zerocrossing: Sleigh Ride - Cats, Grain, and C

This cheesey version of "Sleigh Ride" was prompted by the fact that it's a song I've always wanted to learn. I used Subharmonic for the melody - "Moon Cat" snap for the verses, and "Mock Turtle" snap for the middle section. I got the grain effects by running inputs into Grainstates and plugging those into the outputs, while at the same time running inputs into Trilobyte and plugging those into the outputs. So I had an ungrained signal running through Trilobyte as well as a grained signal coming out of Grainstates into the output. Then I just had to stick some eQuaalizer in, and that's it.

chietronix: We Glitchy our Merry Xmas

I become Santa Claus for children of own this year.It is more difficult to think about the present which children expect than composition.

Brian Kennedy: What Child is This?

This was written in Tracktion 1.0 and is probably one of the most stripped down pieces I have ever done. The main melody was the flute 2 setting with Steampipe2 and the bass line was done with Subharmonic. The drums were simply a two bar loop I created using Massive and then I added a little delay to spice it up a little(I don't remember what ensemble used for delay).
