This is the third track in the live set I'm working on.

I feel like it needs one more lead/melody part to really hang together, but after trying a bunch of things, I decided to just go with what I had. I'm always fighting my perfectionism and tendency to get analysis paralysis and this set has been taking way longer than I anticipated, so I'm trying to just get some momentum on it and get pieces out there.

I really like the bassline, both the sound design and the bassline itself. Also, I think I did a good job with fills and grace notes in it that I slip in at different parts during the performance. I also MIDI mapped two knobs for tweaking the sound live that give it a lot of flexibility. One of them brings in another oscillator an octave up and opens the filter, so it kind of turns it into a lead. The other cranks up the filter envelope and adds some delay which makes it more prominent and energetic.

One of the parts in this one is a Granulator running on a sample of ocean waves that I field recorded. I run that through a bunch of delay and reverb and then into some very heavy sidechain compression. I use it for a riser and transition and I think it works pretty well.

I hope you enjoy this one. I'm looking forward to making more progress on this set and then eventually recording a full live set to share with you all.
