The Three Ts is all about me playing around and learning how to play my new Novation LaunchKey workstation...
Tinkling the ivories
Tapping the beats
Tweaking the knobs 
As well as using the cheat mode chords and scales to help create the most melodic track I've ever made. 

I thought the electric piano was the perfect preset to use for this and I basically just played it live with very little practice, learning what worked as I went along and finding out the nice little hooks bar-by-bar. 
Of course, there was plenty of quantising and velocity variations to fiddle with afterwards, and I moved a few bits around afterwards to help with the flow into the breaks.
It was the same for the 808 baseline, playing it live and getting a feel for the ups and downs as I followed along with the other tracks, then tidying it up a bit afterwards.
I had so much fun tweaking the knobs on the buzzy synth, really pushing the cutoff, resonance and LFO to create some mental sounding variations, but in the end they were too much for the rest of the vibe so I had to tone them down a lot.
The drums were also played pretty much live on the Launchkey's pads, but then split into defined sections and copy/pasted along the timeline, before chopping them up again to add in the breaks and fills. Tried very hard to keep them in check this time and not using the V-Drum kit certainly helped stopped them getting too crazy!

For the 'Short Lesson', I took out one 'verse' and removed most of the intro and outro. Still like it, but I think I prefer the full version.
