From simple parts

This one was build while I slowly extract sample every hit from the "AnalogKit2" drumset from my beloved Yamaha RM1x. Quasi-XG MIDI sounds from a 90s groovebox that are really nothing to write home about, yet they always seem to fit together no matter what.

Lots of experimentation and cabling so now my trusty Mac Mini from 17 years ago broadcasts all audio and MIDI to a whole corner in my studio. It doesn't show at all in the song, but I'm recording quite more comfortably now, bit by bit.

I almost miss the deadline because i was sleep in the chair for at least 20 minutes. Time to go to bed.

Hope you enjoy this little one while you have a great week smile

Hahaha your GIFs are always fantastic. I think my cats would approve of them smile

Thanks for listening and your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed this little piece

Nicely done! Great sound design too

Really pleasing delays on every element especially the main chords.  A sweet laid back groove.

Every week I listen and read your post and go down some rabbit hole and always forget to come back and comment... Aha, so this is why I was reading about the Yamaha RM1x! lol

Sounds like a lost DJ Food track. smile I did the vibe and all those little touches in there. Glad you woke up for the deadline and got this one in for our enjoyment. smile

Also, I accidentally had Dadboy's Blizzard from last week playing in another tab when I started listening to this and it makes for a cool mashup: https://weeklybeats.com/dadboy/music/blizzard
lol

I think in your song you've emulated the nostalgic feel your mac mini has for you. Such a chill jam, the amount of reverb makes me feel like I'm sitting in your studio listening.

Some fantastic sounds you have crafted from the listed devices, really nice laid back dubby feel to this one, great control over the delay and reverb, it is strong but not overwhelming or getting muddy.
