thanks y'all!  got one of them recorded at least, working on the others and feeling good about where they're going....glad to hear it's not just me thinking they're on the right track  

[springymajig]

Yeah those clips sound really nice... a good balance of warm and "simple", and dynamic with lots of little subtle details. Listening to some of your stuff on bandcamp now, enjoying the more glitchy moments in particular.

Pretty relaxing stuff. Kind of sounds like you're playing it live.

not too relaxing i hope, was trying for a little tension in the middle and the last half. but definitely built on that relaxing basis.

it's fully captured live, it was some combo of previously-live-recorded patterns and live-looped audio as well as definitely some amount of live playing. best of all options is what i was trying for with that batch of tunes it was a part of

will probably end up making this shit by the time it's done but it's sounding pretty good right now i guess

[auxien]

Just great, every layer has something to like about it. Lush pads as well. Serannian track is p. lush as well.

just recorded a quick demo thing that sounds nice on speakers/headphones. will delete later.

i've been keeping up so far with dronecember, just an excuse to record a drone piece each day and share the results. it's going decent i think...today's ended up a big choral ambient-ish drone but i've been trying out some other sounds too. all tracks are on my Soundcloud, playlist below:

couple of recent things recorded while jamming/testing/tweaking/demoing sounds and ideas. may end up somewhere or incorporated with stuff or who knows.

Hey tsrono, good to see you on here! I like this one. Agreed it needs some mixing, some of the lower frequencies (e.g. the kick) as well as the higher frequency sounds (e.g. some of the percussion hits) could be a bit clearer. Good ideas here though, it has nice balance of atmospheric and beat-driven material

you too man! make sure to read the rules 

and thanks, it'll likely end up getting tweaked and out at some point....who knows when, i've got a lot of stuff to sort through

long single-take drifting track from last year.

quick jam outtake, results of about an hour playing in Ableton

[snack master]

i'm curious about your workflow.  could you talk a bit on what you did with this track?

i wake up before dawn and head down to the beatmines, toil & dig by the sweat of my brow and strength of my own muscles trying to find that vein on premium untapped beatage, each day and each year it’s more and more rare to find some new freshness down in those depths but ‘tis my privilege to live, nonetheless a bane, carrying on the traditions rooted in the depths of these mountains, the source under the heavy earth of the ancient, purest beatore our forefathers’ forefathers only dreamed of in their wildest fevers.

Spoiler

it’s always a bit different but in this case: started w/ a custom drum machine in Ableton i built about a year ago, im layering subtle effects on individual drum bits & adding copious randomization to the velocities & trigger chance at this stage of a ‘jam’…for a finished thing i’d likely record out the MIDI and take best beats for further tweaking, or just intricately craft a number of individual bars with subtle changes at each point. i write a few variations of that main drum clip & do some quick follow actions to the clips to prefer moving to another clip…then copying that whole drum kit/track over to a new version of it with heavy changes to effects used/added, tweak the clips of that track to have less chance of triggering…so the two drum tracks are playing ‘the same’ basis but each is a touch different, then effected/routed independently….each is routed into a number of return tracks which are feeding into one master….individual kit sends are going to different return tracks in differing amounts of volume, w/ a number of instances/styles of compression at any/all stages, some gating…i threw in a synth in the last 10 minutes with a jammed-on-my-laptop melodic thing that’s fed in lightly, synth was tweaked a bit, i can’t remember right now which synth i ended up using, it and all effects are stock Ableton Live 11 stuff. custom drum machine is built entirely in Live using Live stock Operators synths.

303 jam in Ableton, thrown together in ~an hour. 10 min, meandering, badly mixed no mastering or anything just raw, mp3 version only because the wav was too big.
