Distant Echo by Audio News Room
Distant Echo is a beautifully textured ambient sample pack. Ranging from harmonic to inharmonic, the engineers at ModeAudio have delivered a focused yet eclectic batch of whirring WAV files.
Most of the additive samples were fairly eerie, but overall quite clean (because it's FM synthesis). The bass samples ranged from simple to gnarly cinematic groans. The contour texture samples are all fairly interesting and organic FX style pitch sweep progressions, or more eerie movie-style tension builders.
The inharmonic samples were all minute long drone samples with quite a bit of tension some of which had very cool warbling textures. Both tonal and noise categories both offered drones on the slightly more natural side, some of which evolve quite nicely.
The granular textures were my favorite they offer plenty of variation and are overall quite natural sounding and lush. Many of these weren't quite so eerie, and could be utilized to add a great deal of interest to more mainstream (non-cinematic) music which was the main issue I had with most of the other types of samples.
Overall a great pack for cinematic/ambient/drone production that requires a lot of tension and release.
