My second track is 2:28 and is a Techno track (I think? I feel like you could call it soft techno, maybe its Jungle???) and its BPM is 175
Patterns:
Montreal and Montreal #2 are both Electric Pianos with #2 being one Octave up.
Serum – Serum and Serum – Serum #2 are the SineSawChords you hear in the intro and throughout the majority of the track.
Serum – ARP_ODYSSEY is as the name implies, an Arp that has some portamento to make it sound, in a way, “Wiggly”.
Serum #2 is a bass preset in Serum, it has a pinch to give it more impact in the song.
Pattern 7 is a Vanguard preset called Velochord which is a preset used mostly for Chords and many alike, but I used it a second arp with each 9th chord being a polyrhythmic arp coinciding with Odyssey.
Sidechain is as it says is a Sidechain for 3 different things, The main Kick Beat, the Breakbeat and the Off-Beat Kicks
Samples:
My Sound Break is the simple break you hear in the intro.
Calling break isn’t used.
Hardbassdrum_009 is the Main kick you hear throughout the song.
2sense-hatty are the Hi-Hits you hear through the majority of the song.
2 is used as the snare in the final drop.
2 #2 is used as the main break before the final drop.
Automation:
Balance 1 through 5 is used as the Sidechain.
Rift is used on the Hi-Hats and is Automated every 4 Bars wherever a Hi-Hat pattern can use it.
OTT is used for the Montreal #2 to give it some oomph to help it be heard in the track.
Serum – Channel Volume is used in the intro to ease in Serum – Serum.
Montreal – Channel Volume is used in the intro and before the 1st drop.
ARP_ODYSSEY – Channel Volume is used for the main arp and comes in briefly before the 1st drop and comes back in halfway through the 1st drop and then comes in again before the break-drop.
Param. EQ 2 – Band 7 freq is used as a lowpass Filter for Pattern 7 until the final drop.
Mixer Tracks Used:
1. OTT and Balance Sidechain (Montreal)
2. Balance Sidechain (Serum)

Evaluation:
I would say I could have definitely used more effects, but I kind of feel like this was just the right amount, so I’m quite conflicted, but I’m happy with the time I was given to work on this Project and I’m happy with how the track turned out.
