I started this beat last week, but decided to let it cook another week, and am glad I gave myself more time with it. I was able to expand the melody a bit, and add some more depth to the drums. I'm really pleased with the result, and feel like I'm finding my groove with the OP-XY again, despite the bugs that have crept into the firmware.
With my OP-XY still out for RMA, I struggled to come up with something this week. I finally sat down with my Syntakt and decided to try to come up with something I liked. I was moderately successful, here. I have a hard time getting the Syntakt to make the sounds that I want it to. In other words, I spend a lot of time just fiddling with knobs and stuff, rather than making the beat better. I tried to include some sounds from the M8, but ended up scrapping that side of the song.
This isn't my best, but it's a submission, and that's more than I had this morning!
