#nanostudio

Of all of my Neon Streets pieces so far, I think this one has the biggest divide between the cybergrunge style and the analog style.

I just got the #SynthStation25 for 10$ to use with my old iphone 4 for the main purpose of recycling and getting a new portable synth! I could hack my iphone 4 with an old #jailbreak and install an app to activate the audio speaker while connecting a jack in the physical audio input. So I've got a really nice and really portable new synth that will evolve according to the app I will be using. #hack #speaker #synth #test #onbatteries #drums #nanostudio #beat #beatmakers #controller #akai (à Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland)

Resolution - Cybergrunge tentative final version

I took a little time out of working on Neon Streets to try and recut Smoggy Home to make it a bit smoother and play with it a bit.

Just did something I haven’t done in a while. I’ve been so focused on making cyberloops, and trying to work on new skills, I decided to go back and play with some old ones. So I just popped open Nanostudio and started recording, part by part. Noodling around. Writing one line. Making a nice counterpoint to go against it, then when that first line ended, turning the second instrument into a new line, et cetera. I didn’t really have a name for it, but since I was doing that smooth synth monophonic style for two of the four instruments, I just called the file ‘smooth’. Then I realized the irony of uploading a file called ‘smooth rough draft.mp3′.

In the interest of forcing myself to learn something new, I decided to play with using buses in Acid while I mixed the final version. Nothing fancy... just something I really should have started doing a long time ago, but I never did.
