For past few days I've been listening to the current state of mixes, all the twenty songs. Originally I thought I would be making 1) a possible second guitar recording session as needed and 2) ambient recording session for the songs as seen fit. Well now ...
1) Based on 5-10 times of listening through all the songs, I'm not going to record more guitars
2) Perhaps more surprisingly I've dropped the idea of ambient session completely from my plans
I thought I would quite likely be recording some extra guitar things, but it all feels so complete. I don't want to break the flow there is. It feels simply complete. Ideas I had for doing some extra sessions for some of the songs feel now ... well, pointless. It's also not just the flow, but it's about "keeping the material under reasonable control". Not making it a mess of soundscapes. It is chiptune music after all, just fused with some guitars, occasional metal elements, perhaps even slightly jazzy vibes at times. Just slightly, though.
That "keeping the material under reasonable control" matter also goes hand in hand with my decision of not doing any ambient recording sessions for any of the songs. Originally I thought I would, but as my gut feeling is "no, not for this package, not this time anyway" ... I trust how I feel about it 100%.
So, what all that means, is that I've started doing some mastering work already. Yes! Started initial work late yesterday evening after listening the material several times through. I have some simple methods I'm following. No point going into details since this is not a technical blog either.
More as things progress, again.
