I’ve been adding quite a few finishing touches over the last few weeks to this track. Mainly, I’ve been reading up on the mastering process, track levels, compression, side chaining and the like. It’s actually quite a complicated and difficult process, and I have to admit that after reading about it extensively I would be pushing it if I said that I comprehended more than 5% of all I read. But, with the knowledge gained I did the best I could for now. The levels on this latest version should be significantly better than on the initial one, meaning that the beat is much punchier and meatier, and the baseline no longer interferes with the beat and the rest of the song. All the different instruments are also better balanced, so there should be nothing overly quiet or loud and distracting in the track. As a result of all the above, the track should be much closer in volume to commercial releases, although it still is not quite as loud, but at least it is within a reasonable decibel level. I’ve tested it on several speaker configurations and it sound pretty good on anything but laptop speakers which simply don’t have the range to reproduce the beats and the bass line properly – so if you’re using a laptop, please plug in some decent headphones. Anyhow, enjoy and hit me back with comments and suggestions.
