Principal photography has taken place on 2020-02-25, but I've only managed to finish the video on 2020-03-29, due to many technical issues during the video editing process. You have no idea how glad I am to be finally done with this video. If there's any errors or sloppy editing in the video - please forgive me. Audio stutters near the end are Kdenlive's fault, and I was unable to make it not do that.

July 23, 2021 URI#06 Iterative refinement - taking your music to the next level
unfa rambling indefinitely #06
I'm talking about why crafting stunning tracks takes a lot of time, and how I usually go from the initial idea to the final album version of my compositions.
I use my track "Sincerely" from my album "Suppressed" to show how it changed and developed over 22 versions I have saved on my disk.

I'm talking about sound design using allpass filtering and distortion.
How it works - why it works and what it sounds like.
I'm using only open-source software: Ardour (DAW) and Zyn-Fusion (synthesizer) under Linux Mint operating system.
