Life Around Summer Solstice

By Nik Novo on June 28, 2026 11:13 pm

embix gave me the idea to run my track from last week through a gater and use it as a foundation for a trance track, so I did (almost) exactly that. I did not run the whole track through a gater, but just the main synth and built something completely new out of it. The result is a very relaxed summerish Trance track at 132 BPM.

While building, Logic drove me insane. Like last week I have seen the "System Overload" message more often than I can count - turns out that the Multisample Oscillator in Serum 2 completely strains my CPU. I only found this out hours into the track, so parts of creating if were a real challenge in patience big_smile I literally unloaded the synth patch, build the rest of the track and then for bouncing loaded the correct synth patch again ๐Ÿ™ƒ At least now I know the culprit ๐Ÿ˜…

Awesome tune, super chill and spacey which I love a lot, great for a game menu to choose parts or queue waiting heart

In my head this would play at the cocktail bar of a beach party. I like the relaxed mood. Gets you moving, just the right amount. Real nice that evolving lead-ish patch starting around 1:50.

BRING THE TRANCE GATE!

The perc loop is super cool.

I'm imagining a game that's a bit like Outrun maybe on the Sega dreamcast.

Great bubbling bass as well.

Perfect for all the heat we are having.

Kind of reminds me of BT or something like that.

So light and flighty, so easy to sink into it.

I havenโ€™t made the move to serum 2 yet, is that issue with the multi sampler causing problems for others?
