nicely niced, sixohsix. i'm not so into the 4-on-the-floor style of techno, but i like what you've done and like others have said, the production is solid. plus, it makes me appreciate having friends. heh.
i was wondering if you were working with patterns, or from loops on single pads - if you know what i'm saying. i donno if the 606 works just like the 404, but i'm curious about how you constructed the samples / loops versus patterns.

I've always worked with loops, however, I generally make my own loops from patterns rather than sampling them. So I sample myself, really.
To create subtle variation, I simply make three or four versions of each loop, so that I can vary things while still keeping it simple. This makes converting a track into a 'live-ready' piece is an easier task too.
Long vocal samples, like the one in this track, are simply assigned to a pad and played over the top of the song. The vocal is rarely stretched - I make the song fit the vocal rather than the other way around.
It's a pretty basic, but tried and true, process.
