Charity 24 Hour Music Production Event

Hey guys.

On the 22nd - 23rd June, i'm going to do the 24 music production challenge, but I want to do it for charity too.

Since you are all interested in music, and a great community who I have got to know, it'd be great if I could receive your support!

The charity I am raising money for is Mind - they raise money, awareness and provide support for people with mental health issues. It is an issue close to my heart, and I want to help others in such a vulnerable position.

If you don't want to/can't donate, I would really appreciate if you at least shared the event with your friends and helped it grow :)

The Facebook event is here.

And the donation page is here.

Thanks!

Obviously this didn't get much of a response, but i'm pushing this one more time just in case anyone missed it and would consider donating.

Any help and any donation is hugely appreciated :)

I would love to donate if I had the money : ( Any other way I can help?

There is loads of time left to donate - over a month! - so you could save money.

Or if you aren't going to be able to donate just sharing the event with people would be great :)

Team Equipboard just donated! Thanks for being an awesome member of the Equipboard community :)

Best of luck and keep us up to date!

Thank you very much it's greatly appreciated :)

I don't exactly want to use the forums as a means of promotion, but the EP is finished, and it was hard work so i'd love for people to listen! :D

Really cool stuff, how did you deal with ear fatigue?

3 steps to that really:

1. I didn't work on the same song for too long at once so I wasn't listening to the same thing over and over again;

2. When I was adding a lot of stuff or tweaking things, I didn't have the music playing as well. I would change something, then listen to how it sounded, and then change again, rather than having a section on loop.

3. I just had the volume quite low! Especially when I was doing the creative side like sound-design and chord progressions, I just turned the volume really low because I didn't need it too loud. Only in the final mixing and mastering stages did I turn it up a bit to get a better idea of what was happening, and even then it wasn't THAT loud.

Also a small bonus thing was that for a few days beforehand I had tried to limit the amount of music I listened to and if I did listen it was on low volume.

I'm not a fan of this kind of music but I will say that yours is the best I've heard from this genre.

I was noticing though that the majority of your bass notes were only coming out of my right speakers. I know that the song is in stereo because of the part at 2:40. I would make sure you have your bass in stereo as well.

Thank you :)

Hmm, that's strange; i've always thought and heard that bass should be put in mono, but why it's all coming out of the right speaker I do not know. Perhaps I did something kinda stupid due to lack of sleep >_< I don't know, but thanks for the tip :)
