Yo! Immy back again.

Overpowered

Key: E minor>A major

BPM: 148>165

Took 28 hours.

I wrote this song for the NG Boss Showdown contest. Hope I win! At first It was completely different; I was going to do DnB instead of my traditional trance, but I wasn't satisfied, so in one night (spent like 2-3 hours) I wrote the main elements, then in following days I added more things: Intro, mixing and the rest of the song.

For the bridge, I wanted to do a guitar solo. However due to my inexperience with electric guitars, I couldn't pull off a riff I was satisfied with, or make the instrument sound like I wanted. Thankfully, my friend Arponax helped me with the guitar riffs; Recorded 4 riffs which I sewed into the song. The final product sounds amazing!

My FX chain isn't too unique but is responsible for the wide guitar you're hearing:

1. Subtle soundgoodizer
2. Hardcore (chorus, noise gate, delay)
3. LuxeVerb - makes it sound distant
4. Valhalla Supermassive - makes the guitar more wide

Production-wise, the song structure isn't that complicated, but is an impressive piece of work. However, It definitely needs improvement. I will dedicate some time for it.

The song initially was supposed to be split into 3 parts: trance>trap>dnb, to hit a bingo and get em 2.5 points, however due to time and other factors I couldn't finish the trap & dnb parts. Instead I wrote a quick techno piece. The part was rushed a lot; too repetitive, poorly mixed, etc. I will work on that later.

I hit no bingos! SAD!!!11

PENALTY!!!! I GET 26.5 POINTS!11 ;(

Not bad. Jini gave me sum good advice, which I'll be using once the contest ends. I've been considering cutting out the second song, as it doesn't fit the first one. Instead, I'll release it as a separate song later on.
