Hello there, Patreons!

It's been a few weeks now and I've been working on some concept music for two audiologs/Sub-Chapters, and it's been taking some time, So I apologize for not putting anything up here for that time. Only one of the concept tracks are done though, the other one is still in progress.

So, there are two tracks of the same music here and it's concept music for a Sub-Chapter, but it got a little out of hand, so to say. It got maybe a little too epic in section I think, even though nothing epic of that sort happens in the actual Sub-Chapter. But the first part and last part of the song is pretty telling of the vibe of the Sub-Chapter.

Anyway, you'll notice the two tracks here even though it's just the same music. It's just that the first one is a mix and the second one is a master. Now the master one is mastered using Logic Pro's own Mastering Assistant sort, and I think it's an AI of some sort. I used since I basically know nothing about mastering.

So, I'd love to have your feedback here. Do you think that the mixed track or the mastered track sounds better to your ears?

I gotta be honest, I can't tell by ear a difference between the two.

To my imperfect listening capabilites, I'd say the Master version is louder and the notes are clearer. You can distinguish them more from each other. That being said, the violin crescendo at 2:48 and the louder chanting around 4:17 feels too loud in the Master version. Volume felt like it spiked at those moment and I had to lower it. Other issue is the Master version felt almost painful in my ears for some reasons, probably the volume, while in the Mix, I never had that issue and I'm still listening to it in the background as I write this, enjoying the overall vibe. Mix is a bit more quiet, but the volume is more consistent and it's overall more enjoyable that way, in my humble opinion. It's another fun track to listen to in any case, while I see what you mean by too epic around the middle, it's fun. The violin part especially feels very WOD to me, the darkness creeping around you as the veil of mystery surrounding the supernatural starts to part only to reveal the true horrors beneath. It's a revelation, a transcendence even, but it's dark, it's wrong somehow. I like the vibe of it. And some Ha Hi Ha Ho leitmotif is always fun to hear in the HTP soundtrack.

Haha that is still nice, and good to to know. Thank you, Gerik! 😊

Gontran! I’m very glad for your feedback! That’s a very astute observation and I totally agree with you, which is nice because I wanted to make sure I was hearing the same things! Indeed the master is louder. But so you would all in all say that the mix was more pleasant for the ears to listen to?

GontranTheogal

Exactly. The mix is the one I'd use if I were in your shoes. It's easier on the ears and more enjoyable overall.

Then that’s the one I’m gonna go with, thank you, Gontran! I really need take some online courses in Mastering I think. I want to learn it!
