This wasn't going to be

a song I would share, as I was just playing around with some new plug-ins from 'GlitchMachines', but the drums wound up sounding really awesome, so I figured we could go through it. Honestly, I don't love whats going on harmonically, and theres a bit too much low-end in all the synths, so you get these weird, low, overtone rumblings that interfere with the chords, but I think it's salvageable, so we'll see what happens over the next few days as I go back and chop things out/add new things.

Listen to Space Race 2.1 here.

Tracks 2 through 4

are grouped together, with Track 2 providing the weird, digital percussion sound every 2 bars (also from a Glitchmachines sample set), and Tracks 3 and 4 the basic progression, which is pictured below. These 2 tracks are where I was experimenting with the effects; the delay plug-in is "Hysterisis", and the weird modulation plug-in is 'Fracture'. Tracks 6 and 7 are in the next group, which provide the two synths that are in a higher register, which also play 2 notes for every one of the bass notes, which sometimes results in a second chord. This works at some points, and doesn't feel resolved enough at others, so I'm going back through these two for sure.
