Ooooooh a GarageBand track, good vibes, feels like surfy-rainy mood, I like it a lot and the chord progression is sublime.

Good work

Very nice tones here!

Very nice tones here!

Les accords de guits sont sublime... Et oui ca "feel" grey rainy days. J'aime ben gros l'accord qu'on s'y attends pas.

Le "noise" (maybe les rivets de la ride?) rappelle la pluie.

Très réussi.

Thank you both!

Marci ben! Le rivet c'est un 2$ drain plug chain special   

Maintenant j'ai une cymbale qui a 2 vrais rivets, faudrait que je la sample aussi!

just like you seem to do, I love gray days! I find it incredibly cozy with rain outside, a bit of wind etc. puts me in a very happy mood. (people think its funny that I live in LA where people usually end up to avoid that stuff).

the track really fits the vibe you were going for and the drums, bass and the guitar strumming works very well. enjoyed it a lot!

im also fascinated by the process of your "band in a box". is it all just straight samples or how do you work with it?

Thanks for listening!

RE samples; what I did is record a bunch of one-hits over one long sample, for each instrument.

Ex: My Kick ''sample''is a 1 minute recording of about a dozen one-hits, with silence to separate said hits. Then on the m8, I'll just probe through until I find a hit that suits what I'm going for. For snare I did the same thing, with and without the snare wire, different sticks and muffling, etc but it's still just one sample labelled ''snare''

With guitar ; recorded a whole bunch of chords (about 20) then on the m8 I went to work with the slicing using the same logic.

Bass was a mix of open string, a few frets and harmonics, with and without a pick. I have about 35 hits for bass, all in the same long sample.

The beauty of it is you only need to slice everything up once. Then the slicing is imbued in the saved samples and I can bring everything up in new projects very easily.

With chords and bass it's fun because you don't necessarily know what the next slice is going to be, so it makes it fertile ground for naive experimentation.  It kinda feels like scrapbooking or something, lol

That’s super neat. Thanks for the explanation and great job

Super into this! Very contemplative mood. Appreciate you sharing your sample workflow - it reminds me of the long sustain piano sample that someone posted in the dirtywave discord

I'm also a big fan of cozy gray days
