Reviews for Summer Solace {durn}

Chill, relaxed, hi-dolla (:

It's definitely got the summer feeling going, dude. I like how it's relatively simple, but it's also got a nice layer of complexity to it, it gives the whole thing a really professional feel. 'Atta boy. ;D

Tone-wise, some of the synths I didn't like (the one that comes in at :50 being the only one that comes to mind ;P ), but that's just personal preference, I think, it took away a little bit of the smoothness for me.

Overall, excellent song, this is the kind of stuff that motivates me to get better at writing electronic stuff. (:

durn responds:

lol, thanks man. :D

aye, that's actually the same guitar synth a few octaves up. I dampened the highs quite a bit but you're right, the sound's still a bit off.

thanks a lot for listening :)

Nice job

I'm pleased with the overall smooth quality of this track. It's very catchy and fun without being obnoxious. Too many people make the mistake of cramming as much cool-sounding crap as they can into a song and you didn't.

Hope to see more like this in the future, keep up the great work :D

durn responds:

thanks a lot, man. :) I really did try to keep things basic for this one. I even went against my norm and used a few presets. :P but the song was screaming to get out so I simply went with what sounded best to me. :)

Here comes the sun

Good beat, nice melody and a great sense of variation, to keep everything organised and happy. I can certainly see the hippies dancing around to this one. While it's not quite whale music, it's something that they may well appreciate.

A shame that you faded it out, as you could have made it into a stellar loop, which would have been able to play as a nice piece of background music for a long while, as the sun begins to peek through the cloud cover on a chilly Wiltshire morning, greeting Stonehenge with the first rays of Midsummer's day.

Good work on the synths and the keyboard solos are something pretty neat, that just adds extra impetus to the song.

durn responds:

thanks a lot, man. :) only reason I didn't make it loopable is because I start it off at 92 bpm. so even without a fade at the end it would've thrown it off. :) glad you enjoyed!
