IncompleatBeet

wazzup! i was burnt out from Jamuary, so i took a rest the whole week from music-making, only bust this out last minute today... quick beat in renoise, plus synths there too(aalto and kaivo), then into Max/MSP for FFT-processing, and then into Logic for final editing/mixing/mastering(plus to record a bit of guitar to add near the end)... seems i like Renoise most, but can be quicker in Logic for certain things(here, because FFT causes a delay, it was easier for me to compensate for that delay by editing beats and guitar to the visual of the fft-processed-waveforms in Logic... although i could calculate the exact delay(FFT-size plus signal-vector size), but i've found i end up creating more varied sounds/mixing by editing manually like this... just sounds a bit more detailed and human/organic in certain ways)
cheers! smile

I wanna summarize the write-up back at you: "wasp, I was burned out from January, so I last-minute uncompromisingly did every step with a nontrivial signal chan thru max/msp for a badass sounding thing" -- did I get that correctly? smile

I'm a sucker for anything that sparsely makes something magical out of very few elements, so hell yeah. The spectral processing is cool, doesn't sound like anything else, love how it (seems to, at least) become dry again by the time that acid bass comes in over the subs. Darkly dope!

(I am also 100% in the "edit it manually" and "nudge it a lil'" club)

Also like the fact that it could be an abstract remix of Yazoo's In My Room. big_smile

Haha! YES! Thank You so much for this! (I had it mixed up actually thinking it was an "ass-bad" sounding track, as in, 'so bad it fell out of an ass' but you're absolutely right, it didn't turn out so bad, and i should just own it big_smile)

Yay! I LOVE me some Yazoo! Haven't heard that track in awhile, it does carry a bit of that same progression, so honored. Thank you!
