sure!

what i meant was: use other effects as volume atuomation will sound in 99% of the cases so cheap.

Originally posted by echosystm do the volume automation on a gain effect within the channel... that way your fader never moves.

Sound advice, thanks!

Pretty much like this.

The point isn't to "get out of your body", it's to bring awareness to your consciousness while you're experiencing another reality.

I've tried "mastering" my own tracks by compressing them, but all i get is crap because compression is dastardly difficult to use.
I just mix it up in ModPlug Tracker until i'm satisfied and then leave it at that.
I eventually do want to try to mix and master by chopping the pieces of the track up into track length portions, but Audacity eats so much memory.
Anyway, producing is a hobby, so no need for my concern.

Modplug? Wow. That's like the ultimate oldschool stuff

I used to work with scream tracker and Impulse tracker back in the day.
