funny......Last night, we had a complete Deluge of rain and thunder for hours and hours (my wife and I sleep outside in a gazebo, so we really experienced it). I was quite unprecedented for this area and caused lots of chaos/damage. Then I come in the house and begin to listen to this................a continuation, but more like the glorious calm after the storm..........love the way the ending seems to unfold........................

[@vagueversatile]

I thought you were talking about jamming outside for hours on the Synthstrom Deluge at first 😅

[@willswitchcraft]

Yeah, it's not often that one uses the word Deluge with a capital D.......good point

[@substan_music]

that's timing 🙂 ... I can empathize with that very well ... we live in a converted trailer ... always very close to nature and the weather and we've already had 2 floods here (also in the house).

[@willswitchcraft]

water indoors? Sounds like a real nightmare. I know what can be very destructive and hard to control. Living close to nature - the ultimate, especially in these times when the world (especially the tech side of things) seems to be getting farther and farther out of balance, and out of control.......................)

[@georgesboutz8080]

I especially love the muted ghostly voices..

[@SimplyChrisRLP]

Sounds amazing, the nature background and the rain blend seamlessly. At first I thought it was going to rain on the device 😂

[@DotykDzwiekuSwiatloDuszy]

In what you do, you are a master. Thanks for this, and your other works.

[@heatfield4243]

Excellent track, haunting and subtle.

[@Kung_Fu_Jesus]

Transcendental bliss, you really do have a gift

[@Perceptes]

Just gorgeous. You are a master of these devices and a skilled composer. As a musician, I feel like I want some behind the scenes with details on your process, but perhaps it's better to just let go, let it remain a mystery, and enjoy the art.

[@substan_music]

Thanks a lot 🙏 ... That's kind of exactly the description: "just let go, let it remain a mystery, and enjoy the art." To keep exactly this point of view when making music. To simply be a tool for what is to come and to stand in the way as little as possible. Everything else is more of a minor matter.

[@buvrilchristophe8586]

Magnifique ! on espère un Sound Pack comme DigiSphere pour le Digitakt II........Merci et encore splendide ambiance.....

[@substan_music]

Nice work man

[@substan_music]

Thanks a lot mate !!

[@dvevotedlove]

WOW!

[@MathHammer]

Beautiful. Do you record your own samples? There are many wonderful sounds here.

[@substan_music]

Thanks !! Yes .. I made most of the samples and loops while I was developing the piece.

[@SonicVibe]

Nice

[@user-oh5ox8gy8p]

Do you prepare everything mix-wise outside of the takt or do you put dry samples in and mix, compress, add reverb etc. Inside the box? I find it hard to make things sound "finished" in the box and keep going back to make the samples more "prepared" and slamming them back in. I was just wondering since your stuff sounds so damn nice.

[@substan_music]

Thanks !! ... nice to hear that! I think this has mainly to do with the fact that I now have nice speakers, a relatively extensively treated room and almost 30 years of time to make every conceivable mistake. But still, I'm definitely not 100% satisfied with the sound of every piece and there's still a lot to learn and room for improvement. I don't prepare every track, but some of them. At a certain point, it's more important to stay in the flow than to create a perfect sound. And the mastering afterwards also plays a role, of course. Whereby this should be less of a fix (very often the case in the past) than just the icing on the cake (which fortunately happens more and more often nowadays).

[@ZamanDaraliyor8]

great sounds as usual... may i ask, which reverb did you use on this track ... ty

[@substan_music]

Thanks ... There are actually 3 reverbs involved ... Ventris, Valhalla Supermassive and Digitakt's own reverb

[@ZamanDaraliyor8]

@@substan_music thank you for the reply bro ... all the elements re crucial for making your sound unique but reverb is definitely on the top ... also digitakt 2 is kinda worth try, now i need to buy 1 :)) , give us more digitakt 2 journeys ... take care .

[@SparkySubie]

So the rain is all syntakt? How many tracks are are doing rain? My attempt at rain doesnt sound near as good as this :D. Edit: doh, its a digitakt lol. Well i think my effort to syntheize rain and thunder on syntakt was pretty decent then, video on my channel if youre curious
