Reviews for "Summer Solace {durn}"

Only one thing.

I can't give this a 10, but it's only because you could be using better samples for your instruments. Other than that, it's top-notch.

durn responds:

aye, still using the pre-packaged reason samples for my live instrument samples. time I started investing in some better soundpacks. :) thanks for your honest opinion.

Great Tune

Exactly what I expect from House music...I like it being this cool and mellow tune that I can chill too.

durn responds:

aye, I've always been a big fan of classic and funky house. glad you're of like mind. :)

Kewl

It would sound awsm if it had lyrics too.
Congrats anyway ^_^

durn responds:

:D thanks. I'm not much of a songwriter when it comes to lyrics though. I have a feeling I'd go all cheesy and sing about love and shit. lol. :D

Again... this is some type of....

"Dirty Disco" type dance.... its got a great, clean sound.... i just dont like the discoy dance.... :) how bout a 9? :P

durn responds:

;) I can live with that. :D thanks!

The electric distorted fake guitar

That guitar at :50 just sounds like a violin on distortion and ruins the chill funk mood. I love how the kick is just not really quite a kick, but it makes everything else lower and stuff if you get what I mean. I like all the synths you used like at 1: 48 I like the breakdown there. Overall a solid track. Is that real guitar?

durn responds:

well, it's a guitar patch on the sampler in reason. I'm guessing it's likely a real recording, most of the propellerhead samples for the NN-XT are.

and yeah, I used sidechain compression to achieve the ducking effect you're speaking of where the dB of key elements dip to the beat. :)

and yeah, should've stuck with the same synth in the 8 bars before, would've flowed nicer. :) thanks for the review.
