As horrifying as this sounds, Panty Line has been doing the majority of our collaborating, stem-sharing, songwriting, and group chatting in Discord. We've been working on a relatively complex track that took a LOT of time to figure out, especially considering that 1. I'm using a DAW I'm less familiar with and 2. I'm the only one with extensive DAW experience.

I made a joke during one of our calls that I would make a song that's just me being a bitch in chat, and this is the result- snippets of my monotone neurodivergent dyke voice, frustrated and screaming because I have to perform DAW magic on stems recorded out of sync or without a click.

Made entirely in Bitwig using stock plugins and instruments. The production took less than an hour, and includes a lot of weird hacks to get the reverb/bassy sound out of a kick (like track layering as opposed to automation).

Thanks to @ilikegoku138 for letting me use her unhinged apology at one of my searing messages. (The story about meeting in Dairy Queen*)
