Hi All,
Got another one in the bag...   This one is a little different and a bit more experimental in nature than what I typically do.  It was initially inspired by Andy's (Synkrotron) single sample experiments, except I've used Reaktor patches as the source for most of the "drones" with a lot of post-processing.  I then added layers of stretched and tweaked loops, synths, FX,  etc..    The mix was tough with a lot of bottom end elements, so hopefully it's "big" but not too boomy... there were some noticeable combined resonances that I attempted to MDynamicEQ out of the mix.

Cool piece, Steve.  I wish I could be so prolific.

Excellent stuff Steve
 
Are you going to be creating more like this
 
Sounded good on my headphones. I know what you mean about low end stuff... Kind of comes with the genre I think.
 
cheers

I like it. I don't have any issues with resonances or boominess.

Phil - thanks!   I just happened to start this one shortly after the last one... I'm not really that prolific.   
 
Andy - why, thank you.   I used to do more of this type of thing but have just been on a more traditional bend over the last few years.   I have to say though, it was fun, so...   
 
Jim - thanks, I appreciate it.   So if you weren't picking up on any resonances then perhaps I sufficiently squashed them in the end.   It's definitely one of those "how does the mix translate?" scenarios!

Nice one Steve! This has a very cool and somewhat mysterious vibe. Mix sounds just fine to me...
 
Regards,
Dan

Dan - thanks!  I like the "mysterious" aspect, something I hadn't really thought about.  I'm glad the mix is working.
 
Grant - thank you for that! I like doing many types of music so I'll take diverse... or slightly schizo, whatever it takes. 
 
Adrian - thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.  Reaktor is so deep and versatile and much more than "just" a synth, and something to be used even more use of going forward.
 
Baps - thanks.  Production was a concern for me on this one because of the nature of the tracks.   But it's good to know how things sit in other environments.
