Analog Dreams In A Digital World

By Daniel Schwebel on January 3, 2014 3:48 am

The intro is very BOC but then becomes something else, really cool!

Love the sounds haha, very 80s, dig when it all kicks in

Did a search for synthpop tagged songs, loving the sounds on this one! I gotta step up my 80s game.

Thanks for the love, ^ Synth Pop was my only tag hahaha, I wish I was writing more synth pop. Very fun using subtractive and FM synthesis and just drowning it in reverb.

Yes - kicked in just as I was wondering when it was going to happen.  :-)  Better that it's Analogue dreams in a digital world... because generally when it's Digital dreams in an analogue world something has gone drastically wrong!  (mainly synths detuning themselves and tape transports not working correctly... or a channel on the desk with an earth loop!!)  Nice tune

Yeah I don't have money nor space for any analogue synths, Its all reason, Im really surprised you picked up on the name, Im stuck in the digital domain dreaming of analogue gear, One day, one day I will own a minimoog.

Niceee I like that old school feel

Ya I love this style, I do a lot of late 70s early 80s inspired music these days. Sounds good for Reason, almost sounded like an Oberheim doing the chords.

Thanks dude, I actually am quite un happy with the mix, I have been working on a whole lot of other music, I wanna try to write like, separate music for the weekly beat challenge. I banged this up in an hour after I signed up, So I actually think it sounds shit for Reason, hehe, Not my best work, very rushed, bad on my part. But cheers for the love.

Hi Daniel. Sweet 80s sound. As you advised, I just checked out Pea Soup by Nicolas Collins. Very interesting to read the history of the piece, in addition to listening to it. For my own piece, I used delays with different values, and high feedback, fed with acoustic sounds.

that was pretty great
