Sunset Electronica by Ohm Lab
Today we take a look at the recently released Sunset Electronica, from ModeAudio. These guys have been on a serious tear lately!
Just in time for the return of some much needed sunshine, ModeAudio announces Sunset Electronica. These samples are dripping in good vibes and pent-up energy, ready to be released through infectious and hypnotic grooves. Lovely textures and brilliant processing can be found throughout the collection of drums, guitars, various synths and percussive instruments. Complete with one-shot samples (drums), loops and MIDI files, the Sunset Electronica set is a great one to grab to jumpstart your next production or simply enjoy for the inspiration, of which there is plenty.
The ModeAudio crew always delivers on quality and relevance within the genre they are producing for, and they do it again with Sunset Electronica. The only thing that could have made this collection any better for us is more samples! Seriously though, the one-shot samples in this pack are basically limited to drums, claps, etc. Some sampled bass and lead synths would have really pushed this one over the edge, in our opinion. That said, the loops provided, along with the helpful MIDI files, are a great way to enhance any kind of music influenced by electronica or their genres.
Below is a short demo track we put together for this review. As per our usual, there is no processing of any kind applied (aside from one instance of delay and one of echo, both during transitions and lasting only 2-3 seconds) to any of the sounds used. All sounds you hear are from the Sunset Electronica sample collection. So what you hear below is exactly what you can expect when you use these sounds yourself.
[Please visit the original review page to hear Ohm Lab's demo]We found a few of the samples to be a little hot, but the overall quality and usability of these sounds are great. Sunset Electronica is an excellent addition to the production arsenal and provides a great deal of inspiration. We are happy to recommend it to anyone producing in this realm of the musical spectrum.
