Sparks for Starters #39: Simply Speaking

This is the second track I've made on Live. I'm giving myself one more to measure whether or not I can produce to the same level of detail that I could in Reason. I think it's getting there for sure.

The mastering is a bit different than in Reason but I think at the very least the voices are mixed in a way that allows each to carry its own share of the landscape and the levels are high enough that you don't have to turn it up to hear and turn it down again when you listen to another song, which is pretty key, you know?

If you have any tips re: mastering, please share.

I don't know how it happened but after getting a couple followers a month, I'm now averaging about 10 new followers a day and I couldn't be more excited.

Sparks for Starters #38: Swing, Pinch, Crash Your Face in the Mulch

Ok folks I'm sure you're wondering, "whatever happened to that 'twice a week' thing?" and I don't blame you. The answer is a new job, new computer, new software.

This is the first time I've used Abelton Live. All the others have been Reason or Logic.
