Oxx - Trivia v2 - TH3 Plugin Experiment

I was playing with the TH3 plugin when I discovered this sid on chordian.

After many trials with TH3 on different parts of the song, I came up with the short solo transition between 00:24 and 00:32 but spent almost 12-16 hours in total on different days just for this 8 SECONDS.

Then, the DAW started crashing on me randomly while listening to this part, and I had to convert the solo to audio by itself and could not make any more ammendments afterward 😒

I also spent a considerable amount of time for humanization (different velocities for battery / percussion hits, hihats and cymbals)

So this remake is in all aspects experimental. I was for the first time trying to produce something in a genre (does it have a specific genre? I think not) other than I was listening to in general, and, for the first time spent so much time adjusting the automations (pitch, volume, vibrato and what not), the track became having a number of automation events more than all my previous tracks combined.

DAW is Cakewalk by Bandlab as usual, synth parts are mostly by SurgeXT, and drums & percussion are by 99 sounds.

I preserved the original tempo (180 bpm!) but not the pitch (-4 transpose)

I hope you enjoy my work 😊

Note: After seeing DMC's kind feedback, I realized that the battery track for the repeating part of the main melody has it's volume lower than intended. This happened because the hi-hats are programmed on the same track (bad call) and because after decreasing the overall volume for the hi-hats in the mid section I forgot to increase it back to its default value. Thanks DMC.

Note: The version where this error is corrected is on Youtube. (The video link)

With my best regards. 😊
