Description:

without the vocals made much later this is literally the first song I made in audacity. The first song I uploaded to audiopub was not the first song I made, in fact. Without the vocals because the vocals on it don't sound right.
bpm: 100
key: switches between c minor and g minor
the genre is the same as the solundra2 one, has similar instruments; plucks, the signature drums and bass from solundra 2, and the polyrhythms similarly as solundra2
trivia: one of the samples, particularly one of the plucks in the chorus, was also reused and sampled in high school festival. the bass in that song was also sampled from solundra originally, as they had a similar melody, except that high school festival's melody was higher in pitch and longer
bonus trivia, for solundra2: one of solundra2's drum loops was used in high school festival as well. Both solundra and solundra2 use similar-sounding drums, plucks and synthesizers, namely the sawtooth ones
instrumental made with
sitar (ladspa plugin, found in a plugin suite, as far as I know no longer works in 64bit builds, but I managed to make a few more samples of it, combined with ambience to form the drums)
risset drum or sin drum, sin rum was also a ladspa plugin, but I don't know whether I used sin drum or risset drum to make the bass drum of this thing
pwm (for synthesizers)
pluck, normal one, used for the plucks. The ones in stereo were done by dividing a track into stereo (usually your 2 tracks will be all selected) then one goes into generate menu, pluck, then pressing enter on that one chooses a note, pressing enter, and you have your own stereo pluck
tuning fork. Tuning fork was used for the bass, distorted a lot of times to make the signature bass sound
for making music efficiently, one of the secrets is having shortcuts mapped out to the "instruments" namely, the pluck, the pwm, the tuning fork, and so forth, but you must have samples in hand. guitar samples, drums, some others as you see fit. Pianos, whatever you desire.
and of course, the classic metronome track you must have at all times as the first track.
to esumee things, making music on it is like audio editing, except you have to go slowly about it and decide pitches, bpm, melodies and whatnot.
It sounds a bit awful because the drums were exported to ogg multiple times because I commonly don't use wav, as I don't have a computer with enough space, and it was maltreated over the months with lots of compression, llimiter, compression, limiter, EQ, and repeat, so there's that. Those were my early mistakes of making music with audacity
enjoy, or skyp, as you see fit.
