For and Against

By NeonRebar on January 9, 2024 11:44 pm

This is a failed attempt at trying to create a certain drum sound I have in my head. I didnt quite get it so I just started adding parts but tried to maintain direction, order and balance so it turned into an exercise in maintaining coherence and helped me get my workflow in order.

Ingredients:
Spitfire LABS drum
Nord Drum
Acoustic Guitar
Spitfire Albion strings
Treated noises
Distortion plugins
Reaper

it feels like a travel logue or transportational at least

I dig the guitar elements added to the track.  Pulls the various beat ideas into line.  I like the saturation in the mix too.

Excellent arrangement! love that it starts with heavy hitting drums and then moves to the long strings phrase to build back up to those drums again. gives me a bit of a radiohead vibe, any second now Thom Yorke is gonna chime in with vocals. well done!

The drums sound great! Love the guitar sections and then how it all gets mixed together in the end in sort of an industrial tune.

This is so good. It feels like a journey.

Very Nice chords and string section! I like the contrasts you managed to create and blend together

those drums are massive. very nice

Nice! I'm loving the way this beat evolves, and the guitars at the 0:45 mark and onward are so lush and gorgeous. Hearing them come back together and melt into that gritty distorted texture is pretty fantastic. This is awesome - definitely a new favorite for me!
