V-2

Taking the track from last week, I kept hearing places for it to go, but wasn't sure where that was. Thinking back on what I've been learning this past year, I wanted to make a track that used all of those lessons and skills to make an end-of-year sample of what I achieved. While I ended up having to compress the track more, and sacrificed a thick kick for a weaker one (I still have trouble getting thick hitting kicks), as compared to the way the instruments sat in last week's beat, I was able to fit in several overlapping sounds to make an arrangement and mix that is heading closer to where I think my style is going. This year I learned 1) How to make a track (Week 1 I finished my first track) 2) How to link different sections of a track cohesively 3) Create sequenced beats 4) Write a chip song with a guitar (kind of) 5) Mix - the importance of small amounts of reverb in creating depth and separation of sounds 6) Pan instruments and give them space7) How to accept when it's time to rest; and when it's time to stay up until 2:00am because I'm learning something exciting and don't want to stop.
