Analog Man in a Digital World

By Dastein on May 18, 2014 6:30 pm

I often see some you guys say "...I whipped this up in 45 minute because I was busy all week..." and never understood how that was possible. Well I ditched my week long idea last night and started from scratch this morning. Not 45 minutes but 4 hours certainly feels like 45 minutes to me. Not my best but its post-able. Enjoy! 

It's pretty funny when "not my best" turns out really fucking good. This track is great! I can't even tell what bits my favorite. I love the beat in the first half. There's a synth that rolls in mid way through, very "Battle of Eden Prime". Seriously, this brought a huge smile to my face.

Thanks Barham! It seems having the courage to jettison an idea you've nurtured for days...the night before a deadline isnt as scary as it sounds. Working under pressure isnt my favorite either but this one did come together quickly.

Groovy! Nice melody and I really dig the mix.

I feel you! Sometimes we mess with a "meh" idea trying to give it a certain shape, but... sad

Takes courage to ditch so much work, but sometimes doing so frees you. Nice basslines, by the way smile

This sounds BIG! and nice how this morphs into differend things..

Weekly Beats is teaching me how to make decisions like that.

Huge and different are a qualities that I strive for.... !  Thank you so much for listening and commenting!

head nodding like a mofo

Mmmm... Big sci-fi cinematic sound. Very much heart! Seriously great results despite the time deficit!

awesome clean and diverse production!! And yeah, i feel you. Sometimes you play for hours and days on a certain musical idea and it won't fit. And sometimes, you get an inspirational boost and manage to do something awesome, not knowing how you did it afterwards. I think it's the case with this track. Great!
