I decided to try something new, which is to make a song based on loops, leaning heavily on pitch-shifting tools and the Textured Guitars and Action Drums loop packs from the RMX Sampler Pack by Nine Volt Audio. I also used the SCVA Electronic Drum Kit to add some accents.
This already sounds good as is, but I plan to develop this track more with composed synth instruments. Also, suggestions are welcome.
