Description : How I felt a few nights after joining Gold's gym with my recently-back-from-Iraq-and-now-bigger-than-I-am marine brother.

Most of this song just sort of happened without much planning. The main backing is based off of six loops I made and uploaded here. I've since changed them around a lot and added some animation to their filters, but the basic sound is still pretty similar. They briefly take the lead, but they've been supplanted by FL Keys, Sytrus strings, and two more Toxic voices. I've started using the FL Love Filter a lot more, and I'm happy with the sounds it helps me achieve. It's a lot less hassle to set up a LFO highpass with it than trying to manually add one and animate it.

The drums are sliced/pitch changed/rearranged loops. I've added a few more samples to round out the sound, but I'm still not satisfied with my drops. Toms always sound so good when other people use them, but I haven't really gotten the hang of them.

Hey man, didn't expect this track to develop the way it did, I really like the bridge(?) that comes in around 2:00 - 2:05 or so,I wasn't expecting that, cool vocoder/synth pad blend...i also noticed a little bit of a reggae feel with the keyboard grooves too...nice!
thanks for sharing your track!

Reggae, eh? I can definitely hear it now, but I most definitely did not write it with that in mind.

I just sort of... write tracks. Development usually happens when I find an interesting voice and try to make it fit. The bridges are usually spawned from my playing around on the piano and then deciding to include it on a whim. I'm glad this one worked out.

Thanks for the review.
