HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED FOR FULL PANNING APPRECIATION

I bounced several sounds in my timeline. Every sound was created using the original samples

The challenge: Create a track only with the given samples!

The Samples are given as audiotrack in the timeline and additionaly in the machinistes.

The samples are divided into wait...four....five...six? or more machines to get a better sound overall.

Rules I took advantage of:

- No other samples are allowed (except vocals as long as the vocals are not used as rythm element)

I did this. To quote a comment: 'Obligatory Alan Watts quote 10/10' (Sorry @Snadbrugen I know you prefer the mixes without the vocals!)

- No Synthesisers or drummachines (except for the machiniste which holy cow, I love a sampler)

- You can use any type of tool, mastering or effect device. I took advantage of several. Including one particular FX chain that I edited to my own preferences and slapped on my kick drum to really give it that oomph! Shoutout to @cory for that <3

- You don't have to use all of the samples (I'm pretty sure I did)

- I can and did everything I could with the samples. There's so many ideas that didn't make it, but I learned so much from trying different things as I tried to dial in my sounds.

- Track minimum lenght 1 minute, maximum lenght 4 minutes (check)

Tip: Filters are your best friend. It turns a pad into an arp, a bass into a treble, and vocalizes your instruments and creates a new and unique sound when combined with different FX (I especially love the comb filter lately).

Well, I gave it my best shot, and I don't totally hate what I made, which is a plus for me. I hope you all enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it. This was such a fun and exciting challenge for me, and I learned a lot,. This really pushed the boundaries of my comfort level! Thank you @JayFK for the amazing samples, and of course, the amazing challenge!
