Lose / Chasing Saints

The keyboard riff started it all ~ this one has been the track on which I have kept trying and trying to realize my vision for it.  As I learned more, I kept going back to it.  I recently watched a video on Slate's Academy website showing Chris-Lord Alge mixing a track and his approach to drums is very minimalist - odd because he is known for a huge drum sound.  Just EQ and light compression.  I went back to this track a stripped all the processing I had applied, which was a lot, and reworked it with his approach.  

All leads are comp'd from six takes.  the opening riff just fell out the sky.  Could never reproduce it.  Synths are sounds from my Alesis Quadrasynth - an oldie now, but a goodie.  Bass line as well.  Sidechaining with the kick really helped give the bass some movement.  

Written, performed, recorded, mixed & mastered by me @ IofNewt Studios.

Remixed Dec 2019.

Lyrics...
Back To You
Written by London Lawhon 3/1/2014

Can’t forget our past love. 
Can’t live regretting it all.
Our mistakes weren’t worth making.
I couldn’t help myself, in love, I’d be bound to fall.
It’s the darkness that hurts the most.
It’s the lonely that chills my bones.
It’s the scars that hide the truth.
But It’s my heart that makes me run right back to you.
You were one, I should’ve never let go.
A memory of you that’s all I know.
You turned your back, on love in all. 
Tearing up my heart into pieces, to the ground you let them fall.
It’s the darkness that hurts the most.
It’s the lonely that chills my bones.
It’s the scars that hide the truth.
But It’s my heart that makes me run right back to you.
I know it’s wrong to want you. After all you’ve put me through.
But I’m helpless, I’m not whole. But I gotta let you go.
It’s the darkness that hurts the most.
It’s the lonely that chills my bones.
It’s the scars that hide the truth.
But It’s my heart that makes me run right back to you.

Trouble Is...

Blue on Black

We’re kicking off the show with a short mini-series covering every aspect of the mastering chain in turn – levels, EQ, compression, limiting and metering.

We’re going to be starting at the end and working backwards – and in case you’re wondering why, Ian explains during the show !

So in this episode we cover the “Three M’s” of mastering- and to find out what they are, you’ll need to listen to the show.
