Have soundcloud binned groups then or am I missing something?

[gravy]

Yep, a real shame IMHO. I was in a couple of groups I quite liked

Had a throwaway bash at some cheesy, thump music and quite enjoyed it Might finish it off

Just had a quick go at focusing on trying to up my game with percussion, something I don't feel too confident with.

gravy, all your stuff sounds nice and clear, you listening back on speakers?

finished off https://soundcloud.com/kantachelly/super-riff-06-04, kept it silly

[gravy]

Ha love that

Still wrestling with Live a bit, just finding doing this stuff on a laptop a little tricky. Had a go on the train just now:

Kel: Depends. The few abelton tunes I've done at home have been on monitors and I've found that hugely helpful. I've been reading a bit about mixing and it seems to have sunk in a bit. I've got a little better at choosing instruments that don't clash too much and filtering some frequencies off the ones that do. It's all a bit muddy still tho.

The last few tunes are done on Gadget with a the limiter up a bit too high and sound a bit distorted to me to be honest.

nice bass line on train-noodle!

yeah speakers are a big help, i've not spent much time making tracks on them tbh, but the few times i have its made a big difference. I'm the worst selecting clashing instruments tho, probably just down to laziness and i need to get a bit more use out of eq, again, think i'll just wait till i get my speakers set up before i start

again, gadget sounds and looks ace, if i had a tablet id be all over it, bit gutted they haven't released it on pc, those little modules look tops i love simple machines like that, i find some of the big complicated synths a bit tedious to use.

Right, after some nudging from Gravy at synthfest, here's some quick and dirty stems for one of our quiddity tracks, Drift.

The original can be streamed here --> https://quiddity.bandcamp.com/album/drift-ep

The stems can be downloaded from here

They are individual full track stems, with mix automation applied. I'd have preferred to export the individual clips & loops, but AFAICS there's no easy way to do that in Ableton - if anyone knows otherwise, do tell. Anyway, you should be able to chop up the tracks to get to the clips from the stems I've done. First time I've had a go at this, so if any older, wiser heads want to offer advice, it'll be well received as we'd love to do more of this sort of thing.

I highly recommend Focal / JM Lab speakers. I use the " hifi " 905 elektra after years of going through lots of different brands. I've not heard a cone speaker as accurate and honest <few £k. I wouldn't hesitate to drop on a pair of Focal Solo 6 Be or Focal Twin 6 Be if these died they are now a staple near field monitor in many studios eg Drake/Noah's :

Is this open for anyone to have a crack at ??

I fancy attempting a dub remix of something...

[gribbles]

Absolutely.

Fill yer boots.

I will thanks. So after raving about the JM Labs, I mastered these on £20 headphones cos it's late.

Had a piss about with gyratory's track from here : Gyratory – A-little-bit-better

Grrr... Gadget sucks you in with some real ease of use and keeps you there long enough to really piss you off when you try to link it with anything outside of it's box. Right Royal pain in the ass. Same with it's own editing. It seems impossible to copy and paste phrases between tracks or modules - it's just entire blocks or nothing. You really have to plan in advance to build something of any structure.

I suck so bad at drum fills as it is. I'm going to try and use Patterning as my drum fill track instead for the comp:



Gadget does have some really great sounds. I've gotten most of the modules in the occasional sales Korg have. It runs absolutely amazingly on the iPhone too, especially useful now they've got iCloud working.

[gravy]

Patterning is ace

My boy did a loop on it a couple of days ago:
