Congrats Holly, Mat and the gang!

I think I saw a dynamic/responsive music template, where the user can tweak various parameters, the tempo for example, and the project shifts responsively, house kicks -> garage drums etc. You could also decide what key it was in etc, so you could shape the track. Ring any bells?

Ok, it's Day 4 of my micro-podcasting challenge running all this week, analysing the production of a track I'm currently enjoying. Today we finish looking at arrangement across the stereo field. Tomorrow, we look at the frequency spectrum! 🤓 beams.fm/SoundMotives/v4X91e…

Day 5 of my micro-podcasting week, and today is 'Frequency Friday'. I've alway enjoyed analysing how tracks are made, using a filter to reveal what elements fill what frequencies. I find something oddly meditative about it, but maybe that's just me. beams.fm/SoundMotives/Jq2yVj…
Excited about this one! 🙌🙌
Season 1 minted. Announcement soon 🦾🌹🦾🌹

Beautiful @LoJamMusic remix. I don’t know the original but will dig it out. Gorgeous stereo detail, a monster kick(!), playful drum programming and vocal processing… subs tucked in there… very nice. it’s defo going in the ‘reference tracks’ folder! 🙌 youtu.be/s_jg3jyYH7M
