have literally not recorded a track in months. but then i hear some chords i want to hear on the BBC, and, heck, i shouldn't, it's 4AM, but... but, will it still work? seems like it does |

thx i was actually kind of nervous to pick it up again, cold, after a few months. you can't judge right after hitting record at 4am, but i listen today, and... yeah, p. good. the color-y arp just before 2m, i should have swept that up into the dub tornado during the breakdown along with everything else, but it still works fine as sort of a skeleton inside the tornado. and i would have gotten that without thinking if i were in practice then i think: you know what, i think i've put the 10,000 hours in. practice will help but really now all i have to do is stay in good physical shape to maintain my knob agility p.s. -- 45 minutes messing with noises, hit record and it didn't take off. walked around the block, smoked a zig, went inside, hit record, nailed it well enough. total time less than an hour |

Lovin the hip hop funk. I don't buy you did it in an hour, maybe the mix were hearing here, but these sounds would have taken longer to build. I like the vocal sounding freak out starting around 2:25, what kind of synth is that that comes in around 1:40? that bright lead? this is a great track. |

why not? i used wavestation (preset, no time), arturia microfreak (preset i previously tweaked and saved, then loaded and tweaked a bit more, two minutes). my friendly casio, it's already patched up about how i want it, i just need to spend another (two minutes) tuning in the crunch properly for the ambient temperature and its mood; then it's just a stock ROM casio beat sync'd over midi. with crunch. i spent five minutes, perhaps, with the ms1, i just kind of mashed in some notes for the pattern, mostly just fussing with the waveform mix and LFO time. about half of the rest of the time was programming the drums on the arturia keygigger pro, along with the wavestation preset sound loop. then the balance was warming up, practicing for a bit, taking a stab, failing, going for a walk, straight back up to the gear, done. i used the reaper xcomp with supersolid2 just turned it down a tad i guess the disconnect might come from the fact that i'm doing everything else live. all the delay, the dub, the fades, the cuts, the manic shuffle. i particularly delight in sweeping the octave knob up and down on the ms1 while fussing with the monotron delay and boss dd-8 i have mounted on suspension scissor arms and whoops time to dart over and mash out a chord of mute-button presses on the mixer pull the delay back i might have video somewhere. not of this tho |

shoot oh yes the digitakt. i just turned it on and flipped through patterns and the kick drum loop was just one i'd made earlier and saved. i thought: that works. and on we go i also re-used it for the thad trax. |

and actually i remember programming the microfreak but i think i actually didn't bother using it in the track, ha. my attitude there, it's okay if you program ten things and then only wind up with three of them on the recording. it's about having a palette of options and as long as the right ones are there that's all that matters |

808 is a roland xp-10 run through a tube preamp. i use it for other stuff sometimes, but no, it's like brushing my teeth, perhaps a bit under a hundred button presses required to set it up for how i want it to belch 808 to the tubes. nothing new, it's the same old shit. if it works this good why. fuck. with. it. |

you know... i can give you a gear list for claire, my general setup, but i can't tell you precisely how the knobs on the moog were set. because that was, like, almost a year ago? i have details of cheboygan recording now, that i will not have in a year. so i'll note some down. pre-folderol ~ i also have the mixer's built-in aux set to 1 (rev hall 1) and i have the moog grandmother's spring reverb wired up as an aux send also. ~ very early on in the track, i decide i am not happy with my waveform mix at all, actually, and, i fuss with it, and i wind up with just the suboscillator. hmm, i don't usually do that. i nudge the volume up to compensate. then, later, when i begin sweeping the octave knob, it's like: hey wow! that sounds super actually. like, i was genuinely surprised, and i had to remind myself to get over it you're recording a track here ~ a bit later, that spot where you hear the panning suddenly go wide and into space, that's me thinking, "oh, heck, i forgot i had that" and i switch on the moog's reverb return channel (1). but everything is set up as a feedback network and the output of the spring reverb immediately begins to bleed into the mixer reverb and my delay machinery. at the time, i could hear i got a bit more space in there, cool, keep going... but it was only later, on hedfones, that, fucking shit, that sounds great actually! and so i used the same trick again in octothad. but yeah setup is not really great for stereo separation and since i'm renting i don't want to shell out for the incredibly expensive sticky wall bassbins. |
