Key Remixes

1 of 2 remixes I did for cEvin Key's Patreon Remix #15. Hard to deny that my influence on this one wasn't Download's album `III`. The process used on this one was pretty wonderful. I discovered techniques that I wouldn't have found otherwise and achieved something that is entirely unlike the original - but yet similar. 

Stems used in this song were from Song 2 which used BPM 123. One rules was that it had to be only 1:10 in length. 

Software used:
- Ableton 12 (and lots of native plugins)
- Audio Damage plugins: 
  |--- Other Desert Cities
  |--- Kombinat
  |--- Replicant
- Arturia plugins:
  |--- Efx Refract 
- Glitchmachine plugins:
  |--- Fracture
  |--- Fracture XL
  |--- Quadrant
- Sonic Charge
  |--- Permut8

Pre-master mixing was minimal but did have IMPusher on master out.

Key Remix #15 - Song 2 123bpm - [hale patreon mix]

2 of 2 remixes I did for cEvin Key's Patreon Remix #15. Similar to the first remix, this one has very strong influence from Download's album `Eyes of Stanley Pain`. For this remix, I rekindled various techniques I used to use heavily but haven't in years. Re-exploring those techniques allowed me to experiment and discover new ways to get some of the sounds that I've always wanted to get. There are two main lines in the remix that are directly from the stems, the first is the drum track, which I sliced and diced up a bit and then embellished with my own drum treatment. The second stem was the main ESQ pad track. That stem was used 3 different times. Once for the hats, once for the crazy glitch warp, and once for the main pad melody. 

Stems used in this song were from Song 4 which has a BPM 114. One rules was that it had to be only 1:10 in length.

Software used:
- Ableton 12 (and lots of native plugins)
- Audio Damage plugins:
|--- Other Desert Cities
|--- Kombinat
|--- Replicant
- Arturia plugins:
|--- Efx Refract
- Glitchmachine plugins:
|--- Fracture
|--- Fracture XL
|--- Quadrant
- Sonic Charge
|--- Permut8

Mastering was minimal, with minor eq and width adjustments.
