Eclipse by Medway Studios
Modeaudio is a sample providers that has seen a steady output of creatively engaging content produced at a consistently high standard.
This new pack is no exception. It focuses on soundtrack type effects and beds suitable for both post production and songwriting applications.
What Do You Get?
The content, weighing in at over 1Gb is spread out into the following categories:
- 29 Atmos Drones
- 19 Dark Drones
- 27 Movement SFX Samples
- 16 Sub Bass Samples
- 19 Texture Samples
Lengths of these samples range anywhere from around 10 seconds to over a minute and a half. So, there’s a good balance of impact type sounds and longer running atmospheres.
To start things off, the Atmospheric Drones contain textures with subtle variation that keep them interesting while still remaining consistent enough to fit comfortably within a scene or musical bed.
‘Distant Approach’ is a standout here featuring a fantastically raspy texture of almost vocoder type quality. ‘Statis Drone’ overlays tension inducing beeps like a long lost signal emanating from across the galaxy.
The Dark Drones folder picks up from the previous section but with a more filtered down approach and heavier subs.
Movement adds extra dynamic information that allows the sounds contained within to undulate as they progress from start to finish.
‘Light Tunnels’ surprises midway through with watery textures that sound as if they are revealing a secret submerged passageway.
‘NueronHack’ with its vocal like quality shows off the ModeAudio’s ability to breathe life into futuristic soundscapes with a deft touch.
Moving along, the Sub Bass folder houses even deeper textures than the Dark Drones and has the added feature of being labelled per key.
Finally, Textures rounds off the package with samples especially suited for top layering. ‘AntennaStatic’ with its tangles of distorted noise is reminiscent of the effects within Blade Runner 2049’s epic ‘Sea Wall’.
In Conclusion
ModeAudio continues to put out samples that are affordable yet without any compromise in quality. Whether you’re into post production or any type of electronic music, these sounds are a cut above the rest.
