Week 21

Goal at start 5/20
I wanted to do something simple this week because there were some other music related projects I needed to give more attention to, so this is just a simple ambient track with a few elements.

End notes 5/22
During the process of mixing this I was reminded of the fact that I’ve hardly ever got a good result from using compressors (flstudio stock). I’ve consistently heard that compressors are almost always used, but for me they hardly do anything until the sound is too muffled to work. This leads me to believe that must be something I’m not understanding about how to make these tools give a good result.

Plan for next week:
I think next week I want to try layering dubstep growls with other basses or 808s to achieve a fuller bass sound. This is something I’ve been pondering.
