The right MP3 has been uploaded now!

]]> http://www.tomhughesmusic.com/?feed=rss2&p=122 Mastering http://www.tomhughesmusic.com/?p=121 http://www.tomhughesmusic.com/?p=121#comments Mon, 22 Feb 2010 21:37:01 +0000 admin http://www.tomhughesmusic.com/?p=121 Drowning has been mastered now - the mastered version has simply replaced the media file which is being streamed in the Music Downloads section.  Enjoy!

Just needed some added clarity (which I did via Izotope’s fantastic DAW plugin Ozone - highly recommended!) with an exciter.  Also tightened up the low end of the track.

Sorry for the wait - as per usual I got carried away and my perfectionist obssession (I swear I’m OCD or something) reared its ugly head.  Had a great weekend filled with gigs, production and buying a new amp!  Just bought a Mesa Boogie (I never actually imagined as a spotty teenager first tabbing out Incubus tracks I would EVER have the money for one of these bad boys!).  Looking forward to recording the new amp but in the mean time click on over to the Music Downloads page and listen to my new (ish!) track.  Please post and let us know what you think - I always want to hear how I might improve these songs of mine (afterall music is there to be shared right?!).

Happy half term!

Stay tuned guys!
