Been working on this track for quite a while. I'm really happy with how the mixing and edits turned out, but my structure needs a lot of work. While the edits are good, they are too sudden and don't flow well like a good dance track should. The song also needs more direction, when I can manage that I'll be able to structure everything properly and make it longer.

Some Deadmau5 rip off I made.
sounds more like a Ke$ha track though...

Finished my cover of Da Funk.
Took me all day to get it done, it's not perfect but I learned a lot in the process. Did a lot of reading about sound design using synthesizers for a few weeks prior to working on this track and it's helping quite a bit, sure I'm trying to mimic a sound, but just being able to copy it by intuition and ear is exactly what I want to be doing. Besides learning patch nonsense, this track had me experimenting with a 909 drum machine and a 303 synth. I had a lot of trouble getting the 909 to sound right, but I had some help from a friend and that gave me a lot of insight and ideas for when I use it next. The emulator for the 303 I was using was ABL2 which is extremely easy to work with, just a basic sequencer and a few knobs, I had a lot of trouble getting the arrangement right on the sequencer but I think it's pretty close.
I may make some improvements to the track later, such as changing the lead synth patch, but right now I'll probably focus on learning how to use compression properly and some mixing techniques.

Heard one of the upcoming Colin Stetson tracks today
It's crazy how much I like his songs. It's all just one sax and a bunch of microphones, but every track feels so raw and human. I really hope more music comes out like this, Stetson is really on to something.
