Rockin'

Finished rendering less than a minute before the deadline. I managed to bring back my beloved Plogue Chipsounds plugin back from the deepest corner of the closet.

The lead was introduced less than 10 minutes before the deadline, so not much time for variation. Also, it needs a proper fade out.

All of this was made on a 4GB RAM Macbook Air from 2014... This machine is a little slow for some tasks, though Ableton Suite 10 runs quite smoothly.

Samples from the horribly pretentious "Kilroy was here" introduction movie from the equally pretentious band Styx, 1983.

Again, before seeing the artist, I knew it was your production. I really like this one. The Styx reference is dope, they’re local rock legends from where I’m from.

groovy! nice syncopated lead. nice sound of the beat and vocals fits it

sweet groove between the drums and leads.  excellent head nodder of a track.
