I think this tune still needs some more work with regard to the levels of the individual parts but here's a little sample of what I've been working on lately. This is an MP3 converted from Reason after exporting it directly as a 24-Bit, 96K stereo AIFF file. I then custom tuned the Ozone 3 Mastering Plug-in with the tape saturation simulation effect to get a warmer sound in Peak before I bounced the file with the plug-ins to disk. After the bounce, I encoded the file with Peak to a 320K MP3 file at the highest and slowest encoding speed just prior to exporting the file from Peak.
I think some of the sounds could stand to be a bit louder in the mix but this is yet another sonic experiment. I think I might need to subdue some of the drum parts in the upper mid range of the frequency spectrum and accentuate some mids in the sound clouds that occur here and there during this under six minute song.
All of the drums sounds are Roland TR-808 samples taken from a collection that a friend of mine and I created at Naut Humon's recording studio in San Francisco many years ago for some synthesizer/sampler project. I think they sound pretty nice but I wish I could get my mixes a bit louder without introducing a lot of breathing or pumping like I hear on so many rock/pop style records. Oh well.
Here's the link to the file in case you missed it above:
Here's three songs that can be streamed inline that aren't on the magnatune.com site. I think the quality of my music just gets better and better all the time but that's just because I think my poop has no stink. I am a legend in my own mind after all!
