Scent (EDM??)

[equality]

I am too old for modern electronic dance music (EDM) and I have no idea of the different subgenres. Sometimes I find it very monotonous but in right light conditions and localities, it could be fascinating. Since the correct tools (VSTi:s) are there in my computer, I thought I give it a try. Too old for this genre but not too old to have fun. 😃

I'd be fascinated to know how you did that.

I really don't know what you're talking about🤔 but it sounds like useful ingredients. Have to check that out. Thanks for listen! 🙂

Sorry for late reply and thanks for asking.
The  track is built around different presets from the synth Arturia Lab Pro. BPM 120.
The preset Sequence 7 Osc Chord Rave Seq makes up the first riff. Triaz  drum machine with the presets TOM Boy then comes in complemented by Triaz Non Euclidian at bar 8. At bar 12 Arturia Gaw Bass starts and S.K.Y synth preset analog bass kicks in at bar 16. There's a build up (thanks pwallie!) at 58 sec with snare and cymbal(?) from the Triaz presets and some stacatto organ (Vintage organ Basic rock 3 - NI) before and after the S.K.Y brass theme at the last part and the outro.

Hi - really liked this and pwalpwal's comment is a good one - few more drops and this would be even better!

Cool

Sounds good, pretty busy but you have it mixed well and its clear. I like the sounds you combined. Very good for a “ try”.  There's always more to learn and experiment with. Have all the fun you can!

It has a funky, almost frenchhouse vibe. Cool. My advice, make the 1 downbeat more distinct. I walked away to grab a coffee and when I came back I had trouble finding the 1 (out of the 1 2 3 4). So I was basically listening to another song 😅

Thanks Nigel. A bit beyond my skills but I'll give it a try.

Thanks pwalpwal for coming back to this one and providing the link. Alex Rome is amazing and a great educator. I've got some Serum synth presets after his youtube instruction. The build ups and drops seems a bit more complicated but would be fun to learn. I'll give it try. Thanks again!
