GROOVIN

By PeterM on September 1, 2024 6:07 pm

I played with some amp distortion this week to give this one a rough feeling. I also leaned on my organ sound pallet again this week which always tends to lead me to a particular style. Lots of hydrasynth this week again. Pleased with how this one turned out.

Uploading in a rush as I've got something on tonight so gotta run! Congrats on another week down! Looking forward to listening to what you all came up with!

Really gets groovin when that steady beat comes in. Great sound design throughout! Maybe a hydra synth will give me these powers? Killer work

This is ABSOLUTELY a groove. That arp sound against the steady beat is just killer. Great sound design throughout. Excellent track!

Damn, this is really stunning. Such a great slow evolution throughout its parts. Fantastic. You're showing a great deal of restraint and patience drip feeding the little pieces to the listener and it works perfectly. SUPER well done, im really impressed here.

oh yes. that organ sound & then the staccato arps & then that slowburn steady beat that creeps in with all the swagger
LET US GO

Solid groove! The build-up is really nice and I like how you have layered sounds in depth and played with the stereo field as well. The distortion before the drop around 1:45 is nice! The main acid lead / bassline motif is really dark and moody and love how you mixed in the lead arp later with it. I really enjoyed listening to this very cinematic track (could totally visualise it in a film soundtrack)!

Starts slow but once it gets going, it's an incredible vibe. Terrific soundtrack material, reminds me of Mr. Robot.

Thank you! I've been falling back on the Hydrasynth a lot lately, but I want to start doing some more work with the M8 synths to practice some more with them. A lot of these sounds are some presets I've loaded in. I would like to do more original sound design, but I haven't done a lot of that yet.

Thank you! I guess that "groove" has a particular meaning in songwriting, but I meant to use it as just the layman's mean of just chilling and grooving along with the song. I didn't really do anything too interesting with the groove here though. But I did have fun playing with these sounds!

Thank you! I do like doing a slow build up it seems! Haha! I think I'll eventually make some even slower building stuff, but I find I need some more sound design work to keep things evolving and interesting. So I'm not sure if it's restraint or lack of time to do the sound design!

Thank you! I played with a few different ideas and settled on arps in the end. I tried some chords and even some Mario castle theme quotes, but I think the arps were the best in the end.

Thank you so much for the great feedback! I was going to bit of dark intensity so I'm glad your hear some of that too.

Thank you! I will check out Mr. Robot, but seems like high praise! Cheers!
