But the combination of instruments, FX and the mix you have set up makes for an incredible sound. Lovely.

I prefered the first version.

I knew you would, and I think I do to. Proof that trying to get something ārightā is pretty much a waste of time with such an immediate setup.
I think the second version would sit better on an album amongst other tracks, but the first has that raw magic about it.
I might post the other 9 takes, just to illustrate the folly of perfectionism in live electronic music production.

Heres why.
The first one had a really good intro. Nice weird Lyra noise, strings, bassline, hihats. The order of appearance gives a very nice set up of characters in the story. The erica arp is doing its thing all over the place, and the DFAM beat holds it all together. I also think the mix was better in the first one.
Where as the second one felt disjointed, even though it wasnt. Like it made sense, but the first one told the story in a more convincing way.
I know dude, I did a track last year for a label and it is anything but perfect, dozens of takes later and I just coulnt capture the same feel of the one that was sent as a demo. So I just went fuckit, the demo is the one. They mastered it, it went on the complication, mistakes and all. Go figure.
Proves a point someone one made years ago when I played in a band, " the audience cant hear your fuckups"

I completely agree.
Itās like the more takes I record, the more life I suck out of it.
The first take is all the machines doing their thing and me just holding on. Every take I do after that Iām taking more and more away from the machines, who are obviously better at it than me. I think Iām just gonna trust them more.

To be honest, all eletronic music is just knob twiddling really. Be they real knobs or virtual ones.

This one is from a while ago, but features DFAMā¦ twice! Theres a sample and live DFAM. The rest is TR8-S and Octatrack.
Recorded live in one take as is my want. Bit happy and plain, but the mix is alright.

That is nicely mixed. I like how well the bass sits in the mix, itās there, but itās not taking the focus away from all the nice little percussive details. Kinda takes me back to my clubbing days. I like how the DFAM is snappy and woody all at the same time, youāve captured that really well in this track.

Iām not a dog person (in the sense that I donāt have one), but when the DFAM enters the song, it feels like something is telling me to SIT! So I sit.

More of a skater myself. But that was fully gleaming the cube.

I was never a BMX guy, always ridden Mountain bikes. My wife named the track, no idea where she got it from, probably some 80ās nostalgia bullshit.
