hi it’s good to see the arranger getting some love?!@
not so keen on the claps (a little to late? abit low in the mix? just wrong?) but otherwise the track is smooth and sweet
thanks for sharing

Oh nice, old school trance! much love! I actually liked the off beat clap (very old schoolish)

And no, I didn’t hear any feedback I don’t know why would you need any feedback on this track, maybe put a mic in front of speakers and you will get feedback…

Thanx a lot for !
I like it very much to work with the internal Arrangers of the Elektron Gear , because its an complet different Workflow than in an Daw.
The Results has their own Charakter.

sorry, really don’t like trance…

but I love the arrangement
and the way you programmed it

i play live with mutes, macros and patterns
this video inspires me to do more with arrangements (songs and chains)

The workflow… create chains, connect these chains to each other in a song?

tnx

I don’t know anything about this genre and never listens to it, so my feedback isn’t worth the bytes used to store it. Still, here goes:

I thought the track progressed smoothly, with new elements introduced just when I wanted them to. This, combined with the slow swirling changes to the sounds helped a lot to avoid listening fatigue and made listening to it a pleasure. The only sound I got a bit tired of is the synth sound introduced at 0:58 that goes on for the rest of the track. I’d prefer to get a break from that for a while at some point.

As far as I can jugde the various sounds fit really well together. I’ve spent a lot of time playing with the Octatrack compressor the last couple of days and trying to get my head around how to use compression effectively, but am still very much a noob at that. So now I know even less about what I’m talking about, but I was wondering if perhaps your track would benefit from some subtle compression to make the various sounds “interact” more. Now they are kind of floating on top of each other. Probably what people mean when they talk about using a compressor as “glue”.

Anyways, this is way beyond anything I’m able to do. Really well done!
