oh look a demo [no ai playlist]

Описание: hey, thanks for clicking. This is a bunch of demos i made last month for a project where I wanted to create an hour of new music. This version of the mix contains updated mixes for a lot of the older songs in the project.

Hope you enjoy!

Made in ableton live and davinci resolve. I used Vital with Valhalla SuperMassive for most of the sound design. Leave comment if you're interested to know more i guess

Track listing is below if you wanna click through

39:17 - Oil Today Power Tomorrow
43:14 - The Helicopter
48:01 - Tragedy or Hope
50:28 - Design for Dreaming
54:42 - The Party's Over

My notes at this point on these demos:

Volcanoes is ok, but parts of that have level issues as well as needing a bit more saturation
Roads to Romance has some phase issues I think, definite issues with high end fizz as well :o
Rochester might need to be a bit brighter
The Big Bounce is close to complete but the sounds could be a bit more stereo or something, it's a bit one dimensional
Men and Jobs needs a new mix to clean up some stereo issues and put some brightness back in
I think it's Match Your Mood but some of tracks definitely have too much sibilance on the lead synths
This mix features the updated mix of Design for Dreaming compared to the individual upload
Some of the tracks have a better first mix than others so need some more feedback on those mixes. Oil Today Power Tomorrow, Color it Clean and The Party's Over are all made with an improved mix and mastering chain so any feedback on those is appreciated.

I'm working at the moment to improve the mixes of all these tracks, will all be released in the near future

There is no AI involved in the making of any of my demo tracks or videos. Started this channel as a place to create stuff that wasn't SLOP so started making music and videos. Some of my tracks are pretty complete but some are really in a demo phase. Like to share it so people can see that a track doesn't always turn straight into the finished product. Please support real artists and stop clicking on the AI chill videos with the the blue thumbnails, we gotta support the arts out here folks.

I work in Ableton Live mostly and use Valhalla Supermassive and Vital for most of my sound design. I only use free plugins so the mix is pretty DIY, the TDR Nova EQ can make a big difference for people if you've never tried it. I would also recommend their compressor the Kotalnikov, which I also use. Other than that, most of what i use is stock ableton plugins. I would also recommend for anyone interested to check out voxengo's utilities like the Correlometer or MSED, really useful for understanding the phase and stereo balance of synths.

My mastering chain is pretty straightforward I think. I run through an ableton Utility, through 3 TDR Novas. One for the full mix, one for mono and one for sides. Then I feed that into multiband compression and then through the TDR Kotalnikov. After that I add a tiny bit of reverb, roll off the top and bottom and if everything looks good, it all goes into LoudMax and I find the level with Youlean. If this sounds like complete rubbish to you, please let me know what I could do different.

For the videos, I basically search the internet archive and look for some cool public domain footage that I can use. A lot of old instructional and US government training films mostly. Edit them in DaVinci Resolve, I am a complete beginner at video editing but I think they look cool at least. If anyone has any other sources for public domain video, let me know. I'm looking to expand my visual vocabulary soon on these videos. I love them but I don't want to have one look for everything. I add a lot of static and like a red filter to all of the videos to get a more retro analog look. May need to find another way to erode the video quality.

Anyway, that's my cliff notes for now. If you enjoy the video, please subscribe for more

All tracks and videos are on my channel if you want to check them out again later. These aren't really final mixes, more a first sketch. Let me know what you think.
