Story

This is actually one of the first beats I made on my OP-XY when I first received it. I liked it but never made it into a song. I decided to pick it back up this week and mess around with it some, and ended up really liking the result. Most of the sound is the OP-XY itself, but the bass is running through a reverb on the ZOIA that gives it a bit of extra grunt and gristle.

Story

This song started as an attempt to see what I could do with the bass from the OP-XY and the Overdrive preset on the ZOIA. I really liked the sound, and came up with the bass loop pretty quickly.

I then spent the week messing around with melody, and laid down a few of my favorite little riffs. The arrangement came together pretty quickly after that, and then I spent the last few days tweaking the mix and trying to get the best sound out of this song as possible.

Overall I'm super happy with the result, and feel like this might be the clearest 'track' that I've put together so far.
