I really don't know what else to say here, it's evolving, story-like.

This track pairs nicely with an altered mind [meditative, drug-induced, whatever]

I used Rob Papen soft-synths exclusively for this track, no particular reason other than that I like how they sound and function. I also used Addictive Drums 2 for their 808/electronic drum samples. I routed each drum to it's own track and processed according to my specifications.

This was the first track that made me feel like I had an in-depth knowledge of my mixing and mastering ability. Much of this was because of my rather scrutinous and thorough self-education in said arts/sciences, and also the quality of software that I use.

Many thanks to the wonderful people at Plugin Alliance who helped me see what it's like to mix with professional-quality plugins.

Some of my new favorite plugins are as follows:
-Vertigo Sound VSM-3, used on master and synth buss for thickening characteristics. Adds precise control over second and third-order harmonics, I love it too much =)
-Vertigo Sound VSC-2, a sweet quad-VCA compressor that's easy to use and has a transparent but profound effect on the audio.
-Elysia Mpressor, little beast of a machine sits on the drum bus and helps it crush.
-Maag EQ4, very musical and elegant EQ that I like to use on just about anything.
-SPL Transient Designer. to enhance attack and/or sustain on drum tracks particularly.
-SPL TwinTube, Mmmm, rich, syrupy tube saturation and harmonics.

Not sure what else to say about this, except LISTEN TO IT! =P

The only synths used were for bass, and there's three of them in there although it sounds like one big wall of sound. I used Omnisphere for one, and Ableton Live's instruments for the other two. Soft-synths are the way for me.

The recorded guitar is a pathetic but usable Squire Strat made in China in the early 2000's. Guitar Rig 5 made impressive work of a less-than-impressive instrument, thanks Native Instruments.

All of this was done in the box (aside from guitar of course, that's impossible! I can't fit in that box!) with Ableton Live 9, on a computer that's much too old with no audio interface. Did I mention that my "monitors" are powered by a Lepai 2020A+? Too much good stuff! ;-)

So yeah, it's simple, it's kinda groovy in a meditative sorta way, and I like it. Hope you do too ]]>
