[track] Fling It (updated)

Fling It



I was inspired last night by Agincourtdb's 'Odalisque' to make a song that loops continuously, though not with piano.
It turned out surprisingly well; I am quite happy with it. Even the wife liked it.

Once again, I am a mixing novice, and this time I tried to use a limiter on the main bus. It sounds ok for the most part, but I can tell that it is drowning out the baseline at various points, especially during the 3 measures of arp track in the middle. Not sure how to fix it.
And, once again, I am at a lost at how to end it and make it sound good. I still haven't found a master fade. Any ideas?


[update] This was just going to be a one night project, but enough people told me they liked it, so I added another verse to it and improved the ending. Thanks for all the comments.

Any suggestions are welcome.

enjoy.

    Nice! It's got a very psy-trancey feel to it with lots of subtle changes and polish. I didn't have a problem with the mix, on my speakers. I'd suggest burning it to CD and taking it over to a friend's and/or a stereo shop to have a listen to it there. So far as where to take it/how to end it - I think if you really want to dig deeper, into the songs intellectual potential, there's a lot of progression (you could add more drums, too) to take it but as is, it's a nice relaxing departure to some other stuff I've been hearing lately.


    Thanks for posting it.

    There's a ton of ways to automate mixing in P5. I'd look at doing the tracks individually, before you hit the master fader accessible through the lower-left-hand button below the MIDI/Audio editor.

    Loop Length = 60 seconds / BPM * # of Beats

    listening... i love square and pulse waves. the drums are a bit low in volume. try to give them more presence. maybe a little more reverb. i can see this song playing in the background of a videogame

    THanks for the comments. As I say in the updated post above, I had a lot of people tell me they liked this, so I added another arp verse and cleaned up the ending a bit. Whovever told me about exporting with the 'only export looped section' button, thanks, that works great.

    here is the song: Fling It
