Single Cell Software

And, the obligatory hyper-extended mix. Sometimes I can't quit thinking about sequencing & automating in different combinations. This version has a slightly higher bpm. But, now, it has a more laid-back feel to it.

Thank you for understanding my work. Each one is intended to be a journey. And, believe it or not, I hardly ever use more than one or two patterns per instrument in a song. It's, in my mind, like running the stings & gears for an automaton. Then, I have time enough to sit back and watch the show too. I manage to make songs so quickly because of my ADHD being bad enough to have figured out the quickest way of getting what's in my head to a point of being useful is by letting the machines do the work. This is how, and hopefully it helps you & any others reading this to better make music with Caustic. After all, we're all in the forum for the same reason.

With each beatbox, first, I'll make a complete pattern. Then, letting my dyslexia work for me, I copy/paste each of the channel's patterns in the order they'll be brought into the track. Other instruments are started with the slow, four or eight measure, background notes. Those notes & their pattern are copied, pasted, shrunk, placed at different octaves, and shifted left or right to make melodies. Along with that, all of the individual instrument's semi tuning is matched & I shuffle, shuffle, shuffle the shit out of all but one drum kit. For me, that one kit (usually the main kit) doesn't just break up the breaks better. It sets where the start is. Shuffling also seems to make smoother automations. Especially for modular, 8-bit, vocoder, and the organ. Limiters & compressors come in handy for the main controls. But, don't be afraid to slap anything else on there too.

Thanks again.

Thanks, man.

Thanks guys! I knew at least a decade ago that I wouldn't be too bad at making this music. And, not to sound like a bragger. But, damn! The more I listen to it the better it gets. There's so many layers. Yet, whilst making it, I could follow each sound with no problems. Now, I'm hearing it from an audience's perspective.

It's almost a weird & intense as me in person.

I hooked a vocoder to the only modular slot used on this track. Then, an auto wah effect was used on the vocoder. That effect's settings were: speed set to 11 o'clock, and cutoff & reso set to 7:30. That, and reverb & delay, are what sounds like in the back. There is a method to my madness. The same basic outline was used for Beam Me Up.
