Where it rose, or whither it rushes

:beep boop beep:

100% modular.

One comment I often get from people is "I admire your dedication." Perhaps this is damning with faint praise in some cases, but in others, they're serious. Dedication? That implies choice. I wish I could quit music. Life would be a lot simpler.

Last night, the urge struck me to turn off the reverbs. There was a reverb on a send and a reverb as an insert on a track. Killed both. Eureka. Aside from the summing of tracks, no DSP was used. No reverbs, delays, choruses, peak limiters or compressors. Not even an EQ. If anything, this enables you to appreciate and discern the synthesis a lot better. Reverb can hide a lot of defects. You can bet I'm going to revisit this issue in the final pass though all of 'A Funneled Stone' tracks.
