Started with five ideas on the piano and after trying to make them fit together I got pissed off and went down stairs. After staring out the window for a few minutes I went back upstairs and had another crack at it. Looking through some sounds on Reason I found one I liked and picked one of my ideas to go with it. It seems to take a long time for me to find a sound which fits with what I'm hear in my head. Guess the more I use the sound bank the better idea I will have of what to use in the future. Anyway things were starting to look up and after another hour I had three ideas which worked quite well with each other. It was at this point I felt something was missing so after more sound searching I found an epic choir with some interesting EQ added to it.

Drums were a bitch as I found a glitch in Reason that was pretty cool. When the track played I could mute the drum track and it would hang on the "dung" noise if I timed it right. After 20 minutes of having fun getting good at manipulating the drum loop I realised I couldn't automate the mute button while recording. Went down stairs again for a cup of tea thinking how I could get round this annoyance. When I returned it clicked I could set up different drum loops that would play different things so just as you write variation of a melody I could control what the drums did. The result was nothing compared to what my live recording could of been but at least the fix was some what successful.

 It was at this stage I could see the structure of the track unfolding which made it easier to carry on writing. The trap I always fall in to is spending to much time on the  A section and because I have it on a constant loop it makes it very difficult to think of a B section. Thankfully halving the speed of the drums and the new feel it created was enough of a change that I got away with not altering much else this time round. 

What really needs work is my EQ skills as I'm still an infant when it comes to manipulating a sound. Delays, reverb and various other devices are things which need to be experimented with more as I'm just relying on the presets at the moment. 
 
Anyway after a lot of messing this is the result but be warned it's not mixed since hunger strikes and I quite frankly don't want to hear it again for a while. Every time I do this I realise how little I know about Reason but I guess it's just practice at the end of the day. Laptop has barely enough ram to play 6 tracks at the same time so it's always fun to see what I can get away with before hitting the CPU limiter XD

Kinda make these blogs so I can look back at them one day and laugh but any feedback bombers good/bad would be great! 

P.S need to stop saying I so much.
