In the last post, I went on about my recent discovery of audio mastering techniques. It included my first remastered song whose band frequencies I had molested. Listening back, it was quite a mess. I decided that Audacity, instead of my abilities, was mainly responsible, so I acquired better audio editing software (namely iZotope RX, recommended by good ol’ castrated AI ChatGPT). Thanks to it, I have remastered the song “Go Away, Stay Away” into a version that I wouldn’t know how to improve anymore. Check it out.

I’d say it sounds quite polished. The trick this time was to pick a segment of the song as the “baseline” for frequency band manipulation, and from then on slightly altering the bands of other segments up and down, making sure that the leadings in and out of that segment didn’t clash with the change in frequencies.

Anyway, I’ve got seventeen goddamn other songs to master, and that’s just in this album. I should also return to writing my novella one of these days.
