Good evening.
Found a great song today by Gotye: Somebody that i used to know
It's one of those songs with a great hook. During the evening I have tried to punch it up a bit. The levels are still way off but I do think it has potential.
Listen to the work in progress here:

Just sent in my first demo
Hello.
I have been quite productive this week. I managed to finalize the song I posted in my last entry and have also sent it to a label. The general feedback from friends and others have been that it is a pretty decent track, and I think so too. However, I don't think anything's is going to come out of it, at least not yet.
You can listen to the final version here:

The first version was actually mixed while the soundcards internal equalizer was set to "Rock" instead of being off - which resulted in some rather crappy mixing...
Anyway, hope you like it!

Happy New Gear!
Happy new year!
I haven't really been that active music wise the last month. Christmas and having a child does that to you...
However, since I was so nice last year santa has given me a couple of great things.
First and foremost I got my AKG701 headphones. These are great and really a fantastic mastering tool in lieu of good monitors. In comparison with listening to my old HD-25 its really is new brave world.
In addition I have gotten an Onkyo A-5VL digital receiver. This is actually very good since I now do not have to rely on the built in Digital/Analog converter included in the soundcard integrated on the motherboard. This will provide an even more detailed and accurate sound.
And lastly, I have also bought a new computer. Since I employ a lot of software instrument and effect plugs it takes a lot of hardware to avoid lag. I haven't gotten it yet though...
This is a new song I'm working on. It is, to a large part, a twin song of my first song posted on this blog. I came up with the main synth track when dabbling with that song and realised that it sounded great. I'm particularly happy with the pumping aspect of the song, which is also an effect of VERY heavy sidechaining. This is a preview - I will try and finalize it during the week.
