'Lab It' - New Original Music - Playing Around w/ a New LABS Instrument Resulted in a Cool Idea - Electronic/Instrumental + Walkthrough

## So Spitfire Audio released a new instrument
<div class="pull-right">https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grapthar/23tGdnkcbtPysrEQotu2HK9UE8q1a93Uy5XFf32QoJ9tcj7VaaAPAqFJsHf5W8KuqvALC.png<center><b>Track 8, Distorted Bass Swells</b></center></div><div class="text-justify">for their <a href="https://labs.spitfireaudio.com/">LABS library</a> (which is totally free, and has a TON of amazing instruments), a bass guitar, which I downloaded last night.  I was just playing around with it, and wrote out a 5 bar bass line, which is the first half of the bass part pictured below.  I turned up the attack a bit too, so it almost swells in, though with the other instruments its not super obvious, but does make the attack feel a lot softer, which I think worked out with the other layers of bass sounds that come in later.  Track 4 is another LABS instrument, the electric piano, which is one I haven't used much in the past, if at all.  It provides the chords pictured below.  I really like this progression, and think that writing it around the bass line turned out to be a good choice.  The changes in the middle of bars give it an off-kilter feeling, but without the weirdness of an odd meter.  Tracks 5 and 6 are both kick drums, with 5 adding a 909 kick and Track 6 a kick from that Steven Slate Drums demo I've used a few times.  Initially I just had the Slate acoustic kick sound, but the 909 helped to make it feel like it feel with the more electronic stuff happening around it.</div>

## Track 7 was recorded from another LABS instrument,

I put a crazy Portal effect on it, and chopped it up a little, which gives us that weird, distorted rhythmic pattern that is underneath much of the song.  Track 8 is another bass part, which uses a ROLI sound from the 'Mutated Bass' soundpack.  This adds those distorted synthy bass swells, which I sort of was just messing around with, but wound up liking it adding a different, but related bass part.  Track 9 is <i>another</i> LABS instrument (I know, its a lot, but I felt like I was on a roll with choosing good sounds, haha), and adds the line pictured to the left here, using one of the Modular Piano sounds.  Track 9 is an 808, from an instrument called '808 Warfare'.  I've had it since I first got on Ableton, as my friend gave me a copy amongst various samples and plug-ins to get me started, but I honestly had never used it until recently, as I had COMPLETELY forgotten about.  One day I was looking through demos I had that could run in Kontakt, and this was in there.  It has some awesome 808 sounds, so I'll try and incorporate more in the future.  Track 11 is a little audio clip used to move us out of the break and at the end of the song.  Finally, we have Track 11, which is a hi-hat pattern from my demo of Nerve from Xfer, which has the Valhalla Supermassive Reverb/Delay on it.  I automated the Supermassive warp setting, which creates the interesting timbre of the hats.</div>

## Hope you enjoy the idea thus far!

I liked the beginning the deepness of it then how it was uplifted. Very pleasant transition subtle yet there. Like wandering a trail finding a brook to follow climbing a hill seeing some horses in the distance, then the door to home. I enjoyed it. thanks.
