For this week's track, I pulled things back a bit and focused on a few elements and automation via LFOs.

I built out the pad elements with sounds that I found had rhythmic feeling built into them. I then used a Pulsar LFO to create volume movement that would bring the elements in and out.

I then used the chords to create a baseline, adjusting it to create a simpler, more sparse line that followed the pads.

I then added the final two elements, which was an arpeggiated pluck and a percussion synth. Both had setting modulated through the LFO (including a built in envelope generator.

After this, I mixed the track and added effects. I ended up bussing all of the pads to a channel to glue them together.

I then went and built a mastering chain (basing off of a Reason preset) and finalized the track.
