Pythonicus Beaticus

Thanks Cymatics for putting on this awesome contest! Used a midi chord progression from the Python pack as a basis for the verses then made a drop section that was pretty simple with an emphasis on the bass and drums. Main keys are a Rhodz synth. Layered it with keys from Nexus and Sylenth. Made a bass layer to complement this with Serum and Sylenth. Used a couple drum loops from the Cobra pack (also layered some sections of these with one shot drums and other loops. Used many of the FX provided and processed them. Used some methods learned from the 7 day beat challenge, like using midi for hi hats instead of audio so you can switch them out and automate them easier. Did some pitch bends with just the base. Also tried to saturate the mids and highs of bass so the bass would be more present on phones and laptop speakers. Still need to work on that. Learned so much from those beat videos and loved the free packs and super excited for when Vypr comes out. Thanks Drew and Steven!
