process

most everything was triggered by the ndlr (e.g. 4 tracks; pad/chord, bass, and 2 melodies) except for a few things like drums etc. initial stage was just focusing on the ndlr and then using the octatrack to trigger different chords on it to avoid having to manually play patterns from it.

i recorded a bunch of random jams and then spliced them together. i definitely wanna change this next time around and focus on using song mode again via the monomachine/octatrack and then record into bitwig.

thoughts

went well
  • things moved quickly
  • use of bitwig
  • discovered triggering ndlr making it much easier to use
  • learned about metering standards making changes in how i metered
  • recorded vhs tape sample to octatrack
went not so well
  • many disparate jams w/o a lot of thought
  • the 4 patterns used were rushed and didn't complement each other well
  • no external fx
  • spent little time on mixing
