Monday is just a good day for me to write. This song is a huge hodgepodge WIP.
Lots going on this week, so this came together quickly Saturday night and Sunday. Started with reverse-gated 606 syncopated line, adding hand claps. I then tracked three different sets of lines with Res-O-Glas guitar (Balls Effects KWB -> Vox Wah -> Ableton Auto-Filter -> Ableton Cabinet), Epiphone P-J bass (EQ-8 to roll off lows). Then I went back to add a line of percussion, which sounded wrong, so I bitcrushed it. This one was very intuitive--just tracking little improvised phrases that seemed to work with each other.
Sends: two different room sizes of convolution reverb, with one channel of echo. Full-chain master on the 2-bus.
Title from the inspiration for radium's name. Kinda obvious, but there we have it.
Practicing trying to do pickup recording on my Octatrack with a pretty chill-out track.
The answer is that there are a few problems that I still need to work out, like exactly what size the audio buffer is because it always cuts out.
The song itself is a pretty chill house-is track with Modular and TR-8s. I get a feeling that I need to get a new modular sequencer the more I try to fight the Stillson Hammer, but sequencers are $$$ and I want to save up some money first.
Library tune from somewhere that i didn't have an orignal copy of so i simply rewrote it from a dodgy copy for posterity. I Didn't get time to give it Rhythm so this is demo form only
Performance of a pattern I made this week for a live at Säde coffeshop.
Finally got monitors again. :)
trying a new design strategy to generate weekly themes.
mt power drummer for beats arrangement, then swapped out for "abuse kit" and the midi tweaked. symptohm for synth bass and lead, sidechained gate and stock amp emulation on the guitar, bit reduction on the bass.
My attempt at a straight dance/breaks track. I find it difficult to cope with more than a few elements, they all blend and create the sonic equivilent of brown.
