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.
