This is actually one of the first beats I made on my OP-XY when I first received it. I liked it but never made it into a song. I decided to pick it back up this week and mess around with it some, and ended up really liking the result. Most of the sound is the OP-XY itself, but the bass is running through a reverb on the ZOIA that gives it a bit of extra grunt and gristle.
Another week without my OP-XY, so I once again re-visited a song that I started last year. I really like the sonic space of this song. I tried to apply all my newly acquired EQ abilities to bring out the things I really like in the song using the M8's newish ability to EQ individual instruments. I hope I didn't over-do it.
Hopefully I will be back to making brand-new music next week, as my replacement OP-XY should be here by Tuesday!
I wasn't able to come up with anything really new this week, so I took an old song and remastered it. The M8 now has instrument based EQ, so I went through each instrument and tweaked things to my liking. I then recorded it into Bitwig, where I added a bit of compression and a small amount of EQ to the entire song.
This is one of the best songs I've ever made on the M8, and was the result of lots of lunch-time editing last year. The success of this song prompted me to devote more time to music and ultimately to take part in this streak.
