Hope you get better soon and nothing too serious.  This beat has such a nice lurching/head nod feel to it, to my ears the drums have a nice punch, very smooth tune.

I hope you you are not infected with covid. You made an extremely nice track. Get well soon.

Heh... in the US, some employers make you come to work while you wait for your test results. Get well soon! I love the sounds; excellent work on the beat.

I love the syncopation when the second drums come in.
It doesnt need more drums, nice relaxing sound.

Thanks a lot, Jason! I think the tune has potential, though choosing the sounds is proving to be difficult.

Again, thanks for your feedback and the kind words!!!

That's my same hope, and it fortunatelly has signs of a common flu. Vielen dank für alles, mein Freund!!!

Oh, that's terrible!... though I think my company here in Spain would be delighted if they could squeeze some days out of us. Let's not give them ideas !!!

Thanks a lot for the criticism and the good wishes

Oh, I couldn't resist to add some "breaks" (from some kind of analoguish techno beat, slowed down). All those 909 beats sounded so cold and isolated on their own.

I'll work with what I have, though I think it would be nice to add some fills here and there.

Thanks a lot for your continuous feedback, Gesceap

I like how the huge kick kinda takes all the space when it hits, it's as if it cuts the track and when it's not there the rest of the more delicate instruments surface. It makes for an interesting dynamic. I hope you did not get covid and you have a prompt recovery!

Hope you feel better! I hope it's just a mild cold!

Hoping for the best for you.  Get well soon!

Great beat here, love that little bleep noise and the blip arpeggio hiding in the back, later at the end.

Oh, I used a really practical device called "signal follower" on Renoise, which in turns controls the gain of another track. It's an easier and straightforward way of getting that "pumping" effect without depending on the mystery of a compressor's inner workings (which I've always wanted but have never been good at getting).

Finally it is actually COVID, but I'm leaving behind the fever and gladly having no more symptoms at the moment.

Thanks a lot for the kind wishes!!!

Thanks a lot, Ipa!!! It wasn't just a cold after all but I'm having quite bearable symptoms. I'm trying to live it as some kind of unspected vacation, after all these months "in the streets"

Again, thanks a lot for the great positive vibes (and the GIFs)

Thank you, Orangedrink!!! I'm feeling much better now

I'm not very fond of sample libraries, but I found some "construction kit" in my archive, all fancy 24 bits stereo samples. I turn them to mono, 16 bit and shortened the hell out of them, so I could create my own chops instead of splicing 8 bars of premade library music.

The bells are basically glockenspiel samples that I use in a back and forth loop so they could be sustained. I think everything was sampled in the same key so I could put it through long dalays and it still "fits" together nicely.

The end is the whole Send group resampled and pitched down. It's a great trick to create variation from an existing arrangement, and since I suck at synthesis, I abuse it every time I can.

Thanks for being there every week, man! All the best back to you
