Подробнее о видео

In the last video we created a large palette of ambient sounds, now we resample this and turn it into some tough, hypnotic techno.

NOTE: This is by no means a finished track - it would require more mixing, possibly making the kick shorter, and getting it sitting with the bass a little better. It could also be beneficial to group the synths and do more bus processing such as saturation, EQ, compression and limiting. I didn't like the way the low cut of EQ8 sounded on the kick, if we were to finish this track the final eq on the kick / drums would (probably) be done with FabFilter Pro Q3 due to the extra control over the slopes.
