Any Questions? - The Outer Limits

New Year, new tunes!  Here's a song idea titled The Outer Limits done "inside the box" using all soft synths.  The real genesis for this came about as a way to test out Steinberg Cubase Pro 14 which I just installed on a "new" Apple MacBook Pro that I configured.

I used Native Instruments Battery 4 to create the drum groove and percussive sound effects, along with Arturia V Collection X for the synth sounds.  SEM V2 is used for the main synth bass with additional synth bass from the Mini V3 during the "chorus" part of the song idea.  DX7 V provides the glacial strings sounds.

P.S. For those that don't know, “inside the box” is a term that refers to the process of using only a computer and software (the box) rather than external hardware (synthesizers, mixers, etc). In the past, using external hardware was the only option, but today, it is now possible to create professional music completely “inside the box”.
