[Edit] The song's up! Check it out here! Last Days of Summer
Hey, I'm just making another promo for my 6 minute happy techno song due for release on the 29th February. It's called "Last Days of Summer", and it's pretty much been finished for a while now, but it lacked a certain... polish and professionality of it. I've spent a fair chunk of today working on buffing it up for the release, and listening back, I've found that it sounds a lot like one of my other songs, "Eternal Train", except that it's a lot longer, it's a bit slower and uses different drums, there's more patterns, and today, I've gone through and added a crowd cheer sample and more panning and some extra colour to make it more exciting, I want it to feast your ears with wonderful happy music. I think the bass is pretty weak, I might try and fix that up, the drums have a heavy bass punch to them, which is awesome, so, I'll finish it up and post it tomorrow, a bit after lunch time (my timezone), so you can probably expect it a bit after midnight on the 29th ;D
I feel really good about this, because I composed it quite quickly, but I've had it sitting around for a while doing nothing, and I listened back, and I still really like it, so hopefully that's a good sign. So, there's been a large gap between the composing part and the technical mixing part. The mixing on this song is so much easier than "Man In the Smoking Mirror", that one took me a few days solidly plugging away at it, and even after it, I'd play it back, and think, damn, I really should have changed that, or whatever, but whatever, so yeah.
Check the song out tomorrow, leave a review and a vote, and I'd be really happy if you did that. I can understand if you give a vote lower than what I expect, but I'd like constructive reviews if it goes below a 4, because I'm proud of it, and I want to make it the best that it can be.
Ok, I've done a little more distracted rambling than I intended. Don't forget, check out "Last Days of Summer" on February 29.
Cheers.
