Electric Touch (synths vs pan flute)
There was some discussion that AUM is not adequate as a DAW...well, it certainly is for some styles. In this piece there's a blend of pan flute with electronic instruments. To this I also added some electric guitar (with Nembrini's Cali Dual) as the last part of the song really needed some "chug".
In the key of E minor, I first recorded some arpeggio line using the VolcaFM (still amazed by how musical the lines of its arp sequencer sound) then created a slow pad on the MicroFreak. Once that was set I switched to a more straight lead sound and some Novation Circuit rhythms (using custom samples, some sound fonts I amassed in time) - a very simple one was just enough for the groove.
The next layer was the pan flute which I still surprise myself with, as I play it intuitively rather than knowingly. Finally, I recorded a Volca Keys melody and solo - this last step was filmed with my phone, the lighting was really bad so I added a weird effect on top.
Regarding the routing, I have a generic usb powered hub connected to an iPad 7 via the CCK. To this hub are connected a Zoom F8 (which I have since my film recording era and to my surprise works as USB multichannel interface in iOS) and the Circuit plus the Freak, alongside with a generic usb-midi cable that goes in this case to the VolcaFM. I used Xequence 2 for some of the patterns and recording and editing was done part by part in 4Pockets Multitrack Recorder. The lush reverb is (unsurprisingly) provided by FAC Alteza.
It's not the most efficient workflow, but it's a nice reminiscence to the times when you had to record on tape and couldn't edit to your heart's content. I find that in this way I can focus more on the music that's being created in the moment.
