Fire Carrots W8

By SQF on February 20, 2024 5:54 pm

Created on the m8 lots of sub37 sequenced/sampled sounds.
Hat tip to the m8 random file name generator so I don't have to think of names.

When the higher-pitched synth came in at around 0:40 I actually said out loud "Oh, niiice!!!"
Those warms synths at 1:10 are also very very nice, especially when paired with the arpy bits that come right after.
M8 random name generator for the wiiiiiin!!!

I think I could pretty easily identify your tracks in a police lineup. You are the master of fat. Very nice. Subjective/cc but my ears wanted some ping pong delay on that first lead that came in. I am very aggressive with the delay and verb sauce though šŸ˜†

Then maybe some layers or harmonies when it comes back in.

Groovy beat!

Love when you "skip" a kick starting the track, cool samples for the drums. They are punchy, in your face. Very cool synths, dense but not "muddy".

Track is moving with the different layers-melodies, well done!

You like those delays A LOT! I did feel I was kind of over the top on my own submission this week, yet you are asking for MORE (On my track and other people ones, we should start a delay cult)  wink

HA! I will take your request for more aggressive ping pong and more layers.

Appreciate it! The skip kick turned out quite nice. All the drum samples are from "the kount" which I pretty much exclusively use now because I like all of his samples.

Any samples from The Kount, Decapā€˜s ā€œDrums that knockā€, and the SwuM Drumkit. All legendary.

Those, Abetonā€™s session drums, and Southsideā€™s ā€œI invented trapā€ make up 99% of my drums and all sit in my template haha

Hahaha blighters_rock might say Iā€™m moreso in the verb cult. Not sure if itā€™s a fan club or verbaholics anonymous. We both got a big UAD package last year and while I was stoking on all the verbs he said ā€œmehā€

The galaxy tape echo and ableton 3/16 ping pong delay are in very heavy rotation for me šŸ˜¬

I just got a volante tape echo pedal and it sounds like I just need to crank it up more.

My go-to for those "Stoner rock" tracks are the Arturia Plate reverb and Izotope DDLY Dynamic delay that I both had "free" at some point with my Focusrite audio interface. (The delay might have been included when I did get the Izotope Element suite a couple years ago)

mmm fire carrots, very tasty.

yaaaaahhhh! love the lead work on this

Oh I'm loving this. The kind of track that when I hear it I instantly just start singing along cause my brain wants to write on top of it. Favorited!

Thank you, I appreciate it! Glad to hear it's inspiring creation

Sickk. I like the wobbly leads and that fat bass.

Beats are fire, synths are tasty, so I guess that tracks.
