Week 19 - Tomatron.Jones - The Midnight #4

In anticipation of seeing The Midnight on the Saturday before this beat was due, I made yet another track with samples from The Midnight sample pack. It started with some sample chopping of a chord sample, then I made a drum kit with their drum samples and made a synthbass with Ableton and a synthbass sample. The main chopped sample kinda reminds me of Pogo. The lead synth is a very Nintendo-y sounding with Cradle Audio State Machine BitFlip synth VST. I was a bit too ambitious with some transposing / key changes on the sampler. I have a bunch of different basslines / motifs and some weird melodic key changes that are kind of interesting but ultimately I don't feel very strongly about it. I took what could have been a straightforward lofi synthwave beat and made it a bit too weird, ha. I don't really love the vibe of this track so I wonder why I kept on it. Perhaps the sunk cost fallacy? I need to have fun making stuff rather than just finish something for the sake of it. * Synth chords and drum hits from The Midnight sample pack * Synth bass from Ableton bass + The Midnight sample pack * Lead synth from Cradle Audio State Machine BitFlip * Ample use of Transit, Valhalla, RC-20 plugins * Gullfoss and Ozone Elements for mastering Total time: 6 hours 2026 Copyright All rights reserved
