lot more than I had hoped too, but the limiter is doing work.
