Yeah. All the damn techniques i have in my inventory still can't help me make good noise. Damn those techniques to hell, talent would be a nicer thing to have.
I have not discovered anything new, but i have dug deeper into various techniques of arranging and layering samples, as well as some uses of panning and spacing and filtering without plugins. Most of the "digging" was not preserved in the final cut of course, but i liked this compo and working on my entry right from the moment i heard the samples. I really wen't to town with the project and i'm dissapointed the result wasn't better. Then again the really really final master is going to sound nothing like this version cos i'll do more work and use plugins as well.
