hahah love the honesty, im using "food poisoning" for my next working title.

@Arktopolis Yeah I tried to keep it unquantized but I guess after listening to it a gajillion times I didn't realize how sloppy my playing was haha. Also agreed on the tom hits in the beginning, changed that up a bit more

@Will thanks! I took your feedback for the second drop and changed up the bass line and I'm digging it a lot more now!

Here's the updated version with all the changes. still iffy on the buildup, I'm thinking of maybe adding a riser or something in the background but ill sit on it for a bit more. All the feedback is appreciated

One trivial thing that took me a long to figure out in serum was how sometimes when modulating a parameter with an lfo, the lfo would modulate on both sides of the center point of the knob and sometimes it would begin on the center. To toggle this setting open up the modulation matrix and click on the arrows that point like this <-> and it will change to this -> and vice versa. Super trivial but also really annoying.

Another really great thing serum can do is resynthesis where you can import a sound and serum will create a wavetable based on it. The best way I've found to import a sound from another synth is to bounce an instance of the noise you want to import to audio tuned to F#0 and -22 cents, and drop it into the 2048 tab on an oscillator. It goes over this method in the user manual. This can really open up endless possibilities.

you can also click the parameter while holding alt+shift to change between <-> and ->

I could picture Danny Brown on this, that'd be tight haha. I dig it man, the only feedback I can really give you is that I felt like it took too long to go anywhere. That last section is cool but I got a bit bored waiting to see what would happen next. And when the next part came it was really cool but then that kinda droned out till the end as well

Dimension expander, touch of reverb, short delay(haas effect).

Maybe some side chained white noise in the background when the drop hits, or a crash/impact/something. Just some ideas to try out! I dig your drums

i think it's a great idea. it's not like you're redirecting them into the hands of a competing forum, likely any remix contests will be over splice/wavo/etc and they'll come back here to post their new fresh remix in the WIP section 

one huge thing for me recently was bouncing stuff down to audio. I used to duplicate the 808 patch, change the release, make automations, etc. and it was all a mess and got super inefficient. luckily ableton makes it easy to resample or freeze/flatten tracks so what I do now is write all the bass lines in midi, then when im done, ill duplicate, turn off the midi track (or delete it and save as a new project file), freeze/flatten the track and then chop and fade audio where need be. I find it's much easier to manipulate audio and have that visual reference of the audio track.
