The song starts out with some percussion samples that continue throughout the song.
I layered a 2 different sample tracks along with some kick/snare/high-hat.
I came up with the base groove that starts out the track and it evolved from there.
I made all the instruments from scratch going for sounds that felt like they fit the vibe.
Now the hard part, mix/mastering.
So, this was the most challenging mastering I’ve done.
I really had to dig deep into my skills I’ve developed over the past year and EQ each track so it all sat nicely together.
It just felt like there was a lot of sonic content all fighting for the same space and upon first listen it just didn’t sound like the m8 version after exporting to stems.
I did some EQ in the m8 on individual instruments but I’m not sure that made it to the stems, need to research that.
At times the track feels a little busy but overall I’m pleased with the outcome and the decisions I made along the way.
It’s always nice when you feel yourself dancing to your own music
Enjoy!
