This is a little beat I did on a Sunday with Trebuchet using Reaper, TX16Wx and some plugins from CM Studio.  Control Surfaces + Automation makes for a fun afternoon.

I'm getting good vibes from reaper - definitely feeling inspired.  Control Surface + Automation is good times.  I guess I'll have have to "Go Pro" so I can upload updated versions of these beats.

i had some extra time today and was just dying to make a track.  i made this one in about 3 hours with cubase 5 using the native plugins and syths.  there's a lot of sidechained stuff.  the sample is from a random podcast and i think it just fit in great.  that's about it.

First attempt at using the Roland MC-707.  I like it a lot!  Should I return it because the volume pots is sticky around 70%?  Maybe it will "wear in" but who knows ...  Sample is from the Ting Tings "That's Not My Name".

That's Not My Name

Still playing around with this MC-707.  I messed around with a looper track on this one to bring the mix back as a track with effects.  Unlike other loopers you may have used, this one does not overdub.  I'm learning to save frequently with this thing.  Sample is from youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNdmMLcDje0

Tripping And Tumbling

I picked up the sample pack for Sample Pack Challenge 90 in /r/edmproduction and threw it into the MC-707.  I was surprised that the samples were all decent and going through them to find something I liked was a lot of fun.  Recording the longer samples as looper tracks lets me use the powerful time stretching features of the MC-707.  Now if only I could figure out how to get the looper clip into the drum machine track now that it's properly timestretched ... hmmmmm

Joy Springs - Sample Pack Competition 90

Cool beat made with the MC-707.  I experimented with bouncing tracks with the scatterer applied to looper tracks and I'm happy with the result.  I let the two tracks play in a wet/dry manner so I could adjust how much of the effected track I wanted to come through.  Sample from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBZze-PA7EA
