Love the texture of this - and glad you’re in a good place! Looking forward to hearing more.

Did the full thing render? It cuts off very abruptly at :58.

Those intro chords are hitting the sweet spot.

These smooth synth sounds are great. Were they difficult to produce?

Thanks Paisleyfrog, I may fall back on some ambient stuff through out the year. I did cut this short on the mixdown, thought I had 1min looped but didnt.

2026 will be a big year! Im stoked

Thanks Cakes Im working to strengthen my chords, its my weak point. Ill be looking back on this one at the end of year to see how far I've come.

Much appreciated Danju, These are synths with presets in Ableton 12. They were not difficult to produce, I used an akai mpk mini to control the parameters of the synth and hit record. The hard part was choosing the chords.

I'm welcoming back for another year, straight from the future (week 6).

Boy, this is one of the finest intros I've heard in Weeklybeats this year. You NEED to re-render this one and give it a proper tail, so it can be send to a huge 3/16th delay and be played over the first four to the floor of the night

Extra KUDOS for the Ableton 7 respect. I still use Ableton 8 and do most of my stuff on 10 (I own 11, but my main setup is not that powerful to run it ... and I'm not missing much, IMO).

Looking forward to another year of your productions.

This was only just something to submit right after I had Ableton running and trying new instruments with my new midi, but it did sound pretty cool. I do promise I will revisit this and finish it. Originally it had a 4x4 beat but it was cheesy, we'll see If it works down the road. Thanks Laguna
