Turning 20 in less than a week.

Lots of times over the years I hypnotised myself into thinking things like "when everyone hears the 24 bit version of this live set they're gonna freak out about the increased dynamic range in the reverb tails" lol.

As my birthday is coming up I've been thinking about getting some funding for some studio monitors. I'm not awesome at what I'm doing, and I still have a long way to go before I can go to sleep, thinking "now this is proper mixing".

I have a couple of Sennheiser HD 25s. Great headphones. Great at ...

I like it!

Soundcloud transcodes to 128K. This is why it sounds terrible.

Eh, they're too late though.

I was kind of expecting that open hi-hat to come back in when the beat sorta drops around 2:27 though.

Hmm, I get what you mean.

But from what I've heard, it's also a common "trick" to bring in the lead synth almost solo after the big drop, and after that add the percussion as the song ...

They should rename it Ableton Intuition, then.

And Logic isn't always logic, IMO. It's far from, at times.

I had my MacBook Pro stolen about a month ago. Unfortunately I couldn't track it, because I was waiting for the iCloud stuff to happen (which happened like a few days after it got stolen).

Have a word with Ableton David, maybe he can help.

How come? Surely a sticky isn't too much to ask for in these days of chaos and financial crises.

Needs some mastering. It's not so much that the mix is a bit flat, but it sounds unbalanced and all over the place.

The mid pulse-like bass has a gnarly and slightly annoying sound, because it doesn't seem to fit in, and the sub bass needs to be tamed.
