Day 280: Friday 3 June 2016
Maschine A Day #15:
I have been continuing with my little side project of quick tracks using either iMaschine 2 or Alchemy, if you recall I chose these apps because they each have 4 tracks to use which gives a broad enough palette of sound to work with and I find them both easy quick and fun.
I’m not posting all of these on this blog but occasionally, like today, they make an appearance.
This one has no effects applied, it’s simply iMaschine 2 jammed (by muting and unmuting parts) into Audiobus.

Day 279: Thursday 2 June 2016
Perambulate (Before It’s Too Late):
A slow and calm ambient piece today, a break after yesterday’s frantic trip to dance land.
The initial sketch was made in Alchemy but I exported the individual tracks, both audio and midi, into Auria for more controlled arranging and to add some more synth sounds. I used one track from Addictive Synth, one from Poseidon, and two from Auria Pro’s inbuilt FabFilter Twin2.

Day 278: Weds 1 June 2016
The Disconnect Foundation:
Today I left my comfort zone and made sort of dance track. EDM I believe is the umbrella term.
I continued with my exploration of Gadget and decided to leave it at it’s default 128 bpm instead of slowing it down to my preferred speeds, it’s mostly about loopy dance styles so instead of subverting the paradigm I thought I’d run with it.
The sounds and loops are from Gadget but I exported to Auria for the final arranging, I find that easier and more versatile.
Hmm only two apps, that’s getting pretty low for me. Though I did make 6 tracks in Gadget: two instances of London, two of Bilbao, and one each of Chicago and Amsterdam.
