tried some new tricks with this one

took the drums, duplicated them, put them on 2 tracks. First track -- put a noise gate on there, zero release. Really choppy sounding. Second track, put the random glitch plugin on there. Sidechained first drum track to second, so you get the normal drum hits, and the glitchy-ness, without giving up either. Who needs to program their own hi-hats when probability will do it for you, eh?

I have to admit, I think it's mixed really poorly, though. Oh well.

watch out, it's loud as fuck

0:00 It is pretty loud hehe
0:20 That bassline is interesting
0:27 I admire how you have so many effects on everything and you make these weird sounds, it's something that I never do. I always focus on melody and composition over everything else because I lack the experimentation to truly make different sounds but this is great
0:55 There's that glitchiness. I like the swagger on the rhythm. Tightness.
1:11 OHOHOHHHHHHHH sample is nice
1:18 GOOD sampling on the drums because it's chopped up very tightly and it has little silences between each chop

This is highlight as well. Brilliance. Much love.

Thanks for all these reviews, man! I didn't know you'd go on quite the spree, it'll take me a while to get through all these.

Funny thing about the drums -- no chopping at all. Just that method I talked about in the description. I let the glitch plugin and the sidechain do all the work. With the drum loop, I just dropped it in there, and made sure it looped correctly. That's it.

The bassline makes me laugh, because it sounds better on my shitty laptop speakers than it does on my dope-ass headphones. Must be the compression.
