    Nicely done! Really liked that use of Epharus as a sorta distorted guitar sustain screamy texture thing. Volitions as a bass was a cool idea too, might have to steal that for an orchestral thing I'm working on!

      Thank you! Was a "what if" moment with Epharus and Amplitube. And thank you for the instruments. Go ahead, glad you liked the result :)

    I have applied the Venus Theory Decent Sampler instruments to so many of my projects...they are surprisingly practical. That said, Cameron was the first person to reach out to me with a link, after showcasing Malevolence on the channel. He has done a lot more since then, and the collaborations with Dave Hilowitz are excellent! Horror Box, Apparition Engine, and Interlaced are also my favorites. Great work!

    He's also designed a lot of presets across multiple soft synths like BA-1, CUBE, amongst many others. For instance, the song I made called "Dusk" (as キラヨシ) used one of the sounds he made for Pigments.

    I actually quite like a plugin he created called Noctua, can create some crazy distorted and mangled sounds with it despite the simplicity. I once got in an argument with the dude on VPS Avenger vs. Phaseplant, but talented guy all around.

      I've used VPS Avenger 2 since launch and it would definitely be my desert island synth, BUT the prices of its expansions are obscene...

      @@eklipseRomania Agreed, although they are very high quality presets. Many contain one shots, loops, multisamples, wavetables, granular samples etc., so it's not just another Serum expansion. Mostly create my own presets which it excels at.

    Im with u on adding the acoustic drums to almost every song in every genre lol 😅.

    So, you took on the Moustache Man... and succeeded superbly. Your track is delightfully cyberpunk, moody and full of dark, powerful energy - exactly what essence of Venus Theory instruments are in my humble opinion. They have an ability to tap into the Unknown Regions of Sound that make one want to experiment and push the limits out of the confining realm of 'Normal'. Your track already sounds fantastic and I'm going to very much enjoy listening to the final results when it is released... no... UNLEASHED upon the unsuspected. 🤘🐰

    • @AlexReidStudios
      @AlexReidStudios  27 днів тому +1

      Heey thanks a lot for these words :). I agree, the instruments were perfect for the kind of sound I wanted to achieve on this song. It's going to be unleashed soon!

    Woah this video and the track was soo good Alex!!!🔥Waitin fr the release of the track!!!
    Cameron's stuff are really amazing...I use some of his instruments cause they fit the cinematic stuff I usually work on... Also I gotta check out his video scoring course he released recently...👀
    Oh also Alex you gotta check out this new "DROPLETS" Vst...
    It works based on physics and I'm exited to see what you cook up with it..🤞💙

      Bunch of apps with names I can't remember offhand and some indie titles but two 'bigger' ones that are out now on steam are Ground Branch and Mini Airways! More coming soon but release dates TBD - assume they'll be out within the next ~2 years.

    Aww yeah. Really like what I’ve heard of the new song! Cool to see you and Venus Theory cross paths, he’s another one of my favorite UA-camrs. You’re having a really nice year here on the UA-cams, keep it up!
