Awesome composition.
Really soothing. Just a question: how do you get the plucks so perfect at around 0:20 and then 2:50. They're really powerful and well-mastered. Any mastering tips to pass along? Which VSTs did you use or did you make the synths yourself? Congratz on amazing song once again. 5/5, 10/10.
So the beginning minute is all created by one synth patch with multi-functionality. The sound is modulated using a variety of ways: using an amplitude envelope and filter envelope with varying decay and attack, changing the mix between different oscillators, side chaining the pluck with a separate kick whose volume I can control. My EQuing is typically very light to avoid "filtered" sounds since I want my music to sound organic (up to this point at least). Typically, I work with the synths until I am satisfied with the sound. For this sound, I applied (in this order), saturater, compressor, EQ, delay, some reverb, sidechain, post-sidechain reverb (if desired). Hope this helps!
Amazing!
Incredible tune! Lotsa subtle things to notice in the progression - you put them all together really well. Do I note some heavy Daft Punk influence in there?? 5/10 keep up the good work!!!
Haha, I'm glad you noticed some of the subtleties I put in. Of course, some of them weren't intentional ;). However, I've never listened to a single song from Daft Punk (as far as I can remember). But that may change in the future.
OH GOD
The sound coming from my headphones is indescribably orgasmic.
Haha, with music, such description is okay :). Thanks.
Awesome
I can't even get a plucked sound like that.
Send me a pm about what sound you're talking about, and I can help you with it.
O yeh
Thats what Im talking about right there. Thats perfection.
Thanks bro.
