I changed the opening section which is singled out in the song and only two different tracks are involved so I adjusted the EQ mainly lowering it but adding top end at the end of it. I did this because the high frequency’s coming through were to overpowering and this beginning sound needed to be muffled as it would not sound good coming through the headphones to the listener.

After finishing the opening section I looped a part in the song which is about 15 seconds long, there was a pattern in the song which seemed repetitive throughout the song and made my judgement on what to do the track from this loop because the sound would have been kept the same continuously through the song. The kick drum track in this loop the song needed to be adjusted as well, not making the sounds lower on the EQ mainly just raising it at both ends and leaving it normal in the middle.

The sound was still not right, so I added distortion to the Kick drum which gave it a better sound.

The snare needed some extra kick towards the end of the beat because it was not emphasised enough which I changed in the EQ, lowering the bottom end and topping out the final part. This was done because only the final bang on the snare needed to be emphasised so the frequency’s which would be in the middle don’t need to be heard so I lowered them and made the final section of a higher frequency to emphasise it.

I felt the snare needed to be adjusted more and needed to have a repetition but just a small one so I added a small amount of reverb to the track.

The overall sound of the drums needs to be lowered and the main drum tracks boosted so I lowered the EQ then raising it at the final part.

I added a filter was added, a filter is an effect which only allows a certain amount of frequencies through not allowing certain sounds in below a certain frequency.

The EQ on this had to be adjusted at each ends, raising the top end at the beginning and end of the frequency, lowering the sounds in the middle.

After changing the EQ I felt that the pitch needed to be shifted so changed it to C Major

These tracks did not need to be edited in my opinion so I just left them how they were.

The final track to be adjusted, I only changed the EQ raised one section and dipped the other.

After I had finished editing each single track I changed the volume of each individual track in the mixer so that the sound was balanced and other sections did not over power other sections.

The original adjustments that I made to the song change the way it sounds too much which is not is wanted to be achieved little adjustments to the EQ up or down a few points not as much as I have

which completely alters the sound so I had to go back on myself and make the EQ adjustments smaller and no so drastic at different points in the song. The removing some of the effects which I sued because they were not the effects needed such as pitch shift & distortion. Instead I replaced

these with a gate especially on the drums because on the overall head recording you want to cut out the excess sounds which can be heard. This gives the overall track a more real sound.
