Anyway, sounds great.

Thanks Wags.

Ready to be blown away? This is on a Surface Pro 4. The thing is an absolute marvel. I do need to keep a little fan on it to ensure it doesn't overheat though. Oh, and there's lots of track freezing so yeah only 20 or so tracks are unfrozen at any one point. The other trick I've learned is to automate the on/off for the plugins.

Cheers

Better than infected? I've just fainted. Time to retire I think

Lots of variation and cool sounds. Great job!

You could follow this up with "When CPUs Cry."

"Touch if you will my motherboard
Feel how it's burning inside
You've got the Quad Core all tied up
Even the GPUs fried."

I often get 150 plus, but nearly all are frozen, lol. 150 live tracks seems a bit pointless and a waste of electricity haha, and possibly fry your balls with EM waves, not good.

I thought it sounded pretty electronic.

Pretty much what I expected from Mushy, groovy, trippy af, great production and lots of crazy sounds. Ticks all the genre boxes

Not sure about these chopped voice samples, they sound distracting in places. Also I'm listening at work in earbuds so I can't really comment on mixing but I think the kick could cut though a bit better.

That’s a positive given it was the sound I was going for. I’m happy I succeeded in making my electronic electronics sound electronic

Thanks dude. I started reworking it last night to clear up the mix a bit. I have a new strategy/theory re kick & bass so check back in a couple weeks to see if it was successful.

Essentially I’ve put each bass note and velocity on a separate track so that I can EQ them individually and avoid sidechain. For example the first 16th note is now highpassed just above the body of the kick.

Sounds good so far but it was late so couldn’t crank it yet.

Yeah, i think that's what all these big guys are doing

I tried that myself few times but I was never convinced it sounded any better. Sorting the phase relations and relative levels between the kick and the first bass note typically works better in my case (I'm sure you know that Sonic Elysium tut)

Each track is different tho.

The biggest benefit is the complete flexibility I have now. I’m still yet to determine if there are phase issues but the plan of attack is as follows:
- high pass the first note
- adjust the velocity (which now is as easy as turning the entire channel volume down)
- adding something such as LFO tool on just that single track.
(hopefully only 1 and 2 are needed)

The benefit of all of the above is no matter what I do I know the 2nd and 3rd notes will be untouched and retain their full power.

Yeah the Sonic Elysium tut is great. Lots of tips and tricks there.

I didn't get the Prince reference initially.

I was thinking more along the lines of "....haze, all in my...."
