So Timbaland Did Me Dirty ( Beatclub - Jamie Starr Submission )

 So after being super active in Timbaland's beat club discord and discord... and stating in the chat that I really feel like timing and mood play into a lot of how he responds, I was feeling super confident in my material, Hell, 3 artists he's played and liked I've been in contact with for collaborations... So of course, I get to be the let's do one last one with Timbaland obviously in a rush  and over it saying he's gotta go before he gets cursed out...

The Strings loop from the soundpack is used during the hook, it's been tuned to Bb minor to match the keys and time-stretched a bit. There is also a layer of it that has been distorted to almost sound like a vocal. I created a kick pattern with the subkick and also extracted the midi from that and layered it with another sub from sublab. The vocal sample at the end is chords that are also built from using the keys midi in harmony engine. Most of the synth parts done with midi have been run through Outputs movement and Dada Life's endless smile to give them motion and create the transitions. The end of the track ...
