The track is pretty close to being finished. Current state:
- Format: 16-bit, 44.1kHz .wav
- Duration: 3 minutes 14 seconds
- Structure: Intro into build, drop 1, bridge, drop 2, outro
- Samples used: Processed material from Dark Souls 1 and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, resampling my own drum and percussion sounds, lion roaring sound to represent haetae
- Automation: I automated elements of the stereo field with faturator, the bit rate with redux, saturator drive on the low end group, reverb dry/wet, among other elements to enhance particular elements of the composition.
- Mixing: I mixed everything by bringing down all of the levels to zero, and gradually bringing up elements in the mix, EQing them respectively to create space for elements in the mix. I added compressors where I deemed it to be necessary.
- Master: I wanted to mesh everything together a bit on the master, so I added a multiband compressor, spectral diopser, faturator, glue compressor, exciter, and finally an EQ to balance the mix.
Now the track has been shared with the group ahead of final submission.
