[Don't Give Up Till It's Over]

i like how punchy the kick is, and the wubby stereo bass, also the piano is super crisp sounding, which i can never get as good, i like it

Quarl responds:

I'm surprised you caught that stereo on the lead. I use a splitter to send the lead down two channels, one to the left and one to the right. Either signal can be stacked with fidelity units or effects. It gives me a sense of control over the lead or it just makes a messy patch, I have no idea :D

Edit: forgot to say, I do the same stereo trick to the piano but the brightness comes from a brighter piano patch with good samples. Reason has some punchy pianos. I like playing BRIGHT pianos irl. Some have said that my piano patches sounds cheap or mechanical but to me it just sounds like the kind of pianos I like playing. I like hammering on them at full velocity lacking sensitivity. I'll play with fingers splayed in four separate octaves for big full tones. All the notes can be the same or you can offset the left hand from the right hand but octaves working together give rich, full leads :3

[The Unknown]

very nice sidechain, also the swing(?) vibe helps as well

ZmitteR responds:

Thanks! It’s not actually a swing rhythm, some of the kicks are just off beat which gives it some groove

[Tiarella]

very nice string sound, what do you use?

iElectrocat responds:

Part of it was actually a live string quartet I got to record with over the summer! However, some parts were additions that I just used Spitfire Audio's "Intimate Strings" plugin which I highly recommend!

[Those Were The Days]

Surfin vibes, love the Commodore-esque tone to it.

Viraxor responds:

Thank you!

[shiver]

i like the progression, the half step vibe to it until the end of the bar. It has a certain vibe to it I cant put my finger on, a like uncanny vibe but winter sounding, the timbre really helps with it too. I like it

trevor8 responds:

thanks!

[Opportunity]

very ambient and roomy, but its the kinda roomy where it doesnt sound off, very well mixed in. I like especially the cimbalom(?) type melody instrument that comes in

hrzebo responds:

Thanks! The sound is serum like most of my sounds.

[Whispers]

very nice ambient, is that the marimba in the M1 VST at 0:21?

Accel-yo responds:

thanks dawg! That was actually a vibraphone patch from the M1. The bell/mallet samples on that thing are so sick.
