Polymorphism

When LagunaGFX feels lazy, he spends one whole afternoon on Renoise crafting a beat from the lamest samples in the history of drum machines: the Kawai K50e... and then he panics when he realizes he doesn't have a single line of melody.

So? Who's he gonna call? Ghostbusters? No, Ableton Resonator (Los Angeles preset) through a vocoder through various delays, all with lots and lots of feedback.

Then he resamples one delay track, offset it and send it to the other delay, again, so it seems like the guy know how to compose melodies. Don't forget to pitch the whole thing +7 semitones or -5, and build some silly automation for the resolator so it changes note between the minor scale, at least.

The result: the highest CPU comsumption for his 12 y/o laptop and a really really messy mix.

Sorry for writing about myself in the 3rd person. I thought I was Barry White for a second wink

I'd love to clean the mix, sidechaining the delays or something. Frankly my ears are super tired and I've got lots to do tomorrow. This would be all for this week.

You guys are wonderful. Please be happy, wherever you are

Actually really love the mix. The understated feel is brought out by it, it sounds like reclining, falling backwards in slow motion but you're never gonna land. Wouldn't have known it was a 'lazy beat'!

YOU are wonderful!

Super interesting to read about a workflow that I'll most likely NEVER EVER try. lol

Fun listen, but I would say that this is the read that interested me the most.

Nice advanced trick you offered. I might need it one day. Here I like the mix too and the dubby feel of the song. Thanks
