The Junto arrived with the knowledge that I wanted to remix the track I recorded last week.
I knew there would be vocal takes that would fit together nicely, and I’ve panned them to either channel here with a reverb shared on the buss.
What I was stuck on was who to imitate in my remix.
I asked my partner and she said “your former self.”
So the bassline takes some inspiration from the song ‘Slow boil’ on my first album, which I published online more than 20 years ago.
I used the UAD Opal synth for bass and a kind of textural sound at the beginning, middle break and end, along with Ableton Live's 909 samples.
These were given various saturation and distortion for warmth and to add legibility on smaller speakers.
