On Tuesday night, I went to visit my mentor, JK Loftin, to go over the song I made from the sinewave cycle. He taught me a few tricks that he thought I should know, like to insert a silence about a quarter of a second long in the beginning of every song just in case it ends up on a CD someday and to cut a dB or so from around 315 Hz in your eq to get things a more defined sound from your tracks. He also taught me about DC offset, which I understood to be where the center point of the tracks samples is not on zero which can cause tracks to be quiet or bassy and taught me when those problems occur and a few ways to fix it.
