Sever7 - M.O.N. (Original Mix)


Welcome to my latest release, "M.O.N." (Middle Of Nowhere). Inspired by the more Euphoric EDM scene of early 2001.

Going to be upfront and apologies for the rubbish quality - I have no idea why this is happening when bouncing down from Logic 9. No channel is clipping and I'm not pushing in master stage. Average -1 db. Anyway, try and enjoy and crit welcome - it's the first track out of my new rig and studio setup and first out of Logic Pro.

Bye bye FL, Hello Logic

I've just finalized the purchase on the new studio PC and have decided to switch completely to Logic.

FL Studio will be missed though, it truly was great for the price and ease of use. Logic has a different approach to most things but sure i'll get the hang of it soon enough.

The choice was based largely on the hassles with my previous rig which had played up again recently coupled with my inquisitive nature - wondering why everyone recommends Logic. So let's see what the fuss is about shall we.

So far haven't even started it up - still waiting for the 2GB extras to download so I can get going (cannot to skip this step). So heres to even bigger challenges and achievements - really feel it's a milestone on a personal level. Expect feedback, quirks, headaches, tips and much more in future.

Amazon MP3: Cityscape

To release or not to release?

That is - indeed - the question. Let's back-track just a little bit, allow me to explain. I've been sending a lot of work off to various big name labels (can't find contact details to the smaller Trance labels) - why you ask? Being indie is great but I don't personally have the marketing pull / stronghold / resources these big companies have.

I digress. After sending off a few promo's the consensus on my latest track "Cityscape" has been that it's technically great and mixed / mastered perfectly - BUT - and a huge BUT - it's not what industry is looking for right now.

This is good and bad for many reasons, to keep a DJ's set consistent you have to source / supply tracks that fit / work together. The bad side is you get much of the same being produced and in the end nothing that really breaks out from the norm.

With this feeling I am a bit reluctant to release my latest work - as it too - is different :-) So where to from here?

I think the end point is the fact that we make music to express ourselves just as an artist puts brush to canvas or a writer ink to paper - you know what? I think I'll be releasing the new track.
