Started bouncing takes yesterday — felt great to get moving.\nThen realised a few LFO settings were off, so going back in to fix those today.

Plan is to get through the mixdowns this week and dive into mastering next week. Let’s go.

Big moment — wrapped production on my first album. Everything was done on the DJS1000, same setup I perform on.

\n

Now bouncing into Ableton for mixdowns before mastering. Feels wild hearing it all come together. Can’t wait to share.
