Week 6 - laguna - Ciento treinta y dos
For those who don't speak Spanish, this week's title means "One Hundred and Thrirty Two", the actual BPM of my track.
I'm getting out of my confort zone, for sure. I'm a huge, HUGE techno/house lover, though every time I try to dip my toes on the genre the results are quite lame and boring. I'm so used to work on my downtempo stuff, that usually I'm a little bit lost when it comes to building a proper club track.
It all started with Renoise version 3.11, the last version which supports 32 bit plugins and also some sort of "baseline" for me. I make all my instruments there so they're portable across multiple platforms.
I was messing with a bunch of Roland TR 909 samples from various sources, trying to achieve that punch and swing. I made almost all the beat programming on Renoise 3.11, but then I needed a couple of synths and that version does not support VST3 plugins, so I continued on Renoise 3.4.4, did my best to structure the song until I really run out of tricks to properly compress and limit the track properly.
I spent almost all Saturday and Sunday on Renoise and when I finally bounce the project to stems, my trusty Mid 2012 Macbook started behaving funny, mainly because it has 2 hard drives inside and one of them - the mechanical one - is in its last legs, I think.
Well, long story short : this was mastered in less than 50 minutes. I'm not really happy with the "chorus" (some FM Dexed patch I created without really understanding all those Yamaha envelopes). At least the basic bassline has some swing IMHO.
I wanted to add some other synths here and there, like soft high arpeggios, or even better, a floating pad but... I run out of time. It's quite incomplete, as I see it, but his is Weeklybeats.
Any advice on the mix or the arrangement? Suggestions are welcome :)
I'll try to catch up with all those great comments. Real life brought me some serious boring stuff I had to take care, and now finally I have a break.
You are all wonderful, WB People. Please take care and be happy !!!
