There&#8217;s so many now and all are much better quality, I&#8217;ve only been messing with the 808 the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Majority of the work on this was getting some of the operator settings just right. The first sound that comes in (which I was calling &#8220;plane Landing&#8221;) Is basically a 1\/12 sync lfo with really long attack envelope on all of the oscillators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"186\" src=\"https:\/\/willkolb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-16.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-88\" srcset=\"https:\/\/willkolb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-16.png 735w, https:\/\/willkolb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-16-300x76.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason the lfo appears to slow down is because I also tied it into the pitch envelope along with the oscillators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"336\" height=\"188\" src=\"https:\/\/willkolb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-17.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-89\" srcset=\"https:\/\/willkolb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-17.png 336w, https:\/\/willkolb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-17-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If I wasn&#8217;t lazy at the bottom I would have automation to set the pitch envelope slider to zero, but in this case I just copy+pasted the operator and removed the pitch envelope and any attack to make it seem like the &#8220;Plane Landing&#8221; turned into a stable note (which I called &#8220;plane driving&#8221;):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"187\" src=\"https:\/\/willkolb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-18.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-90\" srcset=\"https:\/\/willkolb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-18.png 730w, https:\/\/willkolb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-18-300x77.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally most dnb has some kind of silly audio clip in there. In this case I still had the track from pacific rim lying around and I didn&#8217;t see a reason to have more of that in everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/willkolb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Pacific_Rim_Idris_Elba_speech_HD.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The main thing I don&#8217;t like about this is that I didn&#8217;t do much eq on any of the tracks. I had some compressors just to save speakers from the snares, wobble and the static-y stabs at the end but really everything seemed to be more balanced than I&#8217;m used to. The drums are actually two separate kits, I didn&#8217;t have to add any extra reverb other than what was in the base Abelton template. All around pretty great.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But it seemed interesting so I gave a couple hours trying to throw together a faster (180) bpm song.I went crazy with the scenes in this case which is probably unnecessary, I had 13 in all but most are repeats.
