Protocol Glitch B

By Napear on October 15, 2024 4:52 am

Ok... it feels VERY strange submitting on Monday... but here we are.  I'm kind of double dipping on this one, as this is a track I did this week for a class assignment... hence why I finished it on Monday... but I'm actually pretty pleased with how it turned out.  This track was mostly done on the Tracker Mini.  I sampled most of the sounds from VCV Rack over the last couple weeks, with the exception of the second lead voice, that's the trackers WTFM synth engine.  Then I did the final mix down and master in Logic. 

Gotta say I'm really digging the workflow on the Tracker Mini, it's just very immediate and intuitive (for me anyway).  I'm really looking forward to getting a few more tracks done with it, though the newest beta community firmware for the Deluge has multi-track stem exports ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ!!!!  FINALLY!!!  Which is like the one feature that has prevented it from fully being my daily driver.  I mean it lets you do a LOT to mix in the box, and there are a few work arounds for getting multi-track recordings out, but they are tedious.  So, I feel like having multi-track export means there's gonna be a LOT more Deluge music making in my near future.

Ooo yeah, I’d double dip on this too. Very atmospheric but still packs a punch.

This really retained the modular feel through to tracking in the mini, really nice composition in the end and I love the synth swells and percussion. One thing to watch - and I mention cuz I have to watch this myself all the time - mid-high percussion panned hard left or right and sound very perceptually loud. For the most part it's fine here because other elements balance it out but there's a few moments where one particular blip is repeating in one side of the stereo image and really stands out above the mix. Great track though, glad you're enjoying the tracker workflow! Also jealous of your Deluge.
