Week 12 mixing and mastering 60s track

hi there guys this is my 12 week of blogging madness and this week we were EQing and mixing down our track. which consisted of of balancing frequencies and compressing sounds but before any of that we tided up the track by taking out all of the unnecessary sounds i.e. like me putting my lovely cuppa tea down on the organ say or me praising my self up at the end of the track. we soon tidyed up the track and added the effects and eventually came to mixing our second masterpiece of work down. one of the main effects we played and installed into the piece was reverb a special effect that most musical artists would have used and still do use to make their voices be heard in a room when Elvis started doing this they had to build chambers that so that sound could bounce around the walls to create the reverb this carried on in till the early seventy's where after, this way of reaveb life musicians started to create and discover other ways to create their reverb nowadays we use state of the art technology to create this. i must say EQing is not the most exciting part of creating and performing music but must be done to get the best sound quality personally i think its quite dull as there's allot to learn about the topic which puts me off theres alot science involved and its alot to take in but all in all i didn't mind just takes time and understanding.


Heres the finished song
