Beat Challenge #49

DAW etc = Ableton + VSTs for days (fabfilter i find indispensable... try them if you haven't already, yeah?)

Producer: parallaxed

So this turned out to be an oddity, but after it began tumbling in some direction I did best I could to carve out a melodic journey that unsettles the yuletide spirit at first, then resolves into those familiar festive vibes...

As the beat develops, one of the 15 bar melodies is used wholesale and chopped up to introduce some new melodic context... then we slap you with some familiar festive hooks blending in to transform the flow.

Sleigh bells samples used, obviously. Bass drum also. Trumpets from Hark the Herald angels as provided in the pack. Fudged the tubular bells in ableton sampler for the intro lead line. 

Used tubular bells from the ableton stock for the switch up melody... woodwinds also in there. Followed top tips from Mr. Bill to optimize the sub, shout out to Slynk also for his handy HaaS width tool, imo it gives presence and character to mid sub harmonics...
