always wondered what something meditative and repetitive like dopesmoker would do as an electronic track, wonder no more, i spent the last 6 months sequencing, arranging and sound designing it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoTqxvPYjTg
NEW roughly mixed and mastered version
i also made a few shorts for people who don't have 55 minutes: shorts playlist
I timestamped it so it's easy to skip to various verses/sections
hello, it's me again with my almost unrelated post at this point
i finally recorded all the tracks, I'm mixing now and it's not going well, i think i reached the point, after 6 months of hearing it loop all the time, where i think it really sucks and that i would delete all of it and unpatch the synth and do something else, like go biking or something lol
i need help with a few items:
should it be a 55 minutes song, or 10 5 minutes songs (on a cd that makes no difference, but streaming sucks for songs that segue into each other (gaps, level mismatch, etc)
let,s say it's a 1 hour track, usually you keep the instruments pan positions within a mix (even within an album), but again, it's 1 hour, won't it be boring to have the same sounds at the same place all the time?
or will it be best if every time one of the 3 main synths plays "alone" it goes in the center and when another synth arrives they both move to their panning spot?
should i use different "sounds" in every section or should i be more traditional like the original and keep the same sounds for the duration?
please smoke a big spliff (or not) and listen on headphones or actual speakers (it sounds like thin garbage on phone/laptop speakers)
if you took time to listen to the whole thing, what took you out of it? what made you stay?
if you did not listen all the way, why? too boring? repetitive? sounds bad? sounds are always the same? etc
