The Thirteenth Hour Podcast #528: Musical Interlude - Working on a Dark Synth Track for "A Shadow in the Moonlight" Part 4
Description
In today's episode, I'm building on what I have been discussing the past three weeks as I continue to make a dark synth track to accompany one of the many hunting scenes in The Thirteenth Hour prequel, A Shadow in the Moonlight, about a cursed hunter who has to spend eternity hunting an enchanted deer.
I've wanted to learn to use a desktop based DAW to make and edit music so am using this track as a way to do that. I've settled on the free web-based program Bandlab which also have a companion mobile app. While it doesn't do everything, it does far more than I expected it to do. I have tried to resist the temptation to fall back on my analog ways and cheat the purpose of this exercise :)
At this point, the track is 90% done. Just some fine tuning left to do with the final mix.
Thanks for listening!
