Fruity Sox

By Dank Receptor on Yesterday 7:12 pm

Too hot to work in the studio this week. Managed to sweat out a quick defMON jam, still.

Some reflections:
- Had fun exploring drum sounds
- More timing lessons
- Set up the C64U and defMON to use two SIDs (8580 & 6581), so the bass is slightly panned to the right and the rest slightly to the left
- Still only ended up using three tracks, but then the setup is ready for six tracks later
- Compressing hard in post yields massive amounts of noise big_smile
- Live tweaking is a bit clumsy

Recorded live to stereo through a Mackie. Slightly mastered in Ableton.

Fun times in the heat. Take care, thanks for listening!
