Pretty happy with it nonetheless! This is the Retro Funk soundpack at its default tempo. I loaded the soundpack, played with it for a couple minutes, and then hit record. Quite exhilarating having as little control as I did and cutting time-to-decision down to around a couple beats or less.
Total time to make the track about ten minutes, including auditioning soundpacks. I spent more time finding and creating the art than I did playing the track.
For the art, the font is DiscoEveryday and the background vector art was created by pinnacleanimates at www.freepik.com.
