(2/14/2011) Mixing and mastering is a tad better than that of my previous releases. I learn something new every day. I hope this is something you can enjoy! More tracks to come! :D

Jon Duran - Over The Top (Original)

So basically, I started this project back in December. It's just been sitting there in my " Music" folder chillen. Well I decided to finish it so I wouldn't forget, because I have a crappy memory! After lots n lots of trial n error, my mixing and mastering techniques are becoming more and more simple. When I first started in the world of mixing alone, I would add an effect here, an effect there, compress the crap out of everything and end up with a MESS. These days, mixes are alot more clean and organized, and just flat out 'simple'. All you need are a teaspoon of each of the basic elements. Volume, EQ, Panning, Compression, and Limiting. I'm excited about far I've come since my first upload.

Castaway - Time vs Money (Original)

Now That's the Stuff (Original)

Still working on the mastering aspect, but I think I nailed the musical aspect on this one!!

To the Best of Us (Original Mix)

This is actually my first production using Ableton.

Living In A Lonely World (Journey Remix)

It's been quite an adventure, constantly learning. Mastering quality is getting better and better. Now I can start focusing on the fun part... the MUSIC! I'm hoping this will be my last single before my upcoming EP. Stay tuned for more original tracks!!! :D
