Backups today, and created a new, unique, audio effect for Prometheus. The concept of 'fast duck' amounts to turning down (and up) the volume of a track in real time relative to the contents of another track. This can be called 'riding the console' as volumes, like vocals, are turned up and down live to fit just where needed.
This is easy nowadays. In Prometheus I have things called 'Engrams' which store data from the track to monitor. This can be used as an import to a noise gate to turn down a track. I use it typically to turn down the backing (piano, strings) just a tiny bit when the vocals sound, so that the vocals are clearly audible. Today, I modified this concept by creating an effect which can set a new high-pass filter frequency based on a gate like this. Not sure if I'll use it, but it can, for example, add more bass to a vocal when the song is in a quiet moment, but cut higher when the song becomes loud.
After that, in the afternoon, I worked on a music video for 'I Can Heal'. It's taken an few hours, longer than normal, but is very pretty.
