[Sunset Chillout]

The breaks call to me

intense and introspective
Its feels like dusk in a cityscape
lots of imagery comes to mind
Love it

ADR3-N responds:

The breaks are actually a hyper chopped and glitched version of some random loop I found laying around on my PC. There's this function in Mixcraft, I don't know if other DAWs have it, that will allow you to time stretch to the tempo you want, then subdivide into parts. I did that in something like 16ths, snipping out what individual hits I wanted, selected all and un-stretched to get the OG quality back, made some glitches and different pitches, then had a OCD copypaste palooza to make some grooves.

The real fun was chopping up my bass and guitars to make those dramatic pauses with the breaks!

Now about that un-stretch -- when chopping a break that way, it's paramount to revert back to original time on the samples, or they will sound super wonky and weak. The reason I stretch them first is so I can easily subdivide without having to manually find each transient and perc hit! Select all and snap back to 100% speed and they're good to go, with the hits spaced out as they would be at the same tempo as my project :)

A warning to the wise

Distributers sites are lame for many reasons
and the YouTube algorithm has been messed up since 2016 :(
This place is the best for response and is the bast place for growth as in artist

This is packed with awesome information here for artist and for life
I wish I had ADR3-N's info recall ability

Amazing listen as always

ADR3-N responds:

You wish you had MY recall?!?! That's wild! I felt like I was forgetting what I was talking about mid sentence, every other sentence! I'm glad you found it interesting!

[Kib and Bigg: Outside of the Box OST - Kibby Think]

you have a way with how you transition in melody .. construction it way cool

that clap build is good .. i wonder what your image in mind helped you build this

Way cool

octopus58 responds:

Thank you so much!! The transition is what I focused on most in this song so I'm happy you noticed it here :D

I was at first thinking of the scene I was already shown for the animation, but then started thinking about how I want to be on the beach at night so I guess it kinda went that way haha
