a friend waves

made this little track just using the amigo vst sampler. Kind of hard because the envelope controls are minimal and it's not probably the best tool to have super long slowly fading in and out sounds but the crunched up lo fi sound is really really good.

Very chill. Love the untamed edge to this.

This is wickedly beautiful. Love the crunch on top of the lush. Really cool balance. I find myself using AMIGO a lot as well since I got it. It does make me think of the good old Protracker days a lot. (Of course I wouldn't want to miss all the affordances of a modern DAW)

a beauty, thank you

Gorgeous lushness.

love it, the long notes are delicious, with the short drops adding their sparkles inbetween

also love the progression overtime..and how the name of the song can be taken to mean different ways.. having the waves, as a friend..or a friend waving

thanks! It's true about the title, I guess with english not being my first language there's some ways of structuring sentences that will feel correct and others that won't just because I'm used to a different structure, it's something that I find very interesting in different languages

As also another non-english native speaker, I found the title somewhat heartwarming in its ambiguity (yes, I guess I get what you meant because in Spanish we would also say it like that).

The pads are also fantastic. I got AMIGO on the release day, thought I haven't experimented with it enough.

Your track is both an epic form of relaxation (I tested laying flat on the floor of the studio) and a sampling temptation. Takes me back to the late 90s when I browsed around my uncle's new age record collection in search of all those pads I couldn't afford (or had any idea to produce, indeed).

Loving this. Downloaded and faved

Yeah Amigo is cool although it's not doing anything groundbreaking, but it just looks very retro and it's very simple to use. I love those pad sounds from that era and I am trying to reproduce them, it's not easy to nail the right feeling. there's definitely some texture layers and extra sounds layered on top of the main oscillator waves
