Thanks, glad you like it

Thanks, glad you lie it.

Thanks, glad you like it.
When it's for non commercial use, go ahead

Thanks, glad you like it. I have no secrets, when someone likes to know how I achieved something, I share my tricks :)
It's just a pity we we only have 500 characters in the description, I would share the creation story if I could ;)

Thanks, glad you like it

You're welcome, I'm happy to share, using REAPER for a while now and still happy with it.

Thanks, glad you like it. The vocals are used mostly as is, only some chopping and one word pitched a tiny bit. The percussion is a different story :) I mostly use Sitala(1) to create my drums, 16 sample positions with shape, tuning, volume, compression, tone and pan knobs, and all om those knobs can be used in your DAW's automations. The Sitala audio can be routed to 16 stereo channels in the DAW, and that is what I did, so you have full control for each "instrument". In this track I have automations on the kick (Shape, Volume, Tuning) and hand clap (Tone, Tuning). The kick Volume could also been handled via the separate audio track, but as I was playing with several automations on the kick at the same time it was better to have them in one place. On the separate audio tracks I have FX effects on snare, closed hi-hat, hand clap, maraca and rim shot:
Snare: "JS: Ping Pong Pan" a JSFX tool to have the pan gliding back and forth (standard in REAPER, you can even see/mod the code).
Hand Clap, Maraca and Rim Shot have "JS: Echo Cycles (by Geraint Luff)" a tool for setting up a delay triggered by note or LFO with many controls.
REAPER handles JSFX natively but there is a VST for other DAW's.
Check https://www.realinks.net/links/ysfx/ for the VST to run JSFX
https://www.realinks.net/links/saike-jsfx-workshop/ and https://geraintluff.github.io/jsfx/ for some great JSFX tools. And all of it is for free.

Have fun :)

Thanks, glad you like it. This one was super fun to do ;)

Thanks, glad you like it. I was blown away by the vocals, had to try to use them, but the strange synth was there before the vocal :) For the percussion I try to explain in the comment to juankar.

Thank you Manuela, I'm honoured, but I guess you give me more credit as I deserve :) This one started by creating 4 4 bar drum loops, then I tried to find synth presets I wanted to work with, found a sound with a wobble in it, turned it into a sample, reversed and chopped it, and completed it with normal (midi) play, it became the main sound loop. Then when looking for something different, someone else's vocal, found Daniela's voice and the journey started. I like most of my creations I start in C and found out later that the singing part was in C# hence the split in key. For the mixing, I normally work using a audio headset and studio speakers, to check sub bass issues I have a studio headset, but all cheap stuff ;), for further testing I use ear plugs and my latest tool is my new Android phone, due to the lesser audio quality it is perfect to check the mix, like loudness or bass issues really pop out.

But again, thanks for the praise, but at the end it's all feeling not a studied craft. Therefore each time I start without a plan and the outcome is uncertain, a surprise or a road to nowhere, and I have 7 of them this year already.

I take a bow to you as artist, and up to the next one :)
