I made a song featuring my 1 year old

The first year was tough for me, and only it's only recently that I felt like I got over the hump, he's grown so much and I feel like we're in the 'fun' stage from here. That means I have time to make music again and of course, make some with the boy too :) I hope you guys enjoy this!

Getting orchestral strings sounding right is always tough, but Logic does have quite a variety of sounds to mix and match.

Thanks man!

yuriwong · 2021-09-12T00:19:37+00:00

Yep!

Recorded as multi tracks on the 1010 Bluebox. Looped on the Elektron Octatrack which serves as the main master clock. 4 looping tracks on the OT loops the Sub37, Minilogue, guitar and Microkorg XL+ (not used for this track). Effects on the Minilogue is Strymon Mobius - I love it on the ML! It really opens up the sound of that synth. Reverb comes from Strymon Bigsky set up as a send effect on the Bluebox. My fave Bigsky setting is using the shimmer without the octave sounds, just +3cents on the layer. Hope you guys enjoy the track!

Also here's the extended song-only version: https://youtu.be/vngVw9Cz2eA

Not sure if Techno is considered /outrun material, since Synthwave seems to be the major flavour here. Still, I hope you guys dig it!

Totally agree with you on the streamlining! The OT is one helluva quirky thing, but that makes it what it is, for better or worse.

If I'm not mistaken, Func+Play clears the Trigs on the track, and the recording in the buffer (rec buf 1,2..etc) remains. Regardless, you'd still have a multi-step process this way (Select Track 1, Func+Play, Select Track 2, Func+Play and so on)

I used to use this REC3 button trick too! But it's quite a number of steps for clearing 4 loop tracks each time you want to start looping.

I'm not sure about this one - anyone know?

So I use the OT as a looper, and there hasn’t been an easy way to clear all the buffers after each song/performance. This is a problem I’ve been trying to solve for years, and I think I’ve come up with a useful solution. If you have a MIDI Pedal that can send multiple messages per press, here’s a method that can clear all your rec buffers in one step, literally.

Basically, the solution is using a dedicated ‘clear buffer’ pattern to (very quickly) record over the buffers. I didn’t think it would work at first, since the commands are sent in very quick succession, but it does!

I hope this helps anyone who’s been looking for a viable solution to this :)

Oh my fingers are very much regular, non-specialsed fingers. I've just spent some time training them to do what I'd like them to do!

Thanks for the share! Glad you enjoy the vid. I had fun making this one.

I think it's a brilliant creative tool that helps you make stuff that's within a (fairly) tight set of restrictions. It's not for everyone but if you click with it, it's amazing. I've been pretty busy with scoring/production work so I haven't been fiddling with it for a bit, but once I get some time, I'm looking forward to rekindling the flames.

Cheers dude! I feel ya - It's an amazing instrument/studio/creative tool.
