Session Production Elements:
In this session I open the track using the Redrum drum machine to lay the core beat, the Malstrom synth for my bass, the NN-XT sampler with a clarinet sample loaded up in it, and a Dr. Rex acoustic guitar sample that I panned all over the place to create interest and depth. The clarinet sample is bussed to the Scream 4 processor to add some gritty texture. The breakdown at bar seven/eight was created by combining the use of the Dr. Rex filter and a solo automation on the mixer. Finally I layered a second rhythm track with the second Dr. Rex loop player to fill out the beat and add life to the track.
