This one was fun to make, mix, and share with my close friends. I rarely mess with vocals and don’t really know anyone that’s a great singer, so I started taking advantage of my splice membership and began digging until I came across this gem. Once I heard that sample, boom it was 10 hours later and I was sitting with a track that was 90% complete. For the most part I listen to harder music, but I can’t help my love making chill, pretty beats. This one moves slower than what I normally prefer, so I had to switch it up at the end. I love pop punk so I had my cousin send me some guitar chugs (you’re the best, Zach) and I actually ended up making the guitar solo at the end myself. I have no clue how to play a guitar, so I went into my synth, made a guitar sound, and added some processing on it (Ableton plug-ins are top tier) and boom I had the solo ripped out. I still feel like a noob when it comes to sound design, so that was a really cool moment for me. I'm sure it's really not that impressive in the producer world, but that was one of those problem solving moments where I was like "I can make a sound do whatever I want. This is SWEET" It definitely veers away from the initial sound and emotion the track conveys, but music has no rules and I love the idea of rocking out after going through a lovey dovey moment. Middle school me appreciates the hell out of this outro. I hope you do too.
