Cruising the Ice - Mike Z - 26-01-2013
I didn’t think 07-ElecGtr1 fit well with the other tracks. Instead of muting it I chopped it up and placed it in two spots where little else was happening. Here are most other things I did:
Replaced many of the weak snare hits with one of the strong ones.
Edited the transition around 2:18 in 03_SFX1 to keep the tapping sound for one more measure.
Faded 15_Synth out/in three times.
Doubled the MIDI bass an octave lower starting around 3:12.
High-pass filtered all tracks.
Used a little compression on the bass, electric guitars 2 & 3 and mix bus.
Added a quarter note (@113 BPM) delay to guitars 2 & 3.
Took a lot of EQ off the low & high ends of 04_SFX2.
Added short and long reverbs.

Hi Mike, interesting approach, and to me seems it worked nice for this song. Good effort.

Hi n3rd, Thanks for the comment! I still wonder whether 07_ElecGtr1 really went with this song or was perhaps inadvertantly included in a zip at some point.
