I’m very happy I managed to find some time and do my first track I was working on an other track for some time, but it was not really coming together - and I thought I will try something new and simpler.
It’s “played” on Analog Four and recorded as a stereo master into DAW. There I’ve applied a limiter only. It was really something new for me to play a groovebox in the real time - I’m more of a keyboard player :).
I know I overdid the effects and the mix could be better (and the structure is really simple), but I’m happy that I was able to do something that is worthy of uploading. I suffer from lack of time and procrastination
Thanks - to be honest I’ve used 3 1/2 voices One voice is only doing the “ping” sound in the beginning of the latter patterns. I tried to put more sounds there, but the mix was so dense there was no place for it.
My ear’s lack of attention to detail might explain why I haven’t made better tracks. But, rest assured, they are good enough to determine what is good. And YOUR TRACK is GOOD!
Some time ago I wrote to a user that had a problem with Analog Four being a weird poly to treat it as a 4 mono synths.
But now I see that with preset p-locks it’s more of 4 mono synth tracks (not limited to one sound) - exactly like 4 channel trackers I used heavily many years ago. It helped with taking 4 tracks to full effect. And I found that the p-locked reverb send really helps with making the impression that the sound lasts longer leaving the track free to trig other sounds from the same track.
I’d just want to add that I recently figured that the “interacive modulations” (Performence, Mod weel, etc) bring the synth even further, it’s an incredible little beast !
It’s my beginnings so I kept it simple - but as you write I used one Performance knob to do all the buildups - it controlled one synth track and the drums.
I admire guys that can control many Performance knobs and change the patterns and do other stuff in the same time . But I’m sure it will come with the experience.
One question though - is there a way to “filter” trigs and see in the sequencer only the trigs made with selected sound from the Sound Pool? Or any other way to get a clearer view which trigs have the same presets?
In this track there are something like 6 different sounds in the drums track and it was hard to keep track of what is where…
