{"coolThingsLearned":"Nothing specific jumps out to me, but lots of learning about Ableton and ","toolsUsed":"Ablton - upgraded to the Into version","happyAccidents":"Really happy with the lead synth hook that kinda came together as an after-thought late in the process and I was inspired by a messy copy/paste on the final sound/timing of it.","didntWork":"Not satisfied with all of the vocals, but it's the deadline and I think it would just drive me insane. Not sure the drop goes as hard as I want and I can't quantify why not."}

{"coolThingsLearned":"never recorded a mandolin before, so it was very cool to see that come to life and add a different vibe to the comping. Also helps that cory (the guy playing it) fuckin rips","toolsUsed":"ableton, sm57, talented friends","happyAccidents":"","didntWork":"at one point i kinda envisioned that we would do like a barbershop-ish vocals and snaps thing where it slows down at the end. in practice, it felt a lot better to keep the instruments going"}
