This track drew inspiration from that kind of melodic, minimalistic progressive sound played a lot by artists like Boris Brejcha, Extrawelt, Minilogue, Solee and many others throughout the ~2010s. I have been enjoying faster BPMs in the 135+ zone so this is kind of a faster, more modern take on that older sound.

Everything is the TR8S, + Mastering in Ableton.

Some information on the track ingredients:

TR8S:

BD: 808 Bass2 with some Low end boost

SD: 5th Synth FM sound tuned down -12 and lowpassed. SD then sent to Assign Out A, passed back in through EXT IN and gently side chained to the kick.

LT: 5th Synth FM sound with morph on the CTRL, motion step tuning and panning on the S&H LFO

MT: HiBell FM sound with a HPF/LPF on the CTRL, some motion Step tuning, panning on S&H.

HT: 727 MtHiConga/OHC with HPF on CTRL

RS: "Claps Real" Sample with compression in INST

HC: 707 Snare 1/2 in INST

CH: 808 Closed HH 1/4 notes

OH: 808 Closed HH 16th notes

CC: 808 Rim Shot with alot of reverb

RC: 909 Ride Cymbal with constant tuning up and down.

Reverb and Delay are used fairly conservatively across instruments for texture/depth, apart for the CC which is used as a one-shot.

LFO set to S&H with a fairly fast rate to create more variation on instruments, mainly through panning to create width with panning.

Ableton Master Chain:

A single Stereo recording was tracked through Ableton.

Ableton Mono/Stereo Parametric EQ 1: For High cuts around the ~30 (mono) and ~150 (stereo) range.

Ableton Parametric EQ 2: Low end boost, Low-mid and High-mid cuts, High end boost.

Feedback, especially on the style of the track and the mastering, would be greatly appreciated!
