Very fun and breezy, I feel like it could be a track from Wave Race 64 or something to that effect.

In a lot of ways your track reminded me of some game music from the 90's and 2000's.

you checked off all the boxes with this -- solid composition, great sound design/choices, terrific production.  Fun!

This song took several tries to get to where i want it. Once i fleshed out the idea, i started layering sounds to get a fuller feel for the track and to decorate the space. im particularly proud of the kick which is three active instances of the synth, i crafted the envelopes down to the milisecond and used an oscilliscope to precisely dial in the timing. I had several initial approaches for the kick none of which worked well. I worked a lot on the percussion to get metallic sounds using the FM function of the synth and also using a lot of EQ to peak frequencies. I woulnd say i went full 11/10 but i went 9/10 on EQ. I also used some distortion, to about 8/10. I accentuated sounds but did not completely distroy them. A lot of texture to certain percussion was obtained by layering different sounds at different pitches and also different FM ratios etc. Playing with envelopes goes a long way. 

The bass sounds are all very simple actually and most are a few layers deep with different waveforms FMing at different ratios and pitches. I was gonna go ballistic on the basses and use EQ, clipping and even convolution to obliterated the sound. But to avoid being DQ i opted for the PG 13 version. 

the amount of automation in this project with greater than 100 instances of the synth has made it a chore to navigate. Some midi clips have 6 or 7 layers of automation and other have only one but heavily adjusted everywhere. the automation i used the most is volume. Cutting sounds so they dont interfere with other sounds and to cut reverb tails, and also to shape sounds since i did not like the way the envelopes in the synth itself worked at times. Working with audio clips would have made this much more easy. I do not think i will go this hard for OSC ever again. But then again...it was kinda fun...

The song is clipped and compressed severely. I could have pushed it harder but i did NOT!! in order to preserve that last gasp of dynamic range that was slowly waiting to die. This is not a ballad, or classical, its dubstep - or something like it. 

The song got its name from the distinct digital alarm sound that we're all so familiar with. I used it in the buildup, in the drop, everywhere...

Nothing on the master except Gclip and ReaLimiter. 

Thats all i got
