Baby's first FLIP 🕺🏾

Messing around with some samples and "Key" Bass

bringing a little maximalism to layers... i made most of this idea with code (tidal cycles) and then brought it into ableton to play around with it a bit and add some more synths on top.

(technically 95.8 bpm)

Quick beat using some samples and dusting off the flute

Cutting Corners

Men I Trust inspired beat. Bass is guitar pitched down mixed with synthbass. Lots of sp-303 vinyl sim compressor..

1st edit w/layers. 1st edit in general!

First post on Layers! Good to be here. This one is a rough outline of a happy vibe to start off the week. Could do with a chorus and probably a switch up somewhere!

house jazz

@benners on guitar @jpclassix on the keys. Winning combination (Drake voice).

So I copped the new L. Dre Drum Kit Vol. 5 and decided to open it up and make a beat... He's got some dope a@# loops so I grabbed a loop and started messing around with some chords... next came some solo guitar and lead synth... The guitar tone is from the Archetype Cory Wong plugin
