update: ok content is slow and im busy learning more stuff rn but here's a quick rundown of what im working on👇

1. completely unprompted and original fnaf song and animation. song is like 95% done and im almost done with the storyboard for the video, then it has to be animated and lit and rendered and ughhh🫩 (but it'll be worth it if it comes out how i imagine)

2. gaslight district song. instrumental's basically done but ive been having a tough time writing lyrics. it's probably my favorite song I've ever made tho. still gotta ask [force] the features to do vocals when im done writing it.

3. fnaf 3 song (monsters 2) [won't actually be called monsters 2]. fairly early stages still but it sounds sick so far. maybe ill post a teaser in my

edit: ok bruh so I saved this post and then edited it later and idk why it didn't save the edits (that's why the last part just cuts off abruptly) but whatever ig, I don't feel like rewriting it lol

Just a random thought I felt like sharing. I've been thinking a bit differently about how I mix lately. It feels like for so long I've been chasing the overproduced high-fi "radio" sound, if you will. (Which I'm sure is partly why some people think I use ai, but that's a whole other discussion.) But at a certain point that kind of mixing just ends up becoming a wall of noise and you can't really tell where one sound starts and another begins (sonically), and as a result, there's not much high end separation between elements. As far as I'm aware, this approach has come about because of the loudness wars, where everyone squashes the mix and removes basically all dynamics so the master can be as loud and "good" as possible. So far, I think I've done reasonably well at mitigating the negative effects (whether because of my experience OR inexperience). If you want a clear nerdcore example of what I mean, CG5 has definitely fallen into this mixing style over the last year or two (ie: Masquerade Party, Ethereal Workshop).

To be clear, I'm not necessarily saying that mixing like this is a bad thing, but it's become more clear to me over time that the average consumer doesn't REALLY care about how loud the master is. The only real purpose of the overproduced style is impressing other mix/master engineers. This is especially clear when you consider how there's plenty of simplistically-produced indie songs hitting the top 10 chart nowadays because they get popular on tiktok and instagram and such.

ANYWAYYYY, I've been listening to more movie scores and pre-2000s music recently, and it's like the polar opposite. You can tell every single sound apart, everything has so much more DETAIL, and yet it still sounds like one coherent mix (especially for movie soundtracks, and ESPECIALLY for musicals where clarity is everything since you have to be able to understand what the characters are singing).

Now to the actual point: over the last few weeks, I've been backtracking away from the squashed sound in my production and am now trying to be more deliberate with how I mix. I haven't been making things wide just for the sake of being wide. I haven't been slapping 800 effects on every track. I haven't been deathly afraid of the midrange to the point of bawling my eyes out. I think this shift will be pretty apparent in my next few songs. Anyway, I know this was kinda a random and boring post if you don't make music, but if you read the whole thing, then thanks :)

obv no hate to this person, but it's kinda crazy how in less than 2 years, we've gone from "wow! this song sounds great! this person/people must be good at what they do!" to "hmmm, this sounds great...it must be ai"
