So for tomorrow's chillout sessions, I'll suggest my recently-mastered-for-loudness collection
https://devloop0.bandcamp.com/album/moody-melodies
which has been on bandcamp for a while, but now sounds better than ever :)
All tunes save one were made in 2021/2022. One is from 2000, made on Windows, and still sounds like crap*. I had to include it though since it fits perfectly with the rest.
*That's because when I was even younger than I am today, when I thought a track was finished, I made a 160 kbps mp3 (why not 320? Misguided ideas of saving space maybe) of it and deleted all source material, just to be done with it I think.
Alas, back then I couldn't help it to revise it somewhat regardless (I never outgrew this habit apparently). So I just opened the mp3 in Cooledit, cut out some stuff, did a fade-out to hide it, and recompressed it to a 160 kbps mp3**. Now I kick myself in the head for those insane practices I had back then.
Anyway, it's the best track I made in those years. If only I still had the source, then I could change the first 90 seconds a bit.
**Which means that when you stream it from bandcamp, it'll be compressed for a third time!
Who knows, in a few years time a new plugin will be all the rage: Calf Vintage MP3 Compression.
