made an entire cover song in one night

so good news: i managed to keep up with my goal of releasing a cover every week thus far in 2023!

i planned out every cover for march like i did with jan and feb, only this time i failed to consider some travel plans that came in recently. if i wanted my next cover to come out on time, i'd have to sit down and grind out the whole thing in just a couple nights.

i gave myself last night and tonight to iron it all out, it's a simple metal song so there were only a few instruments so not so big a deal. i'd have to cancel a twitch stream (still cancelled, we'll get to that) but whatever. then stuff pivoted and i have to leave for the trip tonight. so i had a grand total of one night to record the entire thing, bass, rhythms, leads, midi additions, all of it, if i wanted this thing to come out on time.

it's done. it's ready to go. i'm sticking to the weekly schedule so it won't be out until sunday but holy crap, it was a doozy getting it all done in one night. there was no time for the nitty gritty details so i had to just mix with some presets i made (thank god for waves) and some basic level adjustment but listening back i'm actually fairly happy with how it came out. i rendered the final product around 3am, i think? good thing i didn't anything booked for this morning lol. anyways. i hope that on release, you'll enjoy it too. i love the song it's based on and the game it's from, so cross them fingers that it'll be good.
