CHRISOK, thank you for clarifying. If a person has a bunch of songs, a person could spend the rest of their life trying to tweak & improve old songs. I guess there is a happy medium in there somewhere. Not the same thing as you, but when I upgraded from a 4-track cassette recorder to a Roland VS-880, I spent a lot of time rerecording dozens of songs until I could not stand it any longer.

CHRISHoly Cow, Bear-Faced Cow! You work on 25 songs at once? Or you are just adding bass to 25 older songs? I typically only allow myself to work on one song at a time. But I am currently juggling 2 songs. About 90% done with one of them.

CHRISI have yet to try EZBass, because they don’t have a demo version that I’m aware of, but I thought this was a good video I stumbled onto:

Thanked by: SpiritCHRISI’m never going to win in the Loudness War. I’ve spent a bunch of time with compression lately trying to improve in that regard though compression/limiting can do things to the audio I don’t like, or easily makes it very fatiguing to listen to. I can still use improvement though. Thank you for listening & commenting!

CHRISsatrianalf,
This song sounds pleasant, though I liked the other song I commented on today quite a bit better.

Intro synths sound very nice! Feel free to tell me what synths you used. The whole song sounds very good! 🙂
In your two other most recent threads, you seem to be missing links to the songs.

Thank you for listening and commenting! Yeah, that is a common problem for me, where the drums get overwhelmed with other sound.

CHRISI agree with you. I have noticed ages ago, whatever I recorded last is quite loud. I want to hear it well to determine if it sounds OK. Then after some time, I keep gradually turning it down until it reaches a decent level. This might take place over several days of working on a song on most days.
Years ago, I saw a statement on some music-related forum where someone said something like: I never finish a musical project. It just gets abandoned.
I thought that was funny. Sometimes I feel like I will keep working on a song until I can’t stand working on it anymore. Then it is finished!

CHRISBear-Faced Cow,
I do use automation to the best of my ability. Sometimes it is easier to look back on something more objectively months or years after I finished recording it. Though my hearing isn’t completely consistent from day to day also. And then there is the issue where l get tired of working on a particular song, and I know it could be a bit better, though I want to work on something new. Ever get that way, where you get your fill of working on a particular song?

CHRISBear-Faced Cow,
Thank you for listening & commenting, I appreciate it! Attempting to listen to “Somewhere in The Sky” objectively on my headphones, I admit the drums get a bit overwhelmed during the chorus (except for the drum fills); but that’s just my headphone/ear/brain combo. I’m going to look around and see if you have any new threads on this forum….didn’t notice any. If you have a song you want me to check out, leave me a link.

CHRISOK, I hear the French like Jazz, so it’s all starting to make sense. About 3 years ago, I spent part of a day in Paris: very amazing!

CHRISsatrianalf,
Thank you for your comments! I don’t think I have ever seen the words “UFO” and “Jazz” in the same sentence, so I had to see what was happening here. I listened to your song. It’s also true you don’t often hear a complex jazz drum beat with a synth(s) like that. It was an interesting listen; I liked it. 🙂 Nice audio quality. What state or country are you from? I am always curious about that when someone comments regarding my music.
