Hi guys and merry christmas :-) !

Been rushing this one out of the door in like three days (might lack a bit of mixing and mastering though), but the rest is quite finished.
A bit darker and more minimalistic than my usual style, but who cares :)

Here you go (old version):


And here is the new version:

Thanks man! This kind of Electronic Sound is also currently my Favorite style, therefore trying to do it myself within Reason. Originally intended to have it even more minimalistic, but I often tend to add more and more stuff here and there, ending up with a sound like this :)

sound design is pleasant - for my taste the clap came too harsh might more dry like the last few bars. I heard them on AKG-K701 &. multiple audio systems

Thx mate. Indeed the Track needs proper mixing/mastering. New version already in the making, might post it later tonight.

Hi again Semomat,

I liked the sound of this. It was mentioned that the clap is too harsh, but I can't actually hear that when listening on my small Genelec speakers + Krk sub.
But, my sub works a lot though in this tune. Perhaps a tiny little too much sub - or what do you other reasontalkers listening with a sub think?
It could also be some standing wave in my imperfect listening environment.

Very atmospheric song, love that lead synth stab sound!

Way to go!
It's just a opinion; sidechain routing BD split to Bass + Snare/Clap, compressor does a humanise job here.
Midi/audio lane - through ReGroove patch e.g. adelic/snake/MPCshuffle send breeze and mood "was at once with the world

or something like; fisher prefered sunglasses with polarized filter - let see him ground and makes water transparent

Good track. Well produced. I checked both versions. Non mastered was sub a little too much resulting in losing the other freqs. Mastered version had more room to breathe. Better! I liked the stab or gated pad after the break at 3:00. Gave me that let's-take- a-trip-through-space feeling. Good job. What's next? ;)

Really nice reverb and delay work on this track! Also very spacious mix--sounds are suitably big but also have space. Good stuff.

Really love the space on this track. Haunting and moving at the same time. Well done!
