The Mastering Process

is a long one.

I've listened to this song over and over and over for three weeks straight now. On headphones, in the car, in my brother's car, on the iMac's built-in speakers, through some beige computer speakers circa 1992, all in the name of making this damn diddy sound decent. I threw out the idea of RIAA standard EQ and compression weeks ago when it crushed the dynamics entirely, and have since tweaked every frequency of every track at every point of the tune to make the mix "pop" the way it should. Automation is a bitch.

Thankfully, after all the work the track sounds fucking good. I now entirely understand why all those trance-electro songs I made daily in FLStudio in 9th grade sounded so terrible. The more you know.



[Fake Edit] This will be the last entry about this fucking song.
