Another of my video-accompanied songs, this time a hardcore punk theme.
It was made using my usual:
Song: Reaper, Audacity, Drumgizmo, LV2 plugins
Video: Kdenlive the almighty, Gimp the quirky, Mtpaint the Swiss army knife.
For mastering I use this free service that does a general good job (to my uncultured ears):
www.bandlab.com/mastering
However, this time, to my chagrin, the mastering made all the sibilances very present and I had to apply another round of deessing when I thought I was already finished.
I chose to use the word "toxik" with a k because certain famous pop singer claimed the word "toxic" in 2003 for herself with great success. Plus using the k looked dirtier to me.
As for the video, as a novelty, I finally found a viable workflow to use big letters for the lyrics, instead of the handy but limited subtitles option that I was using until now.

Thank you for watching, glad you liked it...
For the lettering, Kdenlive has something called "title clips" (Project>"Add title clip"). It opens a text editor, you create the text there, and then it goes to the project bin, so you can treat it as if it was a chunk of video: move it around, apply effects to it, etc...
