I’m working on an massive emotional brake down full of deep moving pads complete with piano and think about a little vocal chop in there too lead out to a massive build up kicking in with something that will make you wanna shake your booty all night long!!
I’ve got the meldoy for the pads and piano, now its all about getting the sounds right, which is gonna be the hard part - I’m looking for acoustic sounds I think so time to bring out the omnishpere.
Whats you all working on??
I’ll be working on an electro track I have going on. Gotta get everything just right.
Well i’ve just got my arse out of bed, so still half asleep.
I’ll be working more on the NYLP tech remix of my tune ‘theez kidz’.
I’m trying to get a better mix down on this tune I have been working on for the last week or two.
I read an article about mastering in Future Music in the week that really inspired me to get my head deep inside of the mix.
It is without doubt my weakest area, I just don’t have the patience for it normally. But it’s also such a beneficial skill I am determined to get better at it!
whaaaaa???
Dude, I’ve been up since 7:15am! You young ones always gettin a late start to the day.
I’m also working on a breakdown today, but it won’t be as emotional as GoFunk’s. I’ve got all the main elements and I think the arrangement is finalised. I just need the breakdown and maybe some more spot FX and I will be ready to mix.
I’m really excited, this is by far the best ting I have done so far.
Working on nothing today, I done a track last night and been working with drums and bands all week so need to give my ears a rest and have a chilled day!
Going well so far as been to see Harry Potter this morning and now just chilling before a party tonight!
fixin my main track template so that it has my kick and the sends i use and no weird dropouts that were happenin lately
then get a new tune started - got the kick and perc rhythym going
trying out a bassline
and also have traktor open on the laptop so i can mess around with it a bit
might do a new mix in the morning!
bit of a hangover today so not fully up to speed
Just finished all the little ambient noises and fx in my new track so now just preppin everything for the mixdown master which will be happening next week. Its sounding great!
Did you achieve what you wanted today?
I have a breakdown, but I don’t think it is the breakdown. I am going to have a rethink over night.
got my pads layed out, piano sounding epic and main melody a few bit and bobs like plucks etc. Not 100% happy with the sound of the pads so some synth work tomorrow and same for the lead sound before moving onto all the little bits that make the brake and build… still a long way to go but a very good days work for me, pretty happy, improving all the time - just not as fast as I’d like!
What piano did you end up using? I could do with new piano sounds

Ended using the trancepiano in the nexus2 which I think you have! there are a few good piano samples in there. some are a bit ott but remove the fx’s and use abeltons one instead
