303abuser Congrats! Can’t wait to give it a listen.

Morty-C-137 Thanks, makes the last album sound like it was high passed. 🤣

We’re both quite happy with how it turned out. Slowly getting closer to the sound I’m looking for, more roots influences this time around.

Great stuff, hope it passes the snake-charming rumble-test.

Best let Edwand know it’s Dub so it doesn’t freak him out too much

303abuser

Mad_Cyril Lol I’m sure he knows to stay away at this point. Only has himself to blame if he hasn’t learned.

The subs should get a work out, we sacrificed a bit of loudness for more bass on a few tracks, snakes beware.

Looking forward to the release date. Will it be on Bandcamp.

303abuser

Dubman Cheers, it’ll be free or pay what you want through Insectorama (https://insectorama.bandcamp.com/music). I’ll link it here when it’s out too.

apyssjw latest trackspacer update. Is a bit more CPU heavy than I’d like but definitely using it in the mixing arsenal from now on.

New album is out now, we’re proud of it and curious to see what people think. The digitakt and syntakt are all over most tracks, some live horns, tons of sub bass and trippy dub sounds.

303abuser First off .. let met congratulate you on finishing and putting out another body of work!! I know how satisfying that feels.

Don’t know your first name, but I find your work ethic inspiring and one I like to follow as an example. I can’t seem to finish a song the pas two months to save my own life! Due to (in part) some mental fuckery and other areas of life taking time and energy away.

About the album: Some great sounds in there and, to me, it feels like an excellent piece of dub plates. Cohesive. And you weren’t kidding about the subs! 😀

303abuser not had a chance to listen properly, but will do and drop some comments. Will release my next album probably at the end of next month now.

303abuser

Morty-C-137 Thanks, that means a lot. 🙂

I don’t even see it as work ethic, I just finish what I start and I really enjoy doing it. It’s more like muscle memory at this point. And I know what you mean about life getting in the way. I’m starting a 2nd business, so it’ll be a miracle if I finish anything in the next 6 months. I do find I come back to it with new energy and ideas after a break though, so it’s not all bad.

Unbroken1

…yeah, well done man! To echo Morty’s sentiments, inspiring to see you getting projects finished. 2nd album is a proper achievement. Look forward to checking it out.

For what it’s worth, have completely changed my workflow recently and am feeling much more confident about taking projects to completion now… have a couple of studio sessions with someone I have a lot of respect for coming up, so hoping that will push me over the line into self-sufficiency on the production front.

303abuser

Unbroken1 Cheers! That’s 2 solo and 2 with Stephen now. Finishing albums with someone else doing half the work definitely makes things easier. We just finished a remix for another Canadian producer, took maybe 3 days all together.

Good luck with the new project, once you get your workflow sorted, everything becomes so much easier.

New ones 👍

303abuser

apyssjw Thanks, looking forward to seeing what you think. Congrats on the new album too!

Push 3 out. The MPE expressive pads look useful. Not sure how useful the other elements are but I’ve only seen a brief vid this afternoon.

apyssjw Paid about £499 for Push 2. And it isn’t that great. Push 3 has added a some additional MPE sensitivities. A few more buttons. And slightly better graphics. And they want £899 for it. The standalone looks nowhere near as good as Maschine + which is around half the price of the Push 3 Standalone.

Ableton 11.3 is out today too. A worthy addition is Drift which is a simple subtractive synth (do we really need another) with some nice ambient sounds. Can’t really see anything else worthy of note in the upgrade. Probably is some small improvements here and there. If I could be bothered to look.

Oh yeah agree. For clip launching I prefer my original apc40. I do like doodling melodies with the pads, but everything else I could do before. Honestly I barely use either at the moment.

No way am I arranging or mixing using a stand alone box. I need a bigger screen not a smaller one.

Still happily on live 10.

I think if I was working completely ITB, I’d probably own a push. Every time I look at what they want for what it offers, I’d rather spend the money on hardware or creative plugins. The cost for v3 seems insane to me.
