Drum kit: dragged the drum kit samples onto a plugin. 808 was used simple claps and hi hats. However the fast hi hats at the end were duplicated and reversed .
Synths: P-Lo kept the synths to a minimum to make sure the baseline was at the forefront. The synth that was used is a whistle with a softer tone. 
Effects: Compressor was used for the baseline ]]> 2017-09-26 09:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/malika_mohamed/uflk3h0u314e/wish/191142947 Producer: 9th Wonder malika_mohamed https://padlet.com/malika_mohamed/uflk3h0u314e/wish/191147662 2017-09-26 09:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/malika_mohamed/uflk3h0u314e/wish/191147662 9th Wonder is well known for chopping old skool songs from vinyls and inserting them on a drum machine along with a boom bap kit. malika_mohamed https://padlet.com/malika_mohamed/uflk3h0u314e/wish/191148324

+ Just as accurate than manually sizing midi notes. 

+ Positive Q-Range values quantizes the midi notes inside the q -range value.

+ Negative Q-Range values quantizes the midi notes outside the Q-Range value.
