A little over my alloted time for this third practice track, but I wanted to go through the process of mixing and diy mastering to see if i could improve. As expected ive made a load of mistakes and learnt a lot, so i'll attempt to note them down below for future ref. So after the first upload of the track, i wanted to get some dynamic sounds in there, and give the track more movement. I originally had the risers, one shots, and drops as 128s, but i found that it was counter intutive to play them with a pad kontrol, despite what my left brain was telling me. I got much better results by previewing them in the browser and laying them out as normal audio tracks as i needed control over the lengths and warping, and it made it easier to see them in audio for me. The other part of the dynamics was glitchy edits, and again i went through a process of trial and error before finding a way that worked. It needs tweaking as it ended up taking too long for my liking, as using stutter edit is a little counter intutive for me as im more used to editing in audio. As a result i was finding that i was avoiding the stutter edits as it seemed too random, so i started off by making my own banks of presets of stutter edits as starting points. Next i decided to resample each track after it had gone through stutter edit, and then edit the results in audio. I did this by dropping...
