in the same 'space' maybe?
Thanks for the comment. I might see, hear, what you mean, although
considering the number of tracks going on, 1 drum, 1 bass, 1 keyboard
(duplicated) to which 1 horns, 1 lead and 1 flute are added, separately
most of the time, and then the chorus buildup and chorus section has
lead, brass and strings over the drums/bass/keyboard tracks. So it's
rather minimal regarding this.
The drums by themselves are busy, not necessarily giving a clear cut,
and are not sharply defined. They were originally but I tried to wrap
them with the bass sounds to give a dreamy atmosphere that would open up
somewhat in the chorus.
And as I learn about mixing and making music, I try things out. The
output is certainly not ready for any kind of 'official'
statement or release. That does not make the pieces less enjoyable
though, I find. Might be that I'm used to listen to all kind of crappy
recordings, extracting the essence of things while listening, which
makes the output I am doing since a bit more than a year now sound so
good to me, in comparison :) Still a lot of work to do, though.
Cheers.
