Wanna know how to make music in Caustic 3 on the go? I make a chill beat in a cafe on my Android phone.

Craving coffee and creative limitation, I set up at my local Biggby and challenged myself to make a track on my phone by flipping a sample in Caustic 3. Watch as I walk you through each step of the process in this production vlog...

► Final track: youtu.be/Vf2HbVNb_h8

Shout out to Brinch for the gorgeous guitar sample! Check out his music:
► Spotify open.spotify.com/artist/5AKcHWL5Dl1kygodTcxOl3?si=i-6I5IFgS4esjQrp6PiTTw
► Bandcamp brinch.bandcamp.com
► SoundCloud soundcloud.com/brinch-431271389
► YouTube youtube.com/channel/UCiqYT56Ys6zRwSrt85XAKEg

Brinch used the incredible (and free!) LABS plugin from Spitfire Audio - spitfireaudio.com/labs

I'm using the Caustic 3 mobile app by Single Cell Software (singlecellsoftware.com/)
► Android - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.singlecellsoftware.caustic
► iOS - itunes.apple.com/us/app/caustic/id775735447

[ Background music includes "Heavily Sedated" and "Searching for Solitude" from my Dreams EP: djphazer.com/album/dreams-ep ]

EDIT: I was so focused on making this video that I overlooked the fact that each of the sample chops is actually *8 measures long* and I'm only playing the first 4 measures of each... which explains the awkward chord at the end of the final track! I will put more work into the track later, expanding the arrangement to use the original 16-bar chord progression.
