If I can't see you, you can't see me.
Here's a song just completed.
The other half of Weekend Astronauts is on the guitars. Just a little tune that could mean anything.
Weekend Astronauts - Hidden Faces
This one follows our typical approach, except we used an actual (not perfect) recording of his guitar licks for the main idea then built around it. This is another song that I utilized sidechain compression, using a copy of the kick as a trigger. You should hear it in most stuff, barely. I have the entire music routing through that sidechain. It ducks the kick only. More of a creative effect, I guess, but it does make the kick more apparent what with not being drowned out via frequency overlapping.
All plugins are either stock in Sonar or Waves. Synths = stock. Signature rise/dropper, of course that's in there. I've been using it since 2004, I'm not going to stop now! Oh!! I did finally get to use Waves Z-noise. Originally the guitars came to me with quite a bit of noise because the partner is basically just recording directly into a computer from a pedal. I knocked a lot of that out, but you'll still hear a bit of squeal and buzz in the parts that actually contain significant signal. Z-noise is a beast though. Lets you "learn" the primary frequencies of the audio over a span of time and then raise the noise reduction threshold so that only frequencies that are not part of the primary sound in the recording are then reduced. Worked wonders.
As for the free loop, I don't know which one to provide. You guys tell me!
