Thanks Evo! Right now, it is all over the board but I'm going to keep working it
As well and typical I uploaded the wrong version of Our House...this one has the mids and sub range added

So, this down time has not influenced me hardly at all. Strange as this would seem the time TO be influenced. With that said, I have been able to muster a few wips.
This first track is a hardcore wip. Probably only about 45 minutes to an hour. Personally, I feel the rhythm and bass areas are solid and have been attempting to work something around that. The atmosphere is the area of where I am getting stumped at. I am not fond of the arps and the higher frequency tones I am using. Maybe it is ok for a backing track and perhaps I need to fiddle with some lead parts?
Agree with evo8, this WIP has some really nice potential.

• Create a bus and route all your hi-hats, pads & reverb to it. Sidechain compress this bus with the kick as the trigger. Make it pump, perhaps subtly in the beginning, progressing into full pumping ala deadmau5.
• Search for some royalty-free old movie dialogue & scatter some samples at strategic places.
• When you take out the drums, ride the filter on the remaining instruments. Or add a riser element to it.

Ok...I will be honest (and probably one of my biggest issues in production) I have always wanted to learn how to "Bus".
With your criteria there I will give that a shot because I to now am curious. Thank for the tip Mel...will report back

🦉 You need to keep up to date with production tricks cause all the new kids are using them. Check out Billie Eilish's Everything I Wanted. She thinks she's deadmau5, haha.

Ok then, so I have looked at a few videos on Bus production. I am
"seeing" how it is done but truthfully no one has explained the reason...why. So I am a bit confused.

🦉 A bus is just a stereo channel that combines similar instruments together, or whatever you want to apply the same fx/processing to. For example you create a bus that mixes all the drums together so whenever you have to adjust drum levels you just move one fader. You can use one compressor for this bus with settings optimised for transient drums.
You have another bus for vocals with its own compressor using a slower attack.
Another bus for guitars or backing instruments.
Reverb is typically used on its own bus so you can use the SENDS of each channel to adjust the amount of reverb & this will reduce the load on CPU. Producers who invoke a separate reverb plug for each channel are wasting CPU.
To send audio to a bus you typically use the SENDS knobs or route the channel's output to the bus, or a combination of both.

What VST are you using right now?
You can use send to reroute your sounds to a specific channel for your specific FX.

In a way I understand, but for the most part I don't get it. Why would I need to do that when I can just add the effects to the channel of the specific..whatever. be it stabs,pads..etc

Sorry for not responding sooner - this way you have more flexibility to add specific FX to a specific group like drums+bass will have some sort of FX on it (parallel compression,...)

One more think Phil, look at this page https://www.f9-audio.com/products/f9-tk-ableton-live - James has big influence on my production quality which improve massively fronmy few years ago, this should help explain logic behind using sends in your VST.

Been slowly getting back into producing. Hoping to finish a second track with neighbour soon after starting (and not continuing on it since) it 15 months ago.
Last week I decided to create some time and created 4 tiny snippets which I'm rather content with. Time will tell if they ever get finished
