|____________________________________________________________________|
This year I finally made it to TRSAC for the first time, and of course I
just *had* to participate in the live acid techno compo - a unique compo
where all entries are required to use some sort of 303-like instrument
and are mixed live by a DJ (lug00ber did the duty this year).
In 2014, 8bitbubsy was experimenting with some acid samples and he showed
the result to me. The samples were low-quality MOD samples, which
immediately piqued my interest to figure out how to recreate them with a
VSTi - ABL2 at first, and later I tried to recreate the same acid line in
Synth1.
The track mostly stayed dormant for the following years, until I tried
revive it for Deadline 2022 - where I also didn't release it. Now in 2023
I finally had a very good reason to finish it!
A nice surprise happened at the prizegiving - my track ranked 4th in the
compo, but ferris decided to give his 3rd prize to me, as his track
wasn't really an acid track, and my track was his favourite in the compo.
Thanks again, this means so much to me! <3
Compared to the version released at the party, I dialled down the master
compressor. The party version was pumping a bit during the M1 piano part,
which was not intentional.
