Hi Everyone - was gonna do another western triphop deal and ended up with something totally different - the drums were too funky to not do something downtempo - Low spark of high heel boys, Use me by Bill Withers, something in that neighborhood. 

Doing a lot of testing on Windows ARM - holy crap it's strong but there are still some growing pains with VST's emulated.  Reaper has an excellent ARM native build but Nectar and anything I use to tune vocals and do dynamic EQ is not quite there yet - it's all mix/master and post production tools that are funky, everything else for tracking, instruments, and the live f/x I use for guitar plugs and stuff are 100% solid.  No tuning the vox this week (sorry xD)

The process for this was FUN - built the beat by dissecting some midipacks in AD2 and swapping some kits around until the vibe was right and imported about 32 bars with a couple variations into the M8.  Slip notes with the keys were done in M8 with the MTT function.  Dub bass is the PM Rickenbacker Scarbee instrument I previously built a chain for in the M8 - fattest sampled bass guitar ever.  Guitar was tracked into M8 originally, but I needed about 10 takes to get it to land with the drifty snare - I gave up and tracked that into DAW via Scuffham and did a little copy/paste.  vox layered in DAW via an MD421 through RME babyface.
