Managed to get second place in the Elektronauts hip hop competition with this number: 

Now this is cool. Like it a lot. Great mix/master too, sounds v good, open and punchy, and balanced. You should see if you can find any music by a chap called Waiwan - did a couple of good albums way back, similar style

Thanks, I should add it's made entirely from samples from Alien other than the drum one shots.

This was made in an afternoon, 2 days after first touching the Roland TR-6S . It is completely on the 6S recorded into the MPC Software.
I actually think I’d like to start recording video of me performing with it and start putting it out there

Nice work.

Yeah video it. I think Dawless really benefits from being able to see what people are doing.

I've got a TR-6S, but I've never really bonded with it.
Seems you are doing some really nice stuff with it.

Just finished a new track, aimed at filling a dancefloor. Might have to try that out sometime. All I need is a dancefloor and loads of drunk people!!!

Nice tracks all. Here’s one I chopped up recently with @Artsutanov’s old MPC

not sure about the arrangement or how to end it yet but it’s progressing

The unexpected Bruce Hornsby remix.

I need to get an MPC at some point. 

I'm buggering about with a Model Cycles at the moment.

Very nice, how were the vocals done as they seem very formed, were they from scratch?

Here’s the latest one I’m working on - ended up very guitar heavy, despite the sequenced origins, so probably doesn’t quite meet the electronic criteria, but hey, nowhere else to drop it!

They're a sample that I bought. Needed chopping up and arranging whilst working on the general chord progressions and sound/vibe of the track. The Adlibs at the end were just ones that I had that were added to to make the ending more interesting than just a repeat of the chorus

Do any of you guys use mastering tools or otherwise for the finishing polish? 

I just tried Landr - AI based mastering (annd dirt cheap per song) and it was better than I thought it would be, certainly helped in boosting the levels and adding a bit of brightness and cohesiveness.

I always chuck things in a DAW and use Fabfilter plugins.

It makes a big difference.

You can usually get the basic version of Izotope Ozone for not too much cash.

dindude

Cool, thanks. I’ve limited myself to IOS so I’ll need see what’s available for that. 

monquixote

I think Fabfilter is available on iOS

hubobulous

I've used Tootrack EZ Mix and Ozone in the past. Tend to stick to Ozone now

Finally got around to spending some more time on the track that inspired this thread - adding some arpeggiated bass (as was the biggest suggestion) and a few other bits of stereo interest. Definitely plugs a hole that was there.

Here's a track mixing synths and a drum machine with guitars and live drums that we recorded at Abbey Road Studios a while back but that's taken a lot of mixing etc. to come together:

My latest a Synthwave reimagining of Alexander O'Neil 


It was a test track for the new Baby Audio BA-1 synth.

That’s really nicely done, the synth sounds are great too.

Cheers!

BA-1 is half price at the moment so it's well worth a punt.
