acid1 84 Posted October 14, 2019 Figured I would start my own thread. As a new father, my time is extremely limited and most of my "experiments" are reduced to occasional modular noodling while working from home. First track is a jungle tune I made the other week. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, man! My daughter is still in the newborn state, so I basically sneak sessions in when she's sleeping. Being sleep deprived certainly makes things trickier. TBH, if I ever got to your state as you described I'd feel like I was a successful father. You should be super proud, cheers! #dadgoals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acid1 84 Posted October 17, 2019 Eurorack drill/jungle/dnb stuffs Mostly Eloquencer, 1010 Bitbox, Clouds, Dixie2, Belgrad, Erbeverb, Kickall, and 2hp Brst Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoid 45 Posted October 26, 2019 good work there! i use eloquencer too. nice work on the drum programming and very nice pads and bleepy bits. The sound in general is a bit squashed up which maybe you are going for, but i think if you turned everything down - leave more headroom - and work on the mix more, and then run it through a mastering plugin, it could sound better. but i get it that you are working with a big time limitation, which means you got a lot done in the time you had. well done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 26, 2019 Damn! Love when that human voice starts coming in around 1:52. Drums are crazy. DnB is not really my cup of tea, but you got serious skills programming drums. I enjoyed the melodies/counterpoint, especially in the intro before the drums come in. I felt like it was kind of squashed too dynammically, but it seems appropriate for the song and genre.

acid1 84 Posted October 28, 2019 Thank you very much! I agree with the squashiness. Mixing/mastering is my least favorite part of the process. If I throw these together into an ep/lp eventually I will most likely re-address the mix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hyperfrequence 22 Posted October 29, 2019 Hi acid1, I really liked your first track especially the final part when the breaks start being cleaner and the melodic pads come in. Keep up the good work ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acid1 84 Posted November 23, 2019 Featuring "vocals" from my daughter. Sitting her down infront of the Eurorack actually seems to make her stop crying sometimes, its probably just the interesting lights but I like to think she enjoys what I am doing. Acid overtones and jungle undertones. This one got a bit weird. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acid1 84 Posted March 1 So here is some braindance!! Recently discovered and been highly inspired by Bogdan Raczynski's productions and methodologies. Most of the new stuff I am working is all tracker composions, written quickly, and trying getting as close to my natural "sound" as I can without being buried in a mountain of gear and perfectionism. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But thats just my personal opinion but for me it seems the keys or not on beat 100% but that can be because I do not understand the genre of course. I like it though. Nicely done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acid1 84 Posted April 7 Timing wise it was all done with a tracker. Not sure what genre it is. Thanks for listen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicely done. like this one best of the recent ones. on the spectrum of chaotic to groovy i generally prefer a bit more tilted towards groovy. if you find yourself revisiting this one maybe reinforce the kick with a groovier bass line and remove some elements, but it's all just a matter of taste / what you're going for hope the dadding is going well ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
