Let’s Make a Track with Avenger - Part 2

Last time, I worked up to the break section of the track. Now, in this second part, I’m going to push through to the finish line and complete the track! If you haven’t seen the first part or want to refresh your memory on where we left off, check out the previous post here↓

Alright, let’s dive back into creating the track.

But before I continue, after finishing the break section in the previous session, I’ve been thinking about how to develop the track further and what kind of vibe to aim for... As I repeatedly listened to what I had so far, an idea started to take shape in my mind. Inspired by the piano melody from the last session, I decided to try and express a ‘Japanese’ and ‘elegant’ feel in the track.

So, let’s continue from the melody in the break section:

Factory→Piano & Keys→PN Avenger Piano

Trance Invasion 2→Pads→PD Humanity

Nice.

It’s starting to take on that Japanese vibe.

Honestly, once I’ve reached this point, it’s just a matter of continuing to develop the track to match this atmosphere, and charging ahead to the post-break section. With the melody in place, I could already envision the sound I wanted after the break, so I went ahead and created those sounds as well.

Trance Invasion 2→Leads→LD Celebration

Factory→Leads→LD Glorious Club

Trance Invasion→Leads→LD Evil Trance

Factory→Leads→LD Harder Faster 2e

Trance Invasion→BASS→BA Trance Bass 2(arp)

Trance Two→BASS→BA Megatrance Bassline (arp)

With these elements ready, I started to combine them and develop the track, leading to the following post-break section↓

Yep, this is head-banging material.

It’s even got a touch of that elegant vibe...!

At this point, I thought about focusing on further development, but I got a bit greedy... I wanted just one more melody. So, I added↓

Trance Invasion 2→Leads→LD Celebration

Now I have all the parts I need.

From here, it’s time to mix everything together piece by piece!

(Work in progress...)

(Hmm?)

(Hey, wait a minute...)

I realized...

＼I might be able to add vocals to the piano melody!／

So, I quickly asked my colleague who is a vocalist, Ms. S, if she could lend her voice to the track. She agreed immediately—thank goodness. She provided some lovely lyrics that really bring the track to life.

But once I had the vocals... my ambitions grew even further.

I reached out to Mr. I, our in-house video creator, and asked if he could create some super stylish and cool artwork for the track. He delivered beautifully! With vocals and artwork now in place, what will the final result be?

And with that...!

So, what do you think? I must admit that I’ve skimmed over a lot of the steps in this showcase, so there are plenty of details I didn’t go into. However, I hope this gives you a glimpse into the kinds of sounds and tracks you can create using Avenger.

There’s so much more I’d like to share about the title of this track and the ideas behind it, but Ms. S has already encapsulated all of that in the lyrics. So, I’ll leave you with wonderful words. As you listen, let your imagination run wild. Until next time.
