Ah yais those resonators in Ableton are inspiring and fun to use.  Delay is always my "i need a fill but i'm impatient" go to    Really nice soothing ambient electro vibes throughout in this.  Nice work!

Immediate head nodding, feeling this one, nicely dubbed out vibes!

i can just hear Leonard Cohen singing over this. Well singing might be a stretch. Saying some cold shit.

I feel you. This is a perfect example of why WB is great though. The imperative show up creatively even when you're not feeling it and feel like you're running in circles. And you've still made something pretty interesting. I really like the metallic quality you've brought out with the resonators alongside the grainy hats. It's nice combo. The lil' reversy breaks are a nice touch too.

I can hear the ennui in this track, it's a mood! Sounds great to me, thank you!

like the techno dub vibe. I agree with others, this is just something nice you bob your head to, nothing wrong with it at all

This has a great dubby vibe to it, nothing wrong with the above formula, worked great here, really like the stripped back drum outro.

Yamaha RM1x? Very cool!

Too bad you didn't make it this week, I hope to see you back for Week 5 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I'm catching up after almost a month of silence! Really thankful to all of you who kept posting despite my silence. It is really really really nice of you. Life gets in the way big time. You're great!!!

Thanks a lot, Eric. Yeah, resonator, the autofilter envelope follower and a general abuse of "resample and pitch it down one octave" are basically my essential tactics to hide extremely boring arrangements

Definitely a collection of drum fills could save any rainy day!

Glad you're diggin' the vibe. The dub techniques are quite an influence for me... and I hardly can finish a mix without abusing the delay sends

Hah! at first I was striked by the comment, though I clearly remember trippin' over "First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin" when I was a child and how Cohen's coldness over a new wave beat instead of a folk guitar sounded so cool and badass, so yeah, I'm pretty honored by the observation, man!!!

I agree with you, yeah. Sometimes I think most of us feel we're "wasting our time" rescuing some pointless arrangement and then, with fresh ears, you think the song turned to be quite more fresh than you initially thought.

I must admit I perform this technique "by the numbers" at this point, though the chord changes were more sweet to the ear than I expected. Anyway, I put extra effort to add some variation and interest resampling the effects and playing with the "frozen audio" (and then abusing Ableton's timestretch algorythms)

Thanks a lot for listening, mate

Well, not exactly boredom, maybe I'd call it frustration with the lack of groove. I think in the end it turned up OK, though the middle stages sounded completely dead... maybe that's the way of the groove

Thanks a lot! It turned to be happier and groovier than I initially expected!

Glad you're vibbin' to this. Please enjoy

As I said in previous replies, I'm really happy to hear it turned out quite more groovier than I expected. The initial stages were boring and dull as hell. Extra grateful for the "dub" appreciation, XC3N

Hey, man! Really glad to hear you back! Thanks again for listening and vibing. You know, it's one of those things that you do so many times, with so many dull beats, that "feels like cheating", although neither the chord nor the beats made themselves by magic. Guess maybe some great musicians had some self doubt momemts, kinda Miles Davis going "oh, I'm doing that cheap modal swing be-bop thingie... people will know how really lazy I am"

and no... I'm not comparing myself to Miles.

About the outro: I think that loop came out quite shiny after production. I think I used my Yamaha RM1x, some Roland R8 samples and Renoise for sequencing and mix so... it's nice to know someone noticed the little details

Ah, yes, the RM1x is one of those pieces of kit that I learn to appreciate with the years. I've never been as profficient in it as some Youtube wizards I follow, but every time I think "that's it! i'm done with this one! it's a dead end", something comes along and I keep going back to it for a phrase, a sound, maybe some pattern.

My perfect setup right now (and it will be featured in the future) is a cheap laptop running Renoise coupled with the Yamaha, in front of the living room's TV. Call it a poor man's resampling rig, but I keep obtaining interesting sounds from a machine that's both cool looking and full of 90's groovebox charm.

And BTW, I DID MAKE IT THIS WEEK, except I made it on Thrusday!!! (it's a really long story, but basically I understimate the effort to render a LGPT project from a PSP to the real world)

Please have a listen if you have a moment. Thanks a lot, RPLKTR !!!!
