So I've had a hard time getting back into writing, but I decided to remaster this weird thing I did back in 2019. I've purchased some new mastering plugins recently so I wanted to try them out. The track should probably be remixed completely in a lot of areas but I'm not ready to go that far yet:) The writing is a bit inconsistent but in general gets better toward the midway point—at least in my opinion it does.

Also attaching two snippets of before and after. The new master is a little louder, but much wider, fuller, and more harmonically rich. That's what I was going for anyway.

2019

2023

Mastering plugins used in order: Waves Abbey Road Vinyl, Plugin Alliance Lindell TE-100, Plugin Alliance Shadow Hills Class A Mastering Compressor, Wavesfactory Spector, Waves L3LL-Ultramaximizer, SSL X-Saturator, FabFilter Pro-L2 Limiter

I reuploaded the new master to BandCamp and made it free if anyone's interested.

The SoundCloud upload says "3 years ago" . I'm shall assume that you overwrote the original upload with the new master.

It think the mastered sound is good and I enjoyed all the different sections and synths you have going on. Sounds like there's acoustic guitar picking maybe mixed in at a few points (or is that a synth?), but I like the organic sound mixed with all the electronic stuff. Cool.

Yes, that is correct. I didn't even think about the date being there.

The guitar sound is actually from Nord keyboard. I believe it was a Nord Lead A1. It was in the studio I was working in.

Enjoyed the journey. Could easily be a film score. Great mix.

Lovely music essae. The new mix and master is great. Clear and with lots of interesting sounds. Like mikejanet says " Could easily be a film score". When I see something over 20 minutes I am generally reluctant to listen to it, but not this one. A great journey.
Well done!

I agree that the new master has a much "fuller" sound than the 2019 version. It is louder, but the original does sound less "rounded".

Good work

Great piece. Standout sounds for me were the pitch bent strings near the end.

I liked the Recursion.
The pleasant ambiance and sounds.

for my ears the new one is better - what doesn't mean that the first one was bad
