Oh hey Sam.

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.

Progress Report: Moving Out Again

Once upon a time I got kicked out of my house for purchasing a motorcycle without my parents' knowledge. This strange R&B number came out of it, written by Charlie and I, which was an awful lot of fun and a nice departure from the usual style of music that happens in his kitchen. Here's that:



Recently I decided that the song could use an update, and that I needed a way to further grow the electro/house thing that's been happening in Logic lately, and this is what's happening with that:



The clip is only an intro, the first verse, and an instrumental. I'll update this here blog as things move closer to finished product.

Sparkling Charles

Took photos for Charlie, for his submission to the Parsons Challenge. The concept is all his, but I got to exercise my shutter finger, and feel good about the results. More photos on Flickr.

About Taxidermist Now!

Taxidermist Now! is a daily "capsule" for artful projects and happenings and the progression thereof. More for myself than anyone else, I'll be posting here (hopefully) at the end of every day in an effort to organize and reflect on the things I have created and worked on/am creating and working on.

Make something cool every day.
