The answer was right in front of her all the time. Had she ever really lost sight of it?

I wanted to try out something a little deeper on the house side of things, but I'm not sure if I can really call this deep house haha. Anyway, this was really fun to make. This is the first song that I've made using Ableton Live, which I decided to try out recently. I'm really liking it so far. The automation is so much more neater than FL studio's implementation. And the ability to have fades and gain control on individual audio clips was so wonderful because I work with audio and resampling a lot. Using fades and varying gain on individual drum/hihat hits can really humanise the drums and add lots of groove.

Since I'm trying out something a little deeper, I decided make it Fluttershy themed, utilising snippets of conversation that I generated using the TTS abilities of 15.ai once again. Then i built a vibe around her soft voice, resampling pads and synths to add layers of complexity of top of it. And I focused quite a lot of energy on making a groove for the drums, since this is dance music after all and groove is really important. Also added a small outro section at the end so that DJs can transition out of the song a little easier (if it even gets played haha).
