I wanted to compose something acid-like to play with the Korg Volca Nubass some more, and the lighting is definitely acidic this time. There's also some Melodic Techno influence here, which is currently my favorite style of techno.
There's a healthy dose of extra distortion on the acid line thanks to the free Kilohearts Distortion plugin. Check out their free Essential Effects collection! The big droning Reese-style bass is courtesy of the Moog Minitaur, which I keep using because it sounds great and because people search for it. :-) That has Baby Audio's free Magic Switch on it for some width and Reese-y-ness. The Stab lead comes from the Behringer crave, which really excels at stabby sounds in my opinion. That has Magic Switch as well as Sound Toys' Microshift to create a unison effect, since the Crave only has one oscillator. The string-like pad sound comes from the Korg Volca Keys. Would you be surprised to learn that it also has Magic Switch on it? The drums and additional samples are sequenced in my DAW.

I don't even like acid that much, tbh, but this sounds dope and I listened to the very end, nice job!

Thanks! I'm kind of in the same boat. 😄 I like how an acid bassline unambiguously roots a track in a certain style and vibe, but in the future I think I'll use it as more of a background element as more of a nod than the primary featured element.

I'm recently getting into more styles of electronic music, and I love the idea of diving more into techno. What albums and artists do you recommend? Up until now, most of my electronic music influence has been synthwave and dungeon synth.

My background in electronic music is mostly DJing synth pop and industrial, and I'm just starting to explore other genres, too. I've been approaching it by watching other people's synth jams and DJ sets here on KZfaq and seeing what jumps out at me. The "Bad Gear" show has been a big gateway for me. I'll also search for something like "melodic techno DJ set" and play it in the background until I hear something that hooks me.

@@scottnellechecked out bad gear and it’s a wealth of knowledge! Thank you for the suggestion. Really enjoy your music as well! I’m pretty into the acid baseline sound apparently lol

Excellent jam!! excuse me how to sequencing? and for the drums sound what use ?Thanks

@scottnelle 3 ай бұрын

Thanks! The Volca Keys, Crave, and Minitaur are sequenced in my DAW with the notes playing on three midi channels, and the drums are sequenced in the DAW as well. The acid line is sequenced using the Volca Nubass sequencer and I'm starting and stopping it in time with a metronome/count-in that isn't included in the final recording.
