303test

I'm always amazed by people that can use a 303. Love the sounds and the whole groove it brings to a song. So i put it in my head that i really should learn how to use it. i sold my hardware version of the synth so i just the mono-synth from logic that is basically the same idea. it went weirdly hardtech-like even though i have no idea what that really means. i think i just tried to channel my old days where i listened to old thunderdome cds in the car but now through the sense of me trying to make it work for me in 2026.

Ha, I also used a 303 this week! And we both missed the opportunity to make our runtimes 3:03, so close.

The 303 is definitely the front and center of this piece! My little suggestion would be to sidechain it against the kick. That way the kick drum would be more prominent in the mix.

This is awesome! I never saw the appeal of the 303 for years, and it's just recently clicked, and I really want to pick a hardware version up. I dig a lot of the glitches in here, too! I do agree with RPLKTR that some sidechain could be nice, but this already is pretty awesome.
