Bouncing around

Been bouncing down individual tracks or 'stems' to send to a friend.

I've written a drum and bass tune  - just 2:26 at the moment - needs some structural change, more, may be a middle...and an end? But it sounds great. Definitely sending that off to Neil in Sweden. It will be on soundcloud soon.

Pro Tools is a bugger to do this work from - as you need to solo each track one by one and then record them separately. In Logic Pro you can just press a button that says Export All Tracks or similar. Not sure that it does grouped tracks or how it does effects like reverb though.

I've also done a remix of a track by Hey Ocean! called Big Blue Wave. It was in one of those remix competitions... I used Logic Pro for this. I've been tinkering with it for 1 year or so now if not more. Did a bounce the other day but on listening I realised that there was not enough treble - or high frequencies. I had further processed the vocal too. It sounded good but I ended up just chucking a bit of high frequencies on the hats, ripping out the lead vocal processing, and tinkering with the big percussion and drums to fatten the snare and deepen the kick. Not quite there - but nearly. It's a busy track. The reason i am doing it is more for the challenge. It's in 6/4 which is interesting to write rhythm too. It's quite poppy though and it's been a good challenge to get that uplift feel on the chorus.
