The theme is "Elevator Space" so i did just that. I took a fist pump style beat ... you know when kick drum is goin on the 1,2,3 & 4.. then. That gave it that tempo and pulse. I threw some dreamy strings in the back with the commercial chord progressions. I know those chord progressions makes the song big. Then i put my melody on top of that. When i make a melody i make it with the intention to stick in your head. That's what i want my melodies to do.
As i'm making the beat im asking myself is this something i can hear in an elevator? I made it on Reason 10 (Propellerhead) with minimal fx. Most of the technical stuff was the arrangements...and using the filter to bring out the highs during certain parts of the beat, and at the beginning i faded from out to in with the filter. A few tricks with the hi hats but nothing major.
