Natural Consequence (WB01)

Hey everybody! It's good to be back for another year of Weeklybeats!
Last year I took a strict approach of doing each song in one hour or as close as possible to it and I learned a whole lot in the process. This year I'm going to take a similar approach but I'm going to ease up on the hour requirement. If I can finish the song within a few hours of work I'll be happy with that. This all with the goal of streamlining and optimizing my workflow while exploring some new thematic material. I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback on the process/songs and also to hearing what sort of music others are making this year! (Although I admit it is hard to keep up with listening, commenting and making songs, I do listen to a lot of them.)
This weeks song took me about 4 hours in total. About 1 hour writing and arranging the loops and instruments, 30 minutes blocking the sequence, about 1 and a half hours mixing and fixing the fx and an hour doing the master track with filters and compressors etc. I found that I felt like I had almost too much time compared to last years workflow but it feels like it will be more comfortable particularly once I start incorporating recorded sounds.
