untitled (pretentious mix)

this is the version that i modified from the cakewalk output, but i ended up rejecting it because i added some guitar and synth parts that don't really work well with the track. i do a lot of improvisational noise, and wanted to integrate that aesthetic, but, instead, it just comes off sounding a little pretentious.

it wasn't long before i realized my error, but i hadn't saved a version i could go back to so i was sort out of luck. what i ended up doing was cutting the middle part out of the track when i used it for the reflections ep, then just dropped it from the symphony altogether.

nor can this be effectively reconstructed from the source, due to it having multiple paste overs after the cakewalk mixdown that are impossible to locate in the file. the result is something like a little reverb/delay on the track. it's consequently a unique, discarded mix that must simply be left as is.

so, i'm skipping the rejected mix. it was rejected for good reasons. there were only four extra parts to it, and they're going to end up fixed up n the final mix, so it would just be superfluous.

that means i'm already stating the vst mix after i eat.

it also means i'll have room to put an early version of the first movement of the fifth symphony on the end of this single, which is good because it's really the right place for it.

parts of the rejected mix will reappear on the seven track version of the reflections single release, because i was distributing it the way. i cut the middle out when i did this. i ended up taking the song out of my fifth symphony, so it won't be on the two track 5/6 disc. rather, the final mix will be on j^2.

but, then you're not getting everything on the single, which is the point.

gah.

ok, i need to get this up, after all. i can't modify it because i put it through a mild delay. but at least it was never compressed.
