New rEalm Tune (yes, again)

Well, the original tune is all XL-7, you can hear that version up at Emu's Audiophile site: http://www.emu.com/artist/audiophile/index.html Production Notes: The first order of business was adding a new drum loop to the mix, using one I 'found' and ReCycled, then resequenced in Reason. This was rewired into Cubase and underwent extensive programming at that point in order to add LOTS of fills and drum variations. I also layered new kicks and snares over the original drum tracks, to make them harder and more full sounding. The original bassline and about 4 other tracks were scrapped completely too, as I felt something darker was needed to compliment the harder drums. The new Bassline is from Reaktor's Junatik Ensemble, heavily effected and distorted. The wierd noises are all from Reaktor too, I forget the ensemble, but it was originally a sample of someone saying "Hallucinitory" and "MDMA" :) The 303 line was from (you guessed it) ReBirth. No XL-7 added to the new version, only beause it's being dedicated to another concept project, more on that one when it's done :) How long did it take me? Hard to say as it's been one of those projects that got worked on inbetween more pressing stuff. I'd say about two weeks would be realistic, give or take a few days. I was pretty focused while working on this tune, and I tend to work fast in that mode ;) rEalm >>>Brand new one just up http://rEalm.iuma.com "In The Spiral (2002 Mix)" <<< That's definitely your best so far (well IMO anyway!). Maybe it's just the sort of music I like, but it really smacks with attitude, and the pecussion track is sooo detailed and well programmed. How much of that was done on the XL7? How long did it take you?
