Recording Attempts:
136 🙀

Things Learned:
Tried plugging in guitar for the first time! My goal was to try and integrate the guitar and synth sounds by using Ears' envelope follower to change the filter on Blades and then Ears' gate to trigger grains with Beads. Bass guitar next?

Holy cow, I also finally tried saving and loading with Pamela's New Workout—game changer! Super easy to change tempo mid song. And I was using Veils/Plancks to mute the Disting mk4's samples triggered directly from Pam's when I could have used save/load to turn them on and off!

Out of Box:
Auto Filter to fade in highs and subs for intro and outro
Valhalla Delay, Vintage, and Shimmer for ambience
Operator white noise auto filtered and auto panned for sweeps
