My final submission to the Beat Collective challenge from 25 May 2019

Golden Child

Day 1 of Jamuary meant getting away from the computer and just jamming. I spend ages noodling around on my two hardware synths, minilogue xd and volca drum. They're endless fun for sound design but in the end, I had to get something down, so here it is, a dreamy, hacky theme for 2021. I suck at keys, so that lead is wonky as, but the main goal was to jam and have fun.

For Day 2, I opted for some samples as the basis and built a track around them

jamuary02 — Djibouti

For Day 3 of jamuary, I watched '3 Creative Ways to Use a Synth' by In the Mix and found some really cool tips. I applied two of them in this little track:
1. The hats/shaker is actually white noise generated in Vital, gated by an LFO
2. The vintage kick sample is beefed up by a sine wave pitched down 2 octaves to give it some bottom end (also in Vital). Then I just played some bass, a low and high part. Inspired at least somewhat by UMO :)

It's supposed to be summer here in Melbourne, but today was gray, rainy and windy, so I made a slow, warm acid jazz loop to remind me of those sunny days.
