Cool stuff

Like I said, I’ve finished recording for my new video (for the most part). And skrg tengah sibuk editing and mixing. And since lagu ni a little bit more “metal” than yang aku buat sebelum ni, I find it a little challenging to make the sound of the mix acceptable enough.

And in my attempt to learn how to position the tracks properly, I came across this website. Apparently he’s a professional audio technician (sorry, I don’t just call anybody “engineer”). He has a bunch of interesting articles, for newbies like me. And it’s presented in easy to understand language, in casual manner. I like it. So kalo korang nak blaja basics pasal sound editing, check out that website.

Aku dah guna Cakewalk dari zaman Cakewalk ProAudio lagi, but I never cared to learn about how to mix music, how to fill the frequency spectrum properly, how to use parametric EQ correctly, and all kinds of cool stuff that we don’t know about or take for granted when listening to popular music. There’s no way I can learn them all by this weekend and come out with an expertly tweaked mix. But to prevent from being overly obsessed about it and end up not releasing anything (like I tend to be in the past), I’ll just impose my own deadline.

Oh by the way, don’t be scared by the pictures of his gears. You should be able to produce a good mix by relying on the DAW alone, without having to spend thousands on mixers and control boards and stuff, thanks to modern computing technology.
