this isn't good but I'm posting it because I'm proud of it.

I've always wanted to be more musical but never really had the opportunity as a kid and as an adult just never went for it. I've always been a big finger drummer though. I saw a video of fred again playing a song live on his Maschine Mk3 and kind of thought hey.. is that the instrument I've been practicing my whole life to play?

aNyways, a ton to learn. a ton a ton a ton. but this thing let me make this very rough track in maybe 20 minutes, after owning it for a week and putting in ~10 hours of mostly just loving around. I am going to put in the time and work and become a loving master on this thing I swear it.



and even if I don't I'm having an utter blast. this is pretty much just a couple live beats laid down, not much editing - and then some effects added with the extremely fun performance bar (all the tremelo at the beginning)

Very Tangerine Dream-ish




drat well since you guys are WAY way too kind here's a couple more - these are more constructed songs rather than just 2 live sessions like the last one. very basic still and lots of little mistakes to clean up but im having fun!!

some dark beats with my buddy on guitar sample:

hip hop beat with a not at all ripped off bass piano melody

Hey cool I figured out how to record live in Maschine rather than needing to pre-assemble samples. It's not going to be as good as something intracately crafted from single bar loops of course but it's pretty fun

This is actually kind of almost a real song.

I need to work on my melodies a lot but there's parts of this I'm actually quite proud of!

Ok this song is really cool I think. I'm really proud of it. Not super happy with the intro lead synth but once the drop hits at 1:13 :hellyeah:

I really need to work on song composition. This is just 7 16 bar song sections and that's it, I need to start figuring out how to insert cool little 4 bar breakdowns and stuff

I have to say, I think honestly this might be the first time ever that I'm happy with my mix. See what you think.

Cool, sounds like a Weakerthans track

Haven't gotten much practice in recently, busy summer (and I guess fall is almost done too???? jfc) , but I think this sounds kind of cool

Thank you. I'm in the super super early stages of learning how to make sounds and put a track together so any positive comments at all mean a lot and are very encouraging.


There's a lot of work to do still to make that an actual track - mastering, punching up sounds, fixing transitions, adding a bit of variation to the drum and background synth loops. Any advice from anyone is appreciated.
