First track of 2023 on Volcas! This time, with the Drum added. This one is a super enjoyable drum machine, with lots of cool features. I wasn't sure how well it would work using both Beats and Drum at the same time, but that have enough of a sonic difference that I feel this worked in the end!
I don't particularly like recording the video on my iPhone. Quality is just not quite as good, but the amount of time it takes to get it out is occasionally reduced when I'm not having to fiddle with a tripod and a heavy camera body.
In the future, I'm thinking about bringing in a friend of mine to jam with me at the same time. But I'm gonna have to get a more permanent setup going for that to work. The person would be my WIFE :-)

This pieces is in D Major. Originally the first chord was D Minor which changed a lot of the way it sounded. I changed it to major a little later in the game, but was more uplifting and funky that way. Worked quite a bit on structure and buildups. I missed a few here, but in the end, was happy with the way this 10-minute 😲 jam turned out.
I recorded in Ableton Live 10 with an M-Audio M-Track Plus audio interface (super basic). The only stuff I did was throw a compressor and limiter on it to make sure we're getting the best volume out of the track we can. I used to record direct to camera, but found that I sometimes lost some of the sonic frequencies, especially in the lowend, and there was built-in compression of sorts that only slightly distorted the quality of the audio. So if I have time, I'll record in a DAW, even though I would still consider this virually a DAWless setup.
I named it "Sparks & Spectrums" because I felt the music had sparks of ideas colliding together to make something complete. I like alliterations too, but it took me a while to land on a final name for it.
I am happy to present this video in 1080p at 60fps. Make for a nice intro animation.
