The end is finally in sight for the Salome album, the 16 tracks are complete in a first draft. A couple need new vocals from Deb, but it's time to work on other things. Today I finalised the composition for the Dream Sequence dance version, and made some balancing adjustments to Entwined in Infinity using the new Watergate plugin.
I've started work on the cover, which will be similar to the poster, and started work on the 8-second Spotify Canvases.
I spent a lot of the day working on a 10-band graphic equaliser. It's a simple array of band pass filters which are then boosted (or not) by the right amount. Here's the spectrum of white noise boosted across all bands at 0.200 bandwidth:
There is no dry signal there, just the peaks so it gives an artificially strong result. Here it is with 0.400 bandwidth:
The equaliser I tested seemed to employ more of a wedge-shaped boost rather than a peak; will that be too slow for my real-time use? Which is best?
