Over the last few days i've been working on a new track. It came together pretty quickly and i wanted to try out the hang drum instrument and the strings. Ive also just upgraded to Ableton 9, which is awesome, (although i started this in the beta version as it took 5 days or so for my order to be processed). Im thinking along the lines of playing it live if it turnes out well and its inspired by Alan Watts and OTT I will update the process when i get chance as i've been keeping a rough log in my google calendar, but i wanted to post this when it had got to a basic arrangement stage that i was happy with. I used to find the arranging part difficult, until i simplified the process, and now my next goal is to work on the edits, and making the arrangement interesting. This means adding risers, fills, and lots of editing, so im going to try that out and then if all goes well post it up. I figured instead of updating the audio file in the orginal post like with the first two test tracks, it might be more useful to show the how it changed. Im going to set a basic level so that its listenable, and then hopefully the next one will be produced to show the difference it makes to newer music makers. I have been purposely mixing along the way to try and avoid the pitfalls of the last two tracks where they got swamped with frequencies, and so far it sounds a lot cleaner....
