IDK the exact date about the premiere myself, 'cuz I am planning to make one release for this and next track that I had started working on recently. Moreover, I am asking out Smug Peanut to help me working on those tracks, so it might take a month or two.
Video from creating process? Maybe, but no promises))) But there isn't that much to look at, 'cuz I didn't overwhelm the mix with different effects and 5-6 instruments for just side pluck
, just the sounds like they sound separately.
I don't want to upset you, but there are two samples. But I create samples for my tracks on my own and extract from other tracks of mine or hold them on special sample flp project until X time))) Talking about instruments, I created some presets from 0, some were based on existing ones but still altered somehow and adjusted to the mix. Moreover, I used only Sylenth as outsude plugin and only for one instrument. FL-based plugins like Harmless and Sytrus are my besties))) And DirectWave for piano, but even here I used one trick to make normal piano sound more like 90's trance)))
I cannot tell about others, but I am aiming to make my tracks sound a bit different and unique from others. For that I take oldschool, vintage and club-sounding (like Anjuunabeats of 2000-2007) on one hand and still outstanding from general european trance, leaning more to Japanese-like even more melodic, atmospheric and sorrowful anthems on the other hand (that 8-bit sound and "arpeggiated" bell was inspired on J-Trance). Here are some Japanese tracks that I really liked:
1. Graffias - Enthusiastic Cloudland (Original Mix)
2. DJ Noriken - Breakthrough (Lime Remix)
3. ZTS - Unfading Thoughts
4. ZTS - Emiya
5. Lawy - Miles Away
6. Junk - Angel's Voice
7. Dr.J - Sketches in Spring
And many-many others)))
If you have more questions, you are free to ask them)))
Edit: Actually, there's one more instrument from Sylenth)))
