This week I kept it as simple as I could:

One hardware synth and two guitar pedals. Five tracks total. No FX sends. No mastering plugins, just volume adjustments and fades.

MIDI sequencing and recording with Ableton Live 9. Meeblip synth for all sounds. Danelectro PB&J thrift store modded digital delay. Zoom Sudio 1204 reverb.

Everything recorded straight to the DAW. EQ and knob tweaking while recording.

Hope you enjoy this one. Peace to all

Sometimes minimal is best; certainly seems to be in this case. Cheers!

smooth tunes, my friend! I am impressed by your ability to restrain yourself and work with a minimal setup. are you some kind of musical macguyver or something? how did you manage to make this sound loud enough without clipping and how can this work without mastering at all? obviously, there is only one explanation to this: voodoo.

Wow, there is a lot of different tones in there! A great interplay of different textures and wide arpeggios. Great tune.

Wow, nice job on keeping it simple and effective. Great vibe to this and that Meeblip sounds really good.

love that arped rubbery synth patch, this is what i like to think my synth gear works on when i'm sleeping smile  nice job!

Nice dreamy track, love that gnarly lead arp!

great crispy sound. Unbelievable you did no mastering. Gentle tune on top. Like it a lot!

Both musically and soundwise this is very impressive! Great work!
