Day 323 / Monolero

January 23rd, 2011
 
Sunday on set was pretty slow.  Almost arduously slow but at least it wasn’t a late night.
 
I went home determined to finish my track.
 
Tonight was better than last night.  It was good to step away and come back to the song.  I didn’t hate it as much this time.  The tempo is very slow and I think this could have been effecting my feelings on the track.  It has a very bolero feel to it.
 
I mostly focused on mixing but I did add a few more samples, including the classic one from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly which I think sounds great.  I also added some of the tape sounds I got from my experiments on Day 320 / Wow & Flutter.  Lastly, I added plugin effects and automated some parameters.
 
In the end, I think the track turned out all right.  I still don’t know if it turned out better than my original version on Day 302 but this time I thought there were some good moments that weren’t there before.
 
Feel free to have a listen below.  And definitely check out everyone else’s tracks and download the full album here.
 
Nevertheless, please enjoy!
