I asked for a link to 50 a couple of weeks ago. Is it too late to get that uploaded?

Ice storm in Portland caused a power outage that cleared all of my patches. Rebuilding but it'll take a second. Can I get a link to week 49?

Week 44

This link seems to kick me to the front page as opposed to the upload page. Not working? I think maybe because the new week JUST clicked over.

So it seems the hotel I am staying in has a wi-fi outage. Could I get a code to post week 35 when I get back on Monday?

Re: Your process right now (37 replies, posted in General Discussion)

I start with a simple beat first and work around that. I hate metronomes. Then I start messing around with my synths. Designing patches on the fly, sequencing the arpeggiator, recording some chords to the midi sequencer... It's just a massive quilt of educated guesswork of what will and won't sound cohesive.

Eventually, I'll have a massive blob of sound I need to record into Ableton to add additional samples to, chop up, EQ, compress, and serve out.

This week was wildly different as I used no instruments, just prerecorded samples.
