This is probably the most challenging Force video / performance I've made. Fully intended to do it all in the Force, but there is so much going on musically, I just couldn't get it sounding right mixing it in the box. This leads me to error number one - I mapped the drum mutes to submixes, thinking I'd just bounce out a stereo mixdown. But when I realised that wasn't going to work, I bounced out individual tracks, which means of course that the drum mutes didn't show up. So I had to add them in in post and try and get them to line up with what I was doing in the video. I really liked what was going on in this track, but I could'n't get it sounding right without being able to automate FX parameters. I know you can do that in Force, but it's such a ball ache, I did that stuff in Ableton. Which is why I say I hit a Force limit - I made some music that I really liked structurally, but I couldn't mix it in the box. Probably a failure on my part, because it still doesn't sound great event after taking it outside. But, after 2 years and nearly 200 videos, the Force held me back, not the other way round.
