@amku donāt try to play along with A=440 
- in the sample pack I labeled the pitched one-shots with approximately how many cents they are off from the nearest A=440 note value
@Sharris thank you! I am looking forward to trying out the samples in my Octatrack, I really like the out-of-tune toy piano/music box quality, and I baked the MD fx into one of the kits as well, should be very fun to mess with - Iāll have to use this MD kit for another piece sometime in the future, although Iāll probably mess with the samples first

Thanks!
@defenestration, sorry I canāt hear / watch it. Not network at home, bad luck series. Chocolate pounder pack exploding at breakfast, 10 liters wines bag in box with a hole, cat stuck in neighbourās caveā¦soā¦as soon as network is back. 
@nionmu I could hear you with smartphone network! Really interesting and unexpected too. Kind of asiatic mood harmony. Sorry to say I think you can do a better version concerning sound design / fx / mixing, because thereās a really good base. What did you use?

thanks for your feedback - just listened to it in the car and think i see what you mean, it is a little muddy, especially in the lows and low midsā¦ overall balance is not good. it is done mostly rytm only and stereo recording with no mastering, except cutting extreme low and high frequencies in ableton. most sounds are made in rytm with the sample from the beginningā¦ arp sounds are from digitone. might work on that mix a bit if i am in the moodā¦ guess i should try to better separate the elements from each other also the kick is a little over the top maybe
what do the others think in terms of mixing? opinions/suggestions?

Listening in a car is great, I always forget to do it from laziness but when I do my mixes turn out better. As far as mixing I also heard that ear fatigue can change the way you listen to a track drastically so I think its good to take breaks from music/sound.

Sound design is done. Just the arrangement, performance, recording, auditioning (in the car, of course) and re-recording to do and Iām done!
Iām gonna be sweating to get this finished in time.

I made another version, hopefully more balanced - worked on the kits directly on the machines and did a new recording. (a little noisy)
please submit your songs, folks- only a few days leftā¦ but no preassure 
the few submitted tracks have been great so far

Had hoped to make something more proper, but damn itās been busy here.
Recorded what I had on the little Digis and left it at that, at least thereās something.

I took the laziest route and just sampled the first youtube hit when googled Jingle Bells and did something that Iām not proud of. Enjoy!

Just finished recording (all live, no overdubs, about 370 takes).
Just a bit of limiting and compression, some auditioning in the car, a bit of last minute tweaking and itāll be ready.
Itās a bit shorter than I would have liked, but a nasty dose of shingles earlier in the month limited my time (as well as two jobs and a nine month old) so youāre only getting 2:30 out of me.
