Mixed stems from a reggae/trip hop/dub band called the travellaz (https://www.facebook.com/travelaz).

There were a total of 25 stems to mix, not all of which were used in this mix.

I couldn't do much about the badly recorded snare - the ringing sound was present at all frequencies, and I couldn't do much with a transient shaper or compression either.

TravelaZ-Paraiso-v0.3

An experimental dark tune to zone out to.  I used quite a few of ADM's packs in this one, just because they were the perfect tool for the job: [#80: VHS Rack], [#43: Shaky Muted Dirty Trumpet], and [WindChime Ambience EP].  On top of that I used SaxLab 2, sausage fattener, and the rest is Ableton native awesomeness.

Free Me (v0.0)

POINT BLANK VOCALWERK COMPETITION 2013

An even darker version; I kind of wanted to end this one with "the bitch" being killed, but never got around to it.

Free Me

Twinkle

My first EDM attempt, vox chops taken from the turtles for the male, and some random girl's voice for the female.  Plugins: mostly Ableton's Analog, and Operator, but also some CamelPhat and good amounts of SausageFattener.  I love that fat little sausage.

EDM113b

Okay, what started out as "let's finish this song" turned out to be a "let's rewrite almost every track in this song, change the key from Am to F#m, and change the chord progression from 4 bars to 8".  Wasn't purely out of the desire for insanity, the aim was to render the track receptive to the original recording of the turtles "happy together" song which I used to make the vox chops on the previous track.

Anyway, here it is...

HappyTurtle-v0.1

1. dubstep and bass instruments changed
2. redid the bass riff, added some slap funk goodness
3. phatten up the snare and kick
4. original guitar riff EQ'd to stand out
4. remove sub when male sings
5. smooth out sub envelope release
6. added more movement to dubstep
7. added more vox
