in a vague nod to the 'Against the Clock' format, I demonstrate basic sound design and beatmaking techniques starting from a blank project with the Octatrack, setting up my typical project template for this sample-pack based workflow, loading all the samples to the project, and then designing my first sounds and patterns. After the first 20 minutes of unedited, from-scratch beatmaking, I do a demonstration jam after I spent another session off-camera developing the ideas further, and the track is starting to take a more defined form. I almost never record intermediate stages when working on these types of projects, so this is a nice little work-in-progress time capsule!
