Oh yeah and I made it faster too. I tried so hard to keep it slow but to no avail. I’m understanding now why there’s so few house songs in the lower BPM ranges (116-122 or so): it’s just hard to create a solid groove that’s that slow. I shall keep trying.

There’s a serious problem with the interaction between the lead and the swirly pad, need to EQ and drop the pad level when the lead kicks in.

That lead sound is wonderful though, I love the way it breaks up when you play it higher.
