Writing and orchestrating are done; next up, recording and producing in the DAW.

With orchestration completed yesterday on paper, it was time to take it into the DAW today and record each part of the virtual orchestra.

This is not the final audio! This performance will next be taken through the mixing and mastering process.

The final track is starting to take shape! After about four hours adjusting gain automation and carving out frequency space with EQ's, the ensemble sound is clearer and richer than ever.

This is sounding good, but there's still the final part of the audio pipeline to go: mastering. I'll be honest, this is the stage I have the least experience in; but at least I'm not worried about ruining a sound file that's already pretty pleasing.

See you after the final master!
