Synth Swells and Fills for Intro

108 minutes

Notes:

When comparing my mix to the original audio its important to compare at the same relative overall levels in order to more easier tell relative levels in the mix for the various parts i.e. in comparing to the reference track (the audio for So May it Secretly Begin). See #1 , for my work in progress mix for the Intro.

Notes:

this section does not have any notewothy technical aspects.Scale lines with terminating end of phrase stops i.e. coupled notes.The composition completes with a chord rasgueado which is the main technical lesson. Its an example of surrounding some technique with pleasing music i.e. keeping the musicality after all its music.

Notes:

Today I learned how to use a cymbal choke in Addictive Drums. Basically one enters a “choke” note at the spot where one wants the choke to take effect i.e.after the cymbal hit. Turns out I decided not to use it but I learned something new.

Added back string swell to coincide with bass note on 2.2+ as well as the flute fill in at the end of the bar. Nailing down the flute sound has been difficult with the Apple instruments , not tried yet with Kontact. Maybe something EQ will make it blend well enough.

Getting rim shot bleeding into OH/Eoom mics , Addictive Drums has controls for that. One needs to go to the kit piece editor and tone down the vol on the room and overhead mics. See #1.
