▶ My entry to the @CymaticsFM remix contest #TITANSongContest that, honestly, turned out better than I expected. Warning: This may get stuck in your head!

🐾 I've written a description for this a few times already, so I'm going to try to be quick with this one. So, yes, Cymatics released a sample recently titled "TITAN" and with it, they launched a remix/song contest where the main point was to emphasize the samples available in the beta version of the sample packs release. Unfortunately, my computer has still been broken since the start of this year, so I've been using my boyfriend's computer to make music, where I don't have access to all of my sample packs (and I didn't want to transfer them all to his computer because, well, it's his computer and I would feel bad sing 150+GB of space on his computer just for sample packs. So, I downloaded the TITAN sample pack and decided I would make a song using only samples available in that pack.

🐾 Yes, every sample in this sample pack is one that was provided from the sample pack. If you want to see a comprehensive breakdown of a couple of the notable samples I used in this pack and how I used them to create new sounds, check out my Instagram or my TikTok, both available in my LinkTree below. The only things that aren't from the sample pack are all of the vocals and vocal effects (i.e., the werewolf growls and howls). There is one vocal loop that occurs during the builds that is from the sample pack, though, that I wanted to mention.

🐾 I know I don't usually use 3 points, but the last thing I wanted to say for anyone who actually reads these still (especially with how long I make these... honestly, if you do and you're reading this right now, Thank You! And tell me so in the comments! ^ω^) but let me know how the video looks. I know it probably doesn't look like much on the receiving end, but I put so much effort into making these types of videos, all of the editing, experimenting, and figuring out how to simplify and condense certain aspects of the video so that they are useful elsewhere -- honestly, using ZGameEditor Visualizer to make music visualizers has been the greatest learning experience I've ever experienced in music production and I hope it translates to the final results! Short example: the text effects in this video are two separate text effects that I positioned to look like one in multiple cases to get the different fonts with automation on the font face and size, the effect's X and Y positioning, the hue, and the alpha. All of that is nestled in, what's called, a "buffer" (along with a drop-shadow effect) and output to a separate individual effect so that I can move both text effects anywhere within the chain and not have to worry about layering while moving things around!

Lyrics:
I had that dream again
I turned into a monster
These thoughts, I won't pretend
I never used to foster

My body starts to shift
I can feel myself start to transform
as I grow paws, claws, and a tail
into a werewolf, I'm reborn!

Yeah
Put yo' paws up!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Put yo' paws up!
I said...
Yeah!
Put yo' paws up!
I said...
Put yo'-, put yo'-, put yo'-, put yo'-,
Put yo'-. put yo' paw up!

Werewolf
I'm a werewolf
Werewolf
I'm a- I'm a werewolf
Werewolf
I'm a werewolf
Sink my fangs into your neck
until I stop feeling a pulse
I'm a-, I'm a-. I'm a-, I'm a,
I'm a-, I'm a werewolf!

Running around on all fours through the forest
Watch your back, I'll hunt you down with no rest
I feel my paws on the grass as I run
I'm in ecstasy, don't want this dream to be done.
I start to wonder if this is real or a dream
look at the world and it's as real as it could be
Loving life like a werewolf but now I think
Blessing or a curse? I guess that's up to me.

Yeah
Put yo' paws up!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Put yo' paws up!
I said...
Yeah!
Put yo' paws up!
I said..
Bear your fangs!
Show your claws!
Feel that bass shakin' the walls!
Put yo-, put yo-, put yo-, put yo-,
Put yo-, Put yo paws up!
