A 1hr jam made late last night on the digitakt. I’m really quite pleased with it! Inspired by the 5minute challenges this is a 1hr challenge. Music made in an hour, with a performance afterwards.
One of the rare occasions for me that the live effects tweaking worked well at making new sections for the beat and a nice ending too. All sounds are just a selection of beats, radio garden samples and piano sounds. Oh and a little bit of auto mastering and high end eq boost on the recording.
I already posted this in the hiphop thread, but my latest instrumental album is done completely on the DT
I did sample a lot of other instruments, like my rhodes, moog grandmother and some guitar. A lot of samples from my record collection serve as the backbone.
The DT is a really inspiring box to work on, and I didnt really feel limited in any way.
Perhaps they meant the bass in the beginning, but you may have wanted it that way. But maybe they just prefer more tightness to the clock and synchronicity?
If it is a done track and sounds good to you, then it’s perfect. There’s no right or wrong way to do music. If it is how you want it exactly, then that’s how it is supposed to be.
fwiw, i was talking about the first 1:20 where the breakbeat sample is too fast for the DT’s tempo.
when the sample changes around 1:20, it’s in time.
but if it sounds good to you…
What, huh? Speak up, I didn’t quite catch… oh, ah, I’ll get my coat.
Anyway, who wants. to test their lugholes on this:
CAUTION You do so at your own risk and it may cause dizziness and feelings of unease, or it may just bore you, which is also totally normal. It’s advised that children should only listen when supervised with an adult.
Ah ok, appreciate the explanation. that’s cool. I did think you was originally joking and referring to the timestretch at the start being half speed . Sorry if I offended you with my ‘faulty ear’ reply, reading it back it is aggressive … please accept my apologies
Yes, I see what you mean now. The breakbeat sample just before 1:20 has some trailing empty space I think, so even though I’m using the LFO to sync to bpm…the trailing empty space is throwing it off a tad.
Is this your piano or a sample? Do you have any tutorials I get so easily ovewhelmed when it comes to hip hop even though I have no troubles with SP404 or Ableton
