I worked home on both days and as I wanted to pick up composing again I decided on working on that and improve my skills. I wanted to start a remix, but I couldn't figure out the right beat so I started randomly with a few drums. This set the base immediately for a song and I started expanding it.
I worked 6 hours on it on monday. It couldn't be much longer because I had biblestudy and because it was the last time we stayed quite long.
Thanks to having a break I came up with an idea on Tuesday. I wanted to try to add a piece that would sound a bit like Vergil's battle. I at least wanted to try to add those drums and similar cellos and work with the choir. How the rest would go I would see at that moment.
On tuesday I spent 9 hours on the song and finished it o.o I did have one long break. We did have to do grocery shopping at 5 and we were home at 7:30. So that could clear my mind a bit.
Because of what I have seen at the studio I could also apply this to my work. How the drums were set up helped a lot already. I used to work with only bass drums which sounded crappy in the end; I left the snare and gongs and cymbals completely out.
I do use bass, snares, toms and cymbals now and that shapes a song a lot better. It was also easier for me to change the drums which I struggled with a lot at the beginning.
I also applied the maximizer in the mixing process. Could be I used it wrong, but I never used it before.
It gives the song a much better sound and is a lot louder overall. So I do still have to learn working with settings when mixing.
A lot more music will come. I have many days off these two upcoming weeks and I also got asked to compose music for an audioplay!
Here is the song:
