Ether DiverAnyway, that got panned nearly hard left and I felt like I was close. (I'd also added a touch more Hydrasynth, just some window dressing really, during my <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/InstrumentDays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InstrumentDays</a>). But it *still* didn't feel done. I let it simmer a while longer, and feeling like it still lacked a bit of definition, I decided to try something I hadn't done before: sing on an album.<a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/PsychedelicGhostStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PsychedelicGhostStories</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/ProductionDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProductionDiary</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Songwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Songwriting</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MakingMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MakingMusic</a><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MusicProduction</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Workflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Workflow</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HomeRecording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeRecording</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HowItsMade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HowItsMade</a>

Ether DiverThere's also a collection of the weirder sounds a <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Korg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Korg</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/VolcaDrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VolcaDrum</a> makes in here -- all manner of weird squidges, burbles and blaps. Those and the Alpha Juno stuff came during the production phase, on the respective <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/InstrumentDays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InstrumentDays</a>. The rest of this is all samples, some treated by the <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Morphagene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Morphagene</a>. <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/PsychedelicGhostStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PsychedelicGhostStories</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/ProductionDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProductionDiary</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Songwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Songwriting</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MakingMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MakingMusic</a><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MusicProduction</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Workflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Workflow</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HomeRecording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeRecording</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HowItsMade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HowItsMade</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/EtherDiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EtherDiver</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MyAlbum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MyAlbum</a>

Ether DiverDuring My <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/InstrumentDays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InstrumentDays</a> phase, my notes say I added some <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Arturia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Arturia</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MiniBrute2s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MiniBrute2s</a> (one of the main melodies) and some <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Roland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Roland</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/AlphaJuno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AlphaJuno</a> (an element of one of the builds). Other <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/instruments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#instruments</a> you can hear are the <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/ASM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ASM</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Hydrasynth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hydrasynth</a> (high strings); <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Korg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Korg</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Monologue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Monologue</a> (main bassline; sweeps that were actually done with a keygroup sampled <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MPC</a> instrument I made before I sold the actual <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/synth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#synth</a>); and last, a ton of <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MicroFreak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MicroFreak</a> all over the place.<a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/PsychedelicGhostStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PsychedelicGhostStories</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/ProductionDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProductionDiary</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MakingMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MakingMusic</a>

Ether DiverDuring the <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/InstrumentDays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InstrumentDays</a> part of the <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/production" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#production</a> phase, I had added a touch of <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/KawaiK4r" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KawaiK4r</a> (just a few vocal "chuff" sounds) and <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Hydrasynth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hydrasynth</a> (octave stabs). I did a *ton* of work on this one the first night I was away with my family, just adding in <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/samples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#samples</a> and other elements I had prepared but not actually used in the song. <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/PsychedelicGhostStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PsychedelicGhostStories</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/ProductionDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProductionDiary</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Songwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Songwriting</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MakingMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MakingMusic</a><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MusicProduction</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Workflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Workflow</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HomeRecording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeRecording</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HowItsMade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HowItsMade</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/EtherDiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EtherDiver</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MyAlbum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MyAlbum</a>

Ether DiverI did have two more quasi <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/InstrumentDays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InstrumentDays</a>. One day with a couple of <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Morphagene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Morphagene</a> patches that absolutely pushed two tracks over the finish line almost single handedly, and a <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/SamplingDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SamplingDay</a> where I finally went through one side of the <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/SamplingTape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SamplingTape</a> I made in <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/PreProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PreProduction</a> and added <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/samples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#samples</a> to multiple tracks. Those samples were the finishing touch for at least one of those tracks and it was nice to know the effort had been worth it. <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/PsychedelicGhostStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PsychedelicGhostStories</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/ProductionDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProductionDiary</a>

Ether DiverFrom Nov 18 to Nov 22 I had <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/InstrumentDays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InstrumentDays</a> where each day I would take a specific instrument, and just add a bit of it to as many of the in-progress tracks as I could. It went like this: Day 1: Add <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Arturia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Arturia</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MiniBrute2s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MiniBrute2s</a> to 3 tracks Day 2: Add <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/KawaiK4r" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KawaiK4r</a> to 4 tracks Day 3: Add <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/VolcaDrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VolcaDrum</a> to 2 tracks Day 4: Add <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Hydrasynth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hydrasynth</a> to 2 tracks Day 5: Add <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Roland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Roland</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MKS50" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MKS50</a> (aka <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/AlphaJuno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AlphaJuno</a>) to 4 tracks <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/PsychedelicGhostStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PsychedelicGhostStories</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/ProductionDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProductionDiary</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/HowItsMade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HowItsMade</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MusicProduction</a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Workflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Workflow</a>
