No time for new music. Facing the possible new Cautiva stuff, I’m actually working with acoustics and experimenting with “ad-hoc” software technics of treatment of the sound and during the last two weeks I’ve had little time to think about playing guitar or writing new music.
This “pre-production moment” is a necessary step which I hope to finish… someday! :-P. Just the idea is to do everything I could reach a professional sound for Cautiva. I think that it’ll have me busy for a few of weeks, but if I’m going to make new music for Cautiva, I want the best sound I could. What I’m worry is that I’m going to need too many effects and plugins working and I’ll have to divide the project of recording of a piece in a few of individual projects (recording, rendering, mixes, etc.) and I believe actually that this way isn’t fluent and I don’t know if it’ll be practical to record… I hope to find other way. Maybe working with a new computer everything works properly… I don´t know. I must just continue!
Meanwhile, I share a remaster that today I’ve made on my Testament cover released originally in the «Human» album. It’s a test of some of my new “ad-hoc technics in process” and I hope you like the track. The innovation here is that I’m using a mastering EQ based on convolution in the way of catching previously the “sound” of a previous track working as model. After three days experimenting with this idea based on guitars, drums and whole tracks, I’m really surprised with the results. Maybe I make a mistake, but I’m sure 100% that the EQ based on convolution and models is the future for a lot of things in music production, not only reverb (it was the beginning of all this), but EQ, simulation of analogic equips and so on… This and volterra kernels in Nebula, especially in a limit context as home studios like mine.
The new remaster of my «Into The Pit» cover isn’t a pulish work, just it was a test and it could be better in a few of ways, but I liked the result and I want to share it with you. You can listen it in the Independent tracks section.
Have a good day,
