W02 - Wade

By ENC_ on January 14, 2024 9:49 am

Made by hot swapping synths and playing parts into an old delay pedal's looper function. Recorded, layered, and manipulated the sounds in DAW with added effects and quick blind mastering. I tried adding percussion and running acid line but it felt better without it. A bit short on time this week so I made the call to leave things as is.


Gear Used:
- Boss DD-20 (used in looper mode)
- Roland Juno-6
- Casio CZ-1
- Yamaha DX7
- Tascam DR-40 (live record pedal looping)

Software used:
Ableton
Izotope Ozone 10
Sound Toys Echo Boy (telray oil can sim)
Fors Lode (removed from track)

Potentially return to this for texture/samples in later material. It was fun to return to this method of production. Not dissimilar to my early electronic music making process. The limitation is helpful in finding unexpected results.
