I'll admit i kinda phoned this one in on the composition side.  I spent about 25 minutes recording and looping gameboy samples and ended up really only going with two of the samples i recorded cause of quality issues.  I spent another 30 minutes pulling the other parts together and realized how long id spent so far.  I made a live mode recording of the structure in a couple takes which took about 10 minutes, spent another 10 minutes bouncing down the sidechain and mixing the fx and then i did a quick 5 minute master.  total time 1:20.

With regard to my one hour goal, I think this was the first week where i struggled on the creative end of things rather than the technical end.  I did have some technical issues but ended up coming out with some workable bits.  It was really the composition that tied me up.  I did learn a good bit about my limits though so ill count it a success anyway.
