I heard about the Take 5, and now I can why people like it. Love the way you improvise over the track and allow yourselves to be guided by the music.

[kevrenshaw]

Same chords as "Wicked Game". Beautiful and dark.. Great process. THank you.

[lff]

Said it before, but i love seeing your whole process, how you build the songs together! I am thankful to you guys taking the time and energy to share your music and passion with us.
I think it would be cool if one day you guys would switch "order", we'd follow Meems building an idea of lyrics and song, and then Tefty build around/with it.

I was thinking this Take 5 is beautiful and enjoying the process of making a track and then Meems turns up...Wow what a voice! Needless to say but liked and subscribed.

[Mithadon]

First time watching your channel. Really liked this. Seeing the whole process, even though I have no experience, I didn't feel lost, and it also didn't feel slow or tedious to watch. Thanks for sharing.

MEEMS your vocals in the beginning were so evocative! I had to listen to the first pass again, almost brought a tear to my eye ;)

[BG-jhpz]

Hello from the UK. Love the creativity and watching this process unfolding - pure vibes! Nice work the both of you..

[oschu]

Absolutely love this tune and the way it evolves! The beautiful voice of Meems painting on top of the smooth synth is amazing and completes it! Also every time fascinating to watch how the track grows „simply“ by playing a chord or some notes and listen to Teftys explanations. Very inspiring 🙌

[BottleMakesMusic]

Excellently put together track. Despite my initial misgivings of the sound of the Take 5, you have managed to craft a great ambient piece, with the layered vocals from Meems being the icing on the cake. Nice work, both of you. Jury is still out on the synth, in my mind at least (it's not "my" sound), but you've brought out the special sauce in it.

Hi. Can you provide info on how you connect the Take 5 to Ableton, with audio being played. I can connect and record midi, but there is no audio. Tia

[CLSMoon]

First time here. Excited to see more. It's so cool to see a track made and process behind it

[shawntrrttll]

Tefty! thanks for sharing that my guy! Your creative process is always super inspirational to me and to a lot of other people especially us destiny fans who are musicians. Hoping to watch more of your music content that you have been creating lately! Thanks again!

[marcusvaldes]

This is the exact sort of music I want to make. Cinematic in feel. I was trying to visualize the video I would make to go with this as well.

[lucidunclarity]

Seeing the process was awesome and watching you guys work was crazy impressive.

[FlatG]

Lovely atmosphere and very Chris Isaak!

[SuperMegaWoofer]

Meems first past gives me big Hybrid vibes! Watching you guys work is super awesome.

[andivax]

Thank you. You are actually recreated Wicked game LOL

[bonnetthierry]

Love your track, great job, this synth is magic, amazing sounds and great voice. I want it 🤩

[blackprophesy]

Just picked up a Take 5 as my first synth. This is really helpful 👍

[Phovhan]

This was ... really good. Amazing vocals by the way. Just got a Take 5 last week, you make it sound better than I can!
