This is a rather "organic" sounding new age / ambient piece that I produced using only
Propellerhead's Reason 4.0. As I have said before, this is one very amazing piece of software, as evidenced by it's massive popularity. In professional circles, it gets a bit of bad rap for it's "sound quality", but I think this track is evidence that you can get a very powerful final product out of Reason without a whole lot of effort. Granted, I do usually export the WAV from Reason, and then "master" it using another VST plugin in Sonar or Tracktion, but that takes all of 5 minutes to do!
The piano sound was produced with
Sonic Flavours Home Piano Premium Refill, and some of the other synths were from their
Mystic Dream Pads series. These french guys sure know how to produce some incredible sounds!
The fretless bass sound is from
Sonic Reality's Triple Bass Refill, and the drums are from their
Monster Drums Refill.
There is just one other synth sound in there from
Pink Noise Studios Analog Monsters 3 Refill. I just obtained this one recently, and boy has it kept me up late a few nights! Hundreds of incredible old-school analog synth sounds to expand the mind.
