Tried a variety of formats but decided to screw it. If you can tell the difference in the audio between 360p and 1080p, download the mp3: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20435597/Welcome%20to%20my%20World.mp3

First things first, this was my first track in Reason. It's also likely to be my last, blame rewire. Reason can't beat FL's ability to actually use VSTs...

Huge thanks should go out to Dave at Boyinaband, I stole most of my samples from his tutorials. All subsequent songs will have my own samples, I just wanted to get a foothold in the software first.

All this means I'm not really that proud of it, though you are entitled to your own opinions of course. I did have a lot of fun learning to use a vocoder (all of that IS myself, so there is some merit there). More professional stuff in the future, I promise.

Oh yeah, lyrics:

(intro, aka me fooling around):
Oh my gosh, this is my voice.
As in, MY voice.
Now how can I use this?
Oh, I know.

Drum and Bass

Alright, I've got myself a D-N-B beat.
What in the world is another icon, of drum and bass?
Oh yeah,

REESE!

Warning: incoming chorus line. Engage overdrive.

(verse)
Throughout history, we've seen the common man,
Strive endlessly, to try and thwart his master's plan,

And though his efforts were, in total vain,
He struggled on, no matter the pain.

Though no one understood his trials, and tribulations,
They sat and watched him as he took on corporations,

And now we see, his banner unfurled,
Welcome to my World.
(/verse)

So yeah it's probably cliched and cheesy and horrible but I just wrote a poem one day and decided to use it. I'm sure no-one will truly understand it, so there's my faith in it. You are open to interpretation, but it is rather cryptic.

Other then that, I'm not sure what else to say. Pony-related stuff is coming, and I'm glad I have experience in Vegas as I can now make PPS-style music videos. Thanks for listening and enjoy my Pendulum-style drum and bass!
