Week 13 (Terminal)

By ConfettiTsunami on March 30, 2014 10:31 pm

For the next 13 weeks I was planning to make my tracks driven with guitar and bass as my lead instruments. I'm not sure I will manage as it’s far easier to have a laptop on my travels than a guitar but so far I’m managing.

Terminal slowly develops with warm pads made in the OP1 mixed with some Native Instruments software and a bed of electric guitar soaking in effects before the drums kick in with a music box sample courtesy of the OP1. I hope you like it:

Nice work, love the pads late in to the intro, what are you using for those?

Nice sounds! The beat gets really interesting too!

I cheated and used presets from kontakct as I run out of time I’m afraid. They are Samples of the Roland JP synth I believe but I’ve layered the same sound 3 different times one an octave down with a slow attack and release in the centre channel then two panned hard left and right both with quick release times but one with an LFO on the cut off frequency of the filter just to make them even larger.

The aim was to create something that imitated the harsh digital pad sound of the OP1 used at the start but in a more organic way as respite before I added even more harsh elements with the drums in the next section.

Thanks for noticing them and listening to the track.

Thanks RawTicks been listening to your stuff and I'm impressed by your percussive production wizardry so it means a lot.

Beat+vibes=winner!

Wicked chilled trax love it nice sound designs as well. Those feedbacks on the delays are great. The drums mid way are a probably a bit heavy for the rest of the track it feels like its heading into techno territory. Good work matey.
