Ok! 4 hours in my studio and I came up with this...
It's a sketch of what the finished track will sound like of course, but I think I nailed down at least the main groove. I will worry about break-downs, build-ups and Rises later to give it more body and dynamics, but listening to it, even like this makes it progressive because of the polyrhythmic sequences. It took a bit to get the kick and bass just right.
I usually start my sound mastering on the output of the whole track with a preset before I even start and get my kick bass sounding good, then, as I add more instruments I will adjust the dynamic compression until the end.
I am also known for almost never using a sound sample in my tracks, I generate them with the various synths I use and usually getting them to fit in is very hard, but in the end, I'd have made a track using only my own sounds.
Yeah, I know... Why bother? Everywhere they show you how to steal a bit of track, pull it apart and sample the bits you need then Ableton can import it and straight on the timeline, Wow.. Very good, but I don't do that.
I really love making my own sounds, even the presets in the DSP instruments like, Omnisphere, Gladiator, Sylenth, Nexus and others rarely remain as they are.
When I used to make Trance and publish it on Soundcloud back in 2010 there were some pretty darn good producers that followed me at the time and commented on each track, and their common best comment was that in fact, I wasn't using any of the producer's sample pack that everyone was using, it made it clear, fresh and different.
Well, today I could download or steal bits of any track I like and literally make a new one just by importing Wavs in my timeline, a bit of time stretching and resampling and there it is. But how boring, really!
Might as well let the AI make a track as it is actually happening now.
Anyway, comments, like, follow and all that jazz.
It all helps.
When this track will be finished it will not go through the normal process of finding a record label and uploading it to various selling places like Beatport Spotify or Bandcamp... Nope. My music is free, It will go on my Soundcloud page available for download, and I will not spam for weeks on end and promote it. Why? What for?
I don't need the credit or the loose change you get as a result of being number one on Beatport.
Someone else makes the money and I get, like I said loose change, so no! No one will make any money from my music. I do it for me, It relaxes me and I enjoy the challenge of making a track,
Heck! I might even use it in my sets to play.
I give my music to the world to enjoy if they want.
Does that make me a producer that produces sh*tty tracks, that's why he's not on Beatport or owns his own Music label.
Nothing can be further from the truth. when you hear my work you can judge for yourself.
If you like it, great! if you don't, no problem. :)
Hugs all
