More tape house. Still very much in the experimental + honeymoon phase with plugins, so just kind of throwing things to the wall and making them stick. Did take some extra time to do some micro-edits like I've picked up from working with an m8. Man... the convenience of the m8 reseting an instrument to default parameters is something I can miss in Logic automation... I generally have to take time to make sure anything I've automated for a section goes back to default when I'm done with it. I know there are ways around this using touch recording, but I'm also trying out embedding automation in regions... truthfully I dont really get why those parameters won't reset if region automation goes out of scope, but eh, you learn to work with it.

Really cool piece! I agree about the UX of the m8 - it really hits the sweet spot of powerful yet easy to use, in a way that I miss when I'm working in other environments.

I just love the sound of tape decay. Just slathering it on synths is so much fun. Great track

A different sound from what I'm used to hearing from you, and still cool.  Evocative, too―especially that tape effect (need to see if there's a good app for that. tongue).  Jimmac is also working from a DAW this week―was there a memo?

Thanks for coming back! I actually think some of my friends that have been listening to my stuff for a while might think this is more in line with what they know ... last year's weeklybeats was a big excuse to depart, I'm trying to do things more off the cuff and naturally now.
Of course I can't ever throw off the experimenters coat so I'll keep doing stuff I've never done before and seeing what works.

Thank all yall for checking it out
