ultra orb W38

By SQF on September 22, 2024 5:30 pm

Great comments last week about getting out a creative rut.
Thanks to all who listened and weighed in!

This weeks song does feel a bit out of my creative box.
I used a pad sample and built a bass line around it and a cool drum loop with some ghost note goodness.
The experimentation of pieces parts continued and were assembled into a whole song. 
Definitely more on the chill side compared to what I normally make, and I like it.

Maybe this reflects the mornings getting cooler, evenings getting darker much earlier and the changing leaves of fall right around the corner.

Suspended in a vat, eyes closed, I can definitely see the Ultra Orb. I liked the balance between dynamic beat, and overall softness and melancholy of the other instruments!

👀 Thanks!

Love the overall mood of this - sorta synth-wavey, has a dark and subtly gritty feel. The drums are a great contrast to all of that, really clean and present, almost crispy. This track is an aventure, great work!

oh this is such a cool mode for you, really nice work! such an inviting mix

The little mini drop at 1:50 isperfect, Oh, and the chords at 3:20? INCREDIBLE!!!!
Damn, I seriously LOVE this. Awesome exploration out of your comfort zone. It really yielded some amazing results. Really digging the more introspective chill vibe in general.

This is really nice, I am loving the melancholy of this a lot

The base beat, bass, and pads feel sooo good. Really enjoy the chill vibe on this one, as well as the layering as things ramp up later in the track.

Great groove, and I really love the tone on the all of the melodic synth voices through out... very viby and meditative. 

Those opening pads! Beautiful and creamy! I love the percussion part too and that occasional open hat is perfect. The bass lead at the end is awesome too. And as usual, your sound choices all work really well together here. Nice work!

This is a very cool path you've gone down with this one. Smooth, groovy, confident, but also gives off a chill vibe. I agree the moment at 1:50 was *chef's kiss*

Dig the chill vibes. Great crunchy patch coming in at 1:50 and bass line! Have a hard time giving others feedback but I seem to always have an opinion on yours I think because the vibes always tickle my brain.

Not sure what the fx chain looks like but brain wanted to hear some side chaining on the big verb on the intro or maybe throughout to make the drums knock a little more.

lovely bass and drum compliment. Nice chill backdrop for the arpy sprinkles and lush pad.

Supernice.

It's so smooth, and full of pretty things.

Enjoyed this! Such a nice flow to just ride along with. Mix sounds great, love the bass and drums.

Love the synth meets hip hop vibes.  The loop keeps the steady groove but those pads and delayed sound great over the bassline.  Sweet transitions that lead to the other sounds being introduced.  Bass takes on such cool positive vibes too as it changes up.  The groove of the bass kinda reminded me of Souls of Mischief's '93 til Infinity' from way back smile 

I really dig that ambient sound in the background that ebbs away.  Chill vibes all round here.
