My ‘2001: a space odyssey’ ‘beyond the infinite’ scene rescoring project is starting to take a more finalised form as I have started to get a better balance between the different elements and layers. I had shown the project to a friend of mine who gave me some useful feedback about the compression I used causing the frequencies to fight for space and kind of squashed a lot of it especially in the peak points/ louder parts. I then took off the compressor, slightly lowered all the channels to give a bit of headroom and then re balanced the levels listening through different parts to find space for all the elements without the master clipping. I also compared the eq’s I had on different layers that were within the same frequency bands and tried to keep focus only on the frequencies I needed for each track.
