I think that "Keep That Diseased Warthog Away From My Tits" would be good. You need a better title, though. I think that “Keep That Diseased Warthog Away From My Tits” would be good.

It doesn't have to have more, necessarily (it has sort of a cool Wendy Carlos vibe to it now) but if you want it to sound fuller you might add some more background instrumentation. You might want to bring the drums farther forward, and maybe apply some compression to keep it from clipping when you turn it up. The actual drum machine sounds could be pumped up a bit, too -- you could look for different sounds, or make them yourself if you have a microphone and some objects to be noisy with. P.S. I like it.

It's not its fault, it's a pretty full-featured program. I'm just not clear how to get it to sound as good as I'd like, and I don't really have the composition experience. I’m using [redacted].
