Yeah, it is sometimes super hard to let it go!

You develop workflows, have your go-to sounds, signal paths... And yeah sometimes you are just lucky.

In your defence, track sounds very well done and polished. Mix is wide and everything sounds at his right place. It sounds like you did put good care and effort on the track.

I always a track with nice kick and claps.

Sorry I don't have much "constructive feedback" to give, I don't know much about that style of music but it was a fun listen for me. Well played.

No, that’s totally fine. I really appreciate your words and your perspective. I often focus too much on the things that aren’t quite where I want them to be yet and forget about the parts that are already working well.

I’m really glad the track brought you some enjoyment!

Well made.

When in the flow and using a known track layout, that's entirely possible but almost never planned. Known presets/samples come only into play once I am already in the flow and have a few motivs or rhythm pieces. Getting there is the hard part.

Sometimes when fiddling with a new synth or fx plugin, playing around with the presets and or parameters, something sticks. That's when to drop the "lets get to know this plugin" behavior and go all in at "wow, that sounds great, lets make it into a track" flow state. That can be 2-4 hours, however getting it all into shape so I have a presentable rough mix is 2 days total if I don't try anything fancy, only applying what I already know. But getting fancy is the part that can make the track special, so you might want to keep it in cold storage for a few months so you apply knowledge and ideas you meanwhile gathered.

Magical rave vibes, radiant energy!

Thanks a lot!

I really feel that. For me, it’s super important to move from the loop into the arrangement as quickly as possible. As soon as I start fiddling around too much and spending hours on individual sounds, that’s usually where I lose a lot of time.

Right now, I’m thinking about splitting my workflow:

Part 1: Finding the right sounds and creating elements that work well together without too much context.
Part 2: Writing melodies, basslines, and building the arrangement around those sounds.

Maybe that will work

That sums up the track perfectly, thank you!

That sounds familiar I hope the new approach works out for you.
