Love weekly beats/streak club for getting my arse into gear! Have barely done anything music related all week and barely made it to this deadline. But I did and am now super amped again for tunes ;D
Here's a nice and mellow acid jam for Monday morning ;D
seriously punting this week, sorry to anyone who listens.
So this month I'm doing something different. During the month of May I will still be writing a song a week, but all songs will tie into each other in a concept/story EP in the end. During and after may I will hopefully continue to work on all of the songs if they turn out good!
The title for this one is a work in progress as I'm still working on story details.
DnB and a doubious sample highlighting knife crime in London.
Kind of a chill-out vibe this week. I was hearing some syncopated drumming, so put up a 64-pad jazz drum rack, then some Puremagnetik Rhodes as chords and leads. Saturday night I tracked Epi P-J bass (through the Balls Effects KWB, and with EQ-8 and Cabinet for tone shaping) and Epiphone Moderne (through Vox Wah, both with and without Reuss Effects Repeater Fuzz. Without involved high-pass and low-pass Auto-Filter with drive.). A last pass involved adding some percussion and balancing some chords that weren't quite compatible...and here we are.
Sends: two different Echo plugins (based on vintage presets) and a convolution reverb. Full-Chain Master on the master channel.
Title from the meaning of the name of the village of Ytterby, site of the mine where this week's element (ytterbium) was discovered.
It's a track, it was made, I need a really good in-depth tutorial on what exactly a limiter does. Bleh.
Recorded on a real piano using my phone in one take. Also added a reverb effect to achieve Maximum Discount Bruno Sanfilippo.
