    Lunar Dawn - Triglav EP

    in 2016

    Posted

    Mike, thanks for outstanding review as always! Starkraver, well - it is very hard to make this type of music in continuum and not to repeat yourself - that´s what is on my mind all the time. Kolovrat was produced for such a long period because we continuously altered stuff if it sounded "same-ish". On Triglav it went out like: full folk - folk mixed with goa - goa :)

     

    About future plans... We don´t aim on full-on horizons. As I see it from here/now - it´ll be oldschool unreleased materials with oldschool vibe, although still pretty different sounding than usual oldschool. We´ll see, we tend to keep Slavic vibe for sure so the spirit remains in same direction!

    Someone posted a "cheese" video of Astral Projection's "Kabbalah" track which was/is always been my favorite older goa track of all time, so now I am very confused. So HMMM.. help!

    Kabalah was posted there as example of oriental mellos, i think, not as nitzho. It sure isn´t nitzho. ;)

    The only thing I didn't like were the generic (samples of) drums in 1st track

    Good ear there ;)

     

    I find that you heard it "generic" because of quantizing those rhytms, whole track was handplayed through keyboards, via very good Reason sampler. Not all samples are up to "real world instruments" obviouslly ;)

    We lack time, money, space and gear to do this "properly" - we´ve had idea to record something with whole female choir here in Sisak, but it was just not possible. We have to go to Studio Veles in Rijeka where our friends from Svarica band have all the goodies just for the occasion of recording some Balkan materials :P:)

    What music are you listening to right now?

    Best of what Croatia had to offer in last 20+ years. This girl is so amazing. I get tears in my eyes and goosebumps all the way!!! Not quite psy. But psychedelic enough to launch you outta this world :)

    No wonder that we´re constantly wandering through this type of sound while producing new materials, if one is from Balkans, it´s deep in you i guess... :)

     

     

     

    Final Mixdown Tips.

    in Music Making and Production/Industry

    We do 2 things i can reveal to ya folks:

     

    - more headroom on master channel for master guy (cca -6dB to -10dB it depends how low we start)

    - silent test: cutoff volume down completely and then slightly add until you hear first sound. if you hear "whole track" mix is pretty "flat" and should be pretty much ok on any PA. If something pops out in front before you hear whole mix, then its probably too loud anyway. not too bad starting point to go from.

     

    One more advice - no plugins on master channel. Don´t touch level of master channel, instead aim the mix to get to desired value without it. It will force you to practice your skills :)

     

    Ah yeah - and one thing that´s universal - do not trust anyone/anything else but your ears. No ear hears the same. Take track you like the most, but which is in HQ master. Compare your stuff to it just as reference (You don´t have to try to copy it, just to get similar sound in levels and warmth for example). With time, you will get automatic memory of "good sound" and your ears will point you in right direction.

     

    No graphic plugin can tell you whether you did ok or not (although its definately good for general reference), there will always be difference to what your ear hears, but ears are more human and more trainable to get this feeling than steril look of some graphic interface.

     

    My 2 cents :*
