Concept & Composition: I developed the original musical idea in Caustic 3, crafting the hypnotic, energetic Afro House arrangement with a focus on a punchy kick drum and wide, immersive textures.
Mixing: I applied my refined mixing techniques within Caustic 3, prioritizing a clean signal path, genre-appropriate balance, and creative panning to achieve a spacious, dynamic mix with strong headroom.
🎛️ The detailed mixing process for this track is available on >> DAW work 9.
Audio processing: I performed the final mastering stage in REAPER, utilizing a targeted processing chain to ensure competitive loudness, tonal balance, and translation across all playback systems.
The Audio processing chain:
The final polish was achieved with this specific chain:
Multiband Compressor: For controlled dynamics and glue across the frequency spectrum.
Graphic EQ: For broad-stroke tonal balancing and corrective shaping.
Stereo Field Manipulator & Stereo Image Filter: To enhance width, definition, and placement of panned elements like shakers and hi-hats.
Exciter: To add presence, ensuring clarity and energy.
Results:
The project successfully realized the artistic and technical vision, resulting in a release-ready master.
