    Now, I know that virtual instruments are far from new, but they are all quite new to me! Of course I've dabbled here and there, but that was mostly with terrible and cheap general MIDI boxes and the like. Companies like Spitfire Audio have been putting out low priced and, in the case of LABS, free virtual instruments and they sound brilliant. I'd been long wanting a good quality piano and string ensemble sound, so I knew I'd have to try them again. I'm really glad I did.
    My previous video was also made with LABS and more in the style of music I normally do, so for this I wanted something different.

    This piece was made with the Synth Pad 3 on a single track with some heavy Valhalla Room Reverb. Distortion (stock Ableton effect) is slowly added toward the end. Two tracks of the Peel Guitar are also used, played through Valhalla Delay set to tape starting with some mid level degradation. This grows to a heavily degraded sound with a lot of feedback towards the end. The Valhalla Vintage Verb washes over both guitar tracks. Finally, the LABS (simply titled) Drum backs things up. A very short, quick Tape delay and some Room Reverb were added to this track to lend space and organic texture.
    Everything was performed on the Novation Circuit. A mix of unquantized sequencing and, in the case of drums, live playing. I did this as I wanted a real, raw, organic feel to compliment the similar feel and sounds of the LABS instruments.
    Again, as always, questions and comments are welcomed below. I'm very responsive and I love talking about this stuff. I

    Liked it, the drums needed some more punch to give it the doom and despair :) but the guitars really came through.

      Thank you very much! I can see where you are coming from. I'm just still amazed that this was all made with virtual instruments played from a pad sequencer! That LABS stuff is legit great. Thanks again!

    when I heard the Labs libraries for the first time I knew that with that you could do post rock

      Not much that you can't do with LABS! I just so shocked that it's a free product. I've played around with a lot of free and paid plugin instruments, from Spitfire and a whole lot of others, and to my ears and tastes, these sound by far the best. Like, by FAR.
