New track

[Andrew Tarpinian]

Thanks Tom, I agree. I wanted to use a voice but didn’t have anything, and not much time to figure it out and record something. That’s why the cowbell is there. And yea it could use something a little more organic, it’s a bit cold. I tried to remedy the situation in the mellow part, recording an Omnichord and then Minimoog going through a echoplex but it could use something in the other parts. I felt it needed a melody that told a bit of a story, I might have overcompensated by having too many lines going at once which might have cluttered the point I was trying to make, also should have had them evolve a bit more. I’m still pretty happy with it, from a sound quality perspective I’m excited I got it sounding tight and from a musical one I feel it’s got a good amount of musicality vs. your standard dance tunes.

I would try to add something that catches the listeners attention. (Like you did with the cowbell, but something more powerful) A voice is the first thing that comes to mind...

>> Hey guys, haven’t posted a new track in a while. I signed up for the deadmau5 Masterclass a while back just for fun. They have a contest where you submit a track and 1st place is 10k and a chance for a release on Mau5trap. This track was tough for me from a mix/master perspective because there are so many layers and especially since I’m still learning. I’m using a combo of outboard and plugs. Curious to see what you guys think of this version.
