Haha thanks man.
I pretty much produce strictly in Cakewalk Sonar 8.5PE. I mix & master there as well. I used Sylenth1 (vsti synth plugin) for the bassline and recorded some automation on the pitch wheel. The drums are a bunch of samples and loops all mashed and re-worked, with some sequenced additions from SessionDrummer 3 (which comes native in Sonar). The synth line is part reworked sample / part Z3ta+ vsti synth (native in Sonar). Plus there are FX samples here and there. Oh, and the organ synth, I did in RaptureLE (native in Sonar).
I didn't really spend much time mixing... just the basic stuff you do during the course of production.
Afterwards, I bounced down and ran the track through Isotope Ozone 4, which is a complete mastering plugin and just did some obligatory limiting, mastering reverb, EQ, etc.
One thing I didn't do that I normally do is run the whole track through a compressor, which would have tamed some of those drum peaks and brought the lower stuff up, but in the end, I decided I liked the dynamics and just went with that.
For shi
