- Special techniques
- Few people seem to realize you can enhance your stereo panning considerably by using the surround panpots, even in non-Atmos, stereo-only songs. I tried several string libraries but the solo instruments in Presence worked best with the song. The video is a combination of stock images and AI-generated ones. Mastering is my usual chain: ProEQ3 and Waves L3-16, nothing else.

This is a song I wrote to raise funds for St. Jude's Children's Hospital. For each "Like" I contribute $1 (it's generated $80 so far, ny goal is $500). There's a separate Atmos mix on my YouTube channel, which also generates a dollar for each Like. You don't even have to like the song, or listen to it all the way through, to contribute something to St. Jude's - just click on Like.
