Going with the same setup and approach as last week - resulting in stripped down and hopefully to-the-point acid. Live jam on a few cheap bits through a cheap mixer into a cheap recorder. Light mastering, no edits.

Love the shift and bass line coming in around :58. I also liked the many flourishes/fills the bass often did at the end of every few bars. The sounds coming in around 2:25 also added some nice bounciness and movement.

Whoa, this is some nice OG Acid!  One of my favorite genres!

Cheers, thank you for the detailed comment. It's fun to have some changes and turnarounds, yeah!

Cheers! Yeah, that is a long intro, longest I've ever made I think, haha. Approaching Drum bass length.

Yeah, great acid. Loving the sound-design throughline of the acid against that almost jawharp-sounding percussive synth (?)

love those bouncy beats and basslines! What's the effect chain on your 303?

It's the Modded Out Behringer, so it has an internal overdrive, filter FM, etc. So there's a bit of extra stuff to play with there. Other than that it goes medium hot into a Mackie mixer with a three band EQ. Usually put som Alesis MidiVerb II chorus/reverb on it, but I can't really hear it on this track.
