Great. There really isn’t a simple way to to just track everything out quickly. The more I use my hardware in early composition, the more I enjoy it though.

I’m way more loose with how I compose than I used to be and I think that’s a good thing. I used to be really obsessed with the grid and proper phrasing, now if it sounds good, I kind of don’t care. I think if I were writing specifically to be played by djs in clubs, it would be different. I really like swing, groove, and some randomness now. I think it’s a matter of now that I understand the rules, I know when to break them and don’t worry about it.

this looks cool, anyone used it?

I looked at it, but don’t really have a need. I’d rather use individual plugins that are higher quality than the ones baked into transit. I think it’s a matter of workflow, if it saves you time it might be useful.

apyssjw That’s a good record. I like those little tom/bass fills that bleed into the breaks.

      303abuser 👍 I’ve been making some more 160 / 170 / 140 - tuning the snare / tom within the fill works great at those speeds. There’s a little bit of that in here.

          Can anyone recommend me some decent ‘Swooshes’? Trying to do a remix…

          Unbroken1 I think this is just what I’m after. Many thanks Damo 👍

            apyssjw I may have to “borrow” that idea.

              Unbroken1 They’re both nice records. Enough tracks there for 6 of my projects. 😂

                Ableton 12.2 is in public beta now. Looks interesting, updates to autofilter and roar, bounce to new track. Roar is so good, any improvements there are a real bonus.
