Sorry to cross the streams, but I posted a link to the music I've been releasing this year and described some of the things I thought might be interesting.
- Automating tempo so it sounds like one element remains the same speed and the other things change
- Delays with shifting speeds
- Using a triangle-wave shaped tempo automation to create swing
Listening to the stuff on bandcamp. Really nice!
And thanks for the tips. Never thought of shuffle through tempo automation.
