Piano Ballad (Broken World)

Kevin has been sent files and will have a recording for us shortly!

@ Zerik: Yes, I’ve finally got studio monitors instead of headphones. Been trying to read up on mixing techniques and sharpen my skills; it’s amazing what can be done with the plug-ins bundled with Cubase. The drums were mostly tapped out on my keyboard with the fills being programmed straight with a mouse.

The good news is that I have ordered Superior Drummer as well as the Pop! EZX expansion, so drums should sound considerably better from now on.

@Ian: I see what you mean about the stiff and regimented feel to it. It’s definitely due to a lack of dynamic contrast and the interest that it affords, also I have a hard enough time singing at all, much less keeping the energetic performance that recordings necessitate. I would have to echo Kevin’s sentiment that I often fail in the production aspect of it (though he’s obviously much better than I); still once Superior Drummer arrives I’ll try to maybe swing the beat a bit more. Lyrics are now in the Soundcloud description.
