Hidemi’s Rambling No.127

by Hidemi Woods on March 5, 2010

I increased the volume of our new song’s vocal track by using the normalize function. The track had been already processed by an auto-gate effect so that the unwanted noise was removed. Although I had spent a whole day to decide the best setting of the effect, the normalization spoiled the setting and I had to work on it all over again. This setback is nothing compared to the ones I experienced many times in the old days, though. When I first used a sequencer for our songs, I would enter all data by working over 12 hours, and often delete everything by accidentally stepping on its power cord, because the way of a backup was an external tape recorder back then. I’m so used to working very hard for something that eventually ends in vain…
