Harmonic Divergence (open the gift)

FWGATAP....
First audacity project.  Read too many of 64's comments around... and maybe some others?  anyway.  I mixed the second half on bandlab and then merged into Audacity to the first half.  I think it's good for the brain to constantly try to learn new things.  There is defo a curve there but I really like the graphs and waveforms.. Totally different than Bandlab.  I am going to keep working at it.

Channeling your inner Jim Morrison?

I wasn't sure what to make of the track at first, but it kinda grew on me.
Couple of listens and I'm really into it.

Not sure I'd ever attempt something like this in Audacity myself, though!
Although, thinking about it, I have used it for mastering a song a while back when the master from my Boss BR1600 seemed flat and uninspiring (this was 2020). That was just editing and massaging a stereo track.

Over the last few weeks/months I've been doing a lot of very similar in Studio One on old BR1600 stereo mixes - and what I learnt to do in Audacity has proved very useful. Turns out it's actually what mastering engineers do. It's a lot easier/faster in Studio One though!

However, all this has made me realise 64's absolutely right - Audacity is very powerful and could be used for multi-tracking recordings. I wasn't using a DAW when I was reading those comments, I was all "faders and ears" on the BR1600, so I thought it was crazy talk!!

I have to say I admire your "good for the brain" attitude on this! I kinda don't want to be changing horses and learning new interfaces/tools ... but I do know (from work) that it expands your problem solving abilities

I love the way the song starts, straight in with the music. Some excellent guitar riffs and melodies in this. Nice guitar sounds, and drums. I like the way your songs are always different in style. It has a bit of randomness in there too near the end which I like.

Great song , it has a hint of "Rush" guitar styles in there ..
Really good Proggy  song.

The lizard king lives in Utopia! Great playing and lots of cool ideas. You're really stretching out with these songs of late!

[Rob Grant]

Very interesting!! Liked all instrument performances. I was surprised when the spoken word came in. I ended up really liking it. You actually freaked me out at the "old man" part. A great mix, as I'm listening with headphones. It was pretty intense?? Very cool song?

[Nelson]

Listening on headphones as well and it Sounds pretty damn cool to me and the second half was a real treat.
