I think I've only got one Carl Craig tune on vinyl. Paperclip People.

Yes, that's a "On Hold" classic🥳.

Nice one. Thank you🙏🏻.

Ha ha, he did!

I didn't know he was known for his imagery, such a shy and retiring chap!

Ha ha😳😂.

Adding in a scale helps massively, as you're then essentially playing chords. When I first started out, I didn't know anything about that so was just playing one note at a time and my tracks sounded "Thin", if that makes sense. Adding a scale/key/chords will improve the "Fullness" of your tracks no end🥳.

Just had a listen to that YODL, I like it, as you say, it's quite similar to what I make😎.

I used to think that but it's not quite that simple. It actually involves music theory, which i know pretty much, zero about. The only reason I'm able to do it, is that in Ableton, you can set a scale and it will highlight all notes that are in the key you've chosen, so playing any of them notes, means it's in that key. It does actually give your track a more harmonious, cohesive feel, if you're able to do this. While it doesn't matter greatly with the kind of stuff I make, I still like to do it now. It's very important if you're making melodic stuff, though.

The old Pope is now a Vatican Shadow, maybe he was talking about that😬😂.

Nope, sorry. Never heard of them🤷🏻‍♂️.

The lead and the atmospheric tone are both in F# Minor, it doesn't matter so much about the percs, I just tune and filter them "By ear".
