a slow return to what's complete

a bit of a different one this week.

I was determined to get my head around my sp404 so this week has been entirely tracked and processed in there.  acoustic guitars were done with an sm57 rested on my desk.

I had fun resampling everything and slamming it with the effects

the two synths were from vhs synth and ableton note on my phone - sent into the 404 via usb.

I did resort to sequencing in ableton - I'll try the 404 sequencer next week.  or maybe I'll sequence it from koala not sure.

not 100% happy with the workflow for recording vocals into the 404, was rather laborious waiting for samples to restart etc - though I think the looper may be the answer to that.

some (a fair few) pitchy vocals somewhere but ::shrugs::

guitar is dadead

Sounds like a fun creative process to go thru that recording process.

It sounds great. Really like what you did with the acoustic guitars. Nice vibes with the cool beat and vocals.

A chill vibe to chill to, and very comfy vocals

Oh I love this so much. Chills.

Guitar sounds great - that sequenced/acoustic sound makes me think of Nujabes, an electro-organic feel. Vocals are amazing. I don't care about slight pitchiness, I think it works well with the real feel of the guitar. Nevermind just how amazingly lush they are. Great track.

That's a fun limitation to work around and a nice way to familiarize your self with a new tool. Well done, the results are nice.

This is fantastic!! It sounds so good, and I love the overlapping acoustic guitars! Your vocal tone here is great too!!

Nice little jam, really like the guitars on this and the vocals work great as well
