Stone Update #002 The Kick Drum Betrayed Me
“Stone Updates” is my ongoing, unfiltered journal as I learn electronic music from absolute scratch. Expect messy experiments, rookie mistakes, tiny wins, and lots of self-deprecating humor as I figure out Ableton one chaotic button press at a time.

Somehow, after replacing my kick and tightening up the hats, I was convinced the track I've been working on lately would instantly sound better. Shockingly, it did not. Pretty sure the new, lower-frequency kick is now wrestling my bass line in the mud. Not ideal.
I tossed a few more FX onto the channel, then immediately remembered that “less is more,” especially when you barely know what any of the buttons do. Still grinding away on the UK-influenced track, trying to make everything play nicely together.
More chaos soon.
