Hey yo,
I took a little more care with capturing good, in-time takes and really trying to tighten everything up. I also moved the first hits of the kick drum, not on every bar, very slightly forward since this tune is a little slower, otherwise. I think moving them ahead a nudge gives it a faster feel for its tempo.
This is the first track with the new AT4040, so let me know how that sounds? I understand that the verse has the stereo chorus spread and that's something I liked and wanted. Almost a phaser-like sound. The chorus is double tracked with double tracked harmonies panned out, as well.
It's also the first time I've used a different EQ from the stock Studio One 2 stuff. I really liked it and found it easy to use and beneficial...it was a dynamic EQ, and i used it on the master channel for a touch of compression and added top end. I think it gave a good air feeling without being overwhelming, hissy, or fatiguing. I found a decent synth (free) called Dexed. The distorted string sound is one of their presets, but tweaked for more feedback.
Let me know how it came out? thanks!
I've never slept so well,
your eyes are cynical.
I only drag you down.
So far from heaven now.
I'll turn this heart to stone,
we'll make this prison home.
They only drag you down,
so much for heaven now.
I've just been sitting here,
waiting for the sunshine in this home that we've made,
watching from the wayside.
I feel their eyes on me,
cynical as they seem.
You only drag me down,
so much for heaven now...
I save it all, and I drift far and fall.
You only said you were.
