I originally composed this song over 10 years ago, and the demo recording has been playing on my devices over the years. I decided to create a published version of it now.  All sound is from hardware synths.

This song features a prominent bass pattern that continuously repeats in the background. I built it by layering bass sounds from several different synthesizers. The riff is simultaneously played by Waldorf Blofeld, Korg Wavestation EX, and Casio CT-S1000V. The drum track is mainly Roland Super Natural, V-Drum acoustic kit (included in FA-06 synth), and certain drum fills were taken from Casio's drum kit. I am not pro drummer and it took time to get those snare hits even. Organsound is from Novation KS4. Piano sound is Motif "Dance piano" patch. Other lead melody is from Alesis Micron VA synth. Can You guess what sound there is from fully analog Behringer Pro-800?

I played the solo melody using a Yamaha Motif preset, adjusting the filter and resonance on the fly. There is a layer of "nasal lead" from FA-06 too.  I always record all tracks on MIDI tracks and assign separate cutoff, resonance envelope tracks, and automated volume levels to different controllers. 

Although the song doesn't have actual lyrics, a keen listener might hear some sort of robotic chatter. These Redone Red One "vocals" were created using the handy AnalogX's robot voice program SayIT, which I found online years ago. Added some tempo delay also there.

When publishing, I recorded the mix on four different audio tracks, muting the other tracks each time: one for drums, another for the bass pattern, and then two synth tracks where I compiled suitable synth riffs together. To produce the mastering track, I summed these four into one by applying EQ, compression, and level adjustment separately. Finally, I exported a complete 192 kHz master track. After that, I uploaded it to the BandLab site (membership required) for AI mastering (Universal mode sounded best to my ears), from which I then downloaded the actual wav file to be published on Distro Kid. I drew the cover art using Paint.Net.

Overall, I estimate that it took about 50-60 hours to get this song studio-ready and publishable.
