Ross of Ottawa<p>Watching vintage <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HowItsMade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HowItsMade</span></a> videos. I'm on season one – streaming via <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Tubi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tubi</span></a>.</p><p>I love the shots in Montreal's Dorchester Square where they introduce each segment. The copy is usually awkward with sudden unexplained jargon. </p><p>I assume the scripts must've been written in French then just translated poorly. Word choices are sometimes strange and often weirdly colloquial.</p><p>All of that of course is what made it so charming and popular. Plus of course all the fantastic factory footage.</p>
Ether Diver<p>My favorite song? Well, like picking a favorite child but unlike that situation, no one's feelings are gonna be hurt so... I'd say "Psychedelic Ghost Story" overall but it's close! "The Mystic Swims..." is very close for me and there's nothing I don't like.</p><p>But I guess "Dream Vessels on the River of Time" works the least well for me in hindsight. </p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/PsychedelicGhostStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PsychedelicGhostStories</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/ProductionDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProductionDiary</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/PostMortem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PostMortem</span></a></p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Songwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Songwriting</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MakingMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MakingMusic</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Production" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Production</span></a></p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicProduction</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Workflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Workflow</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HomeRecording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeRecording</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HowItsMade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HowItsMade</span></a></p>
Ether Diver<p>And the <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MPC</span></a> of course... 85% of the effects on the album are from the MPC. I used a bunch of its plugin synths. Its <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/workflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workflow</span></a> and capabilities shaped the album from beginning to end.

Ether Diver<p>The <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MicroFreak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MicroFreak</span></a> was both a driver of the album's sound ("New Machine Gods" wouldn't be remotely the same without it) and a shockingly flexible chameleon when needed (it's everywhere -- bass, drums, leads, pads, fx, frigging VOCALS!). Wouldn't trade it for the world.

Ether Diver<p>My primary goal for the album was simply to continue my development as a creator from my last release -- to make an album that was better written, better sounding and more indicative of where I was at creatively. And I hoped to build on my successes with the last release -- in terms primarily of number of listeners/stream, but also in terms of sales. </p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Songwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Songwriting</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MakingMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MakingMusic</span></a></p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicProduction</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Workflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Workflow</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HomeRecording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeRecording</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HowItsMade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HowItsMade</span></a><br> <br><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/EtherDiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EtherDiver</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MyAlbum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyAlbum</span></a></p>

Ether Diver<p>And I actually kept my first mastering pas! It wasn't perfect but I was frankly exhausted and more than ready to be done. I was concerned I was going to start making things worse if I kept at it, so I released it!

Ether Diver<p>I started with a preset on the maximizer and tweaked it to my needs. I used very modest settings overall. A little bit of boost on the highs for most every track, some mid shaping (mostly small cuts) and whatever else the track needed. Then a bit of limiting (not much, less than 10 db reduction in all cases, almost always less than 5) to finish it.</p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/PsychedelicGhostStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PsychedelicGhostStories</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/ProductionDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProductionDiary</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Songwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Songwriting</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MakingMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MakingMusic</span></a></p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicProduction</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Workflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Workflow</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HomeRecording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeRecording</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HowItsMade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HowItsMade</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Mastering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastering</span></a></p>
Ether Diver<p>Once I had some mixes I was more or less comfortable with (and I definitely have things on every track I would go back and tweak... but it was time to let them go) I transitioned to <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/mastering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastering</span></a>.

I am going to try to be more organized in the future (like, for example, not putting a bunch of foley into a drum track just because I have some open pads on the drum program) to save myself some trouble...</p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/PsychedelicGhostStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PsychedelicGhostStories</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/ProductionDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProductionDiary</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Songwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Songwriting</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MakingMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MakingMusic</span></a></p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicProduction</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Workflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Workflow</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HomeRecording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeRecording</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HowItsMade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HowItsMade</span></a><br> <br><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/EtherDiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EtherDiver</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MyAlbum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyAlbum</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Mixing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mixing</span></a></p>
Ether Diver<p>I finished up my mixes around Jan 23-24, somewhere in there. It was basically two full drafts. Did a mix of everything, did some test listens, then a round of edits and revisions, then more test listens. Then I was ready to master! </p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/PsychedelicGhostStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PsychedelicGhostStories</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/ProductionDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProductionDiary</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Songwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Songwriting</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MakingMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MakingMusic</span></a></p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicProduction</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Workflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Workflow</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HomeRecording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeRecording</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HowItsMade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HowItsMade</span></a><br> <br><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/EtherDiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EtherDiver</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MyAlbum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyAlbum</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Mixing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mixing</span></a></p>
Ether Diver<p>Seems obvious... hell, it *is* obvious, but it hadn't occurred to me until I heard it in one of my half ignored mixing tutorials and then it was like OH DUH. Anyway, that was the main key to me getting this done. Just knowing where to start and a rough plan to follow was like, 90% of the battle.</p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/PsychedelicGhostStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PsychedelicGhostStories</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/ProductionDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProductionDiary</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Songwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Songwriting</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MakingMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MakingMusic</span></a></p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicProduction</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Workflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Workflow</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HomeRecording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeRecording</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HowItsMade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HowItsMade</span></a><br> <br><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/EtherDiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EtherDiver</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MyAlbum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyAlbum</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Mixing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mixing</span></a></p>
Ether Diver<p>1) determine the most important element(s) of the song; mix to those. 2) Stick to tools and processes you understand* 3) always trust what your ears are telling you, even if it contradicts what you've heard as the "right way" to do something.</p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/PsychedelicGhostStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PsychedelicGhostStories</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/ProductionDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProductionDiary</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Songwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Songwriting</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MakingMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MakingMusic</span></a></p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicProduction</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Workflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Workflow</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HomeRecording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeRecording</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HowItsMade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HowItsMade</span></a><br> <br><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/EtherDiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EtherDiver</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MyAlbum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyAlbum</span></a></p>
