Moving got delayed so I decided to just throw on some headphones and quickly rattle something out.
It was a fairly difficult one as it was not a song per se, as diadem says it's more just a repeated riff.
It has a fairly hazy psychadelic feel so I decided to go with that. Keeping true to the idea of a mixing exercise I didn't add in any extra tracks or develop the song further - just pure mixing
I did some rough editing of bass and drums to knock them into shape a little and then set all the levels and panning I wanted. I EQ'd just about every track a little and added some compression here and there - mostly on the drums to give them some extra crack and weight.
I also beefed up the lead guitar and bass tracks using the free version of Amplitube.
I screwed a fair bit with the stereo field of the organs to make them sound wiiiide and psychadelic.
Then I just put liberal amounts of reverb on the two lead guitars with Epicverb (cool freeware reverb) and finally passed it through a tape machine for some distortion/compression and the standard Cubase limiter to bring it roughly up to the same level as modern music.
I didn't really know what to do with the end where it started falling apart so I did a harsh chop! I also didn't really get the purpose of the crowd, so it's in there at the start only...
Compression either came from my own hardware recreation of an LA-2A style compressor or Waves' RComp plugin.
EQ was either from the desk (I was using a very cheap Yamaha MG16 for this track) or from PSP NobleQ or Waves' RChannel plugins.
Tape machine is a Revox
It's very quick and rough and ready, but it's turned out ok IMO
