Ultimatum

Trying to decide whether to keep the Analog Four. I think it passed my test.

Live techno track using Octatrack and Analog Four.
Using the A4 as 4x acid lines.
Octatrack is using 4 tracks for processing the A4, doing kinda of glitchy shimmer/timestretch delay/reverb effect.
1 track for kick+rumble
1 track for claps
1 track for hats/percussion
1 track for master filter and reverb.

Fixed a little bit I messed up in post using the M8 and added some limiter.

Trying to get better and more confident doing live stuff, I did about 10 different recordings using mostly the same material, some turned out better than others, but I mostly liked this one. Figuring out how to start and especially end a track is really hard. Need more practice with this stuff, but it was a lot of fun.

I know it sounds silly, but I love that 8th hat. (i waaant it XD)

Everything blends so well!
The hats, kicks, claps, bleeps, and bloops. It's great stuff!
Also, I'm digging into the fact you did this live; keep up the practice! You got this!


Sounds great! Your practice is paying off I'd say!

I'm in the same boat re: live performance. The live aspect is definitely a big part why the Elektrons are so good. Timing everything right, having it set up so that you can do smooth transitions, and sometimes having three hands... it's not easy! But it's definitely very rewarding that you actually know you are performing music live, instead of being a glorified Play Button Pusher.

I like the track, the duo definitely packs a punch. Good job on the performance!

There's a scary aspect to the interval used

This is really nice and organic, i think it came together nicely!
