Here's my tune for Month #3 - I was told it sounds a bit like riding your bike into the sunset. And I agree - maybe it was a hot day and a bunch of raindrops are starting to come down, so you have to rush and make it home before the rain gets too strong lol

As usual, all synths come from the Digitone and everything else was sampled and arranged on the Digitakt. Only a few mix adjustments were done in a DAW. This month was all about bringing my guitar into this setup and finding a workflow with it, I hope you like it!

Here it is, my submission for February. Doesn't it sound like waves rising, splashing, crashing and fading?
It's a lot faster than my last track, as I'm trying to get closer to the genre I like.
As usual, everything you hear was me playing the Digitone and Digitakt live into a DAW, no overbridge and no editing except some gain adjustment on the Master - I hope I got it right this time! Performing this cleanly is still an adventure, though, and every take sounds different. I don't know, I just want to "audition" a small change that I made and then I get carried away and perform the whole thing! This means that of all the time I spent on this track, I probably spent half of it just performing and that was super fun.

Then again, there's a lot of things I don't like about this track and I'll probably do a lot of things differently next time. But I feel much more prepared since now I have tons of samples and sounds that I can hopefully reuse in the future.

Almost all sounds were created using my Digitone. In fact, there are only two samples in this track that I did not create myself! Can you tell which ones?

I learned about this challenge last-minute and didn't want to let January pass without submitting anything :) This is one of my first jams that I recorded with the Digitone. It's a bit boring, but I tried to do it without any extra samples - every sound you hear was generated inside the Digitone and only three of them were later sampled on the Digitakt since I ran out of trigs and tracks. For what it's worth, I had fun exploring the different sounds and I'm glad that I saved the project. I'll definitely try and refine this some other time, add some other elements etc.

cheers
