Behind the Scenes of the Release
I shared that this is how I go into the final mastering stages. I first master each song solo (I actually don’t like listening to reference tracks.. I select some tracks that I like the best in terms of balance, then try to match to that. When someone listens to my beat tape from beginning to end, that is the experience they will have.)
Creating a Demo Reel for a Beat Tape
I created a video awhile back about how to create a demo reel for a beat tape. The image below shows that process. I also added in some sound effects between tracks to help them flow and feel more like a quick reel like you’d hear on the radio (that is a very skilled trait to have.. mine were okay on this one, but they work!)
Also, here’s the artwork!

Its great!!! my third listening. What I find is that it’s a continuous like riff repeated over and over. Simplistic, but with lots of worked in unobtrusive stuff going on around it at the same time that makes it so interesting, pulls it all together, and keeps you listening. A foot stomper!!! (if that makes sense). Wow!!!!
Thank-you so much man!!!
I uploaded the high-quality .WAV above so you get the best listening experience 😁
It was all created from a single guitar note!
If you notice, it’s mainly just one instrument (the guitar).. then I used a filter and built excitement and tension!
I also really like a couple of the transitions bringing back the chorus (that’s audio painting for you!)
