yo what up Jsills thanks for checking and the comments!
I try and balance the samples with the synths. I'm not at home , but I think the only samples in this tune are in the second drop mainly. in the first drop, the arps MAY be sampled but I can't remember

.
everything else is from the small handful of synths I use.
another thing I've started doing is humming and saying shit in the ol' mic and putting that in ableton's sampler and mangling the shit out of it.
or I may just end up writing a melody and then sample that. or sample delay and reverb tails and place them throughout the tune
again, thanks for checking.
