      @deathboy: i have almost all the trax you've released , i love the eighties are dead and your version of violently happy , but the track i'm really after is the christina aquilera cover from wgw .

      If anyone would like the .NSP file for the full / finished project to load into NanoStudio, you can get it from:

      http://url.ie/8h6j

      ... it's a bit over 8mb (coincidentally, so was the .ogg file of the rendered track!)

      You should be able to see how I threw everything together from that.

      Hope it's useful to someone, let me know if you have any questions about how I did stuff :)

      This was created entirely on the iPod Touch for the NanoStudio / SoundCloud / Palm Sounds competition.

      http://nano-comp.heroku.com/remixes

      As the competition brief says: "[we] ... challenge You to push the limits for mobile music creation and create the biggest track using the smallest studio; the NanoStudio."

      So, to expand the possibilities available in sequencing this track, I made HEAVY use of the bounce facility, to write a new loop out to a .WAV file, then bring it back in onto a spare pad on the TRG-16. I did this five or six times, then saved the project to a new file and cleared the track the loop came from.

      This gave me several additional 'virtual channels' of loops I'd written (playing back on the TRG-16), but with free channels I could work with again and add even more layers :)

      Repeating this let me build up a much more complex project than I thought I could squeeze out of the little iPod.

      Hope that you like the track, please vote for me on the link above!

      If you have any questions on how I made the track, please ask.

      Vocals on this track were spoken by the illustrious Sohma G Dawling, taken from a message a friend of mine sent me on the 1st of March, 2010, when both of our fortunes seemed to be finally on the up (things did get better!) :)

      Cheers!
