Sample Magic

Rekkerd

"Depending on what you are expecting from Soundtrack & Chill there could be a few hit and miss moments. The guitar section for instance has lots of sounds that have been processed in such a way that they no longer sound like guitar loops much (glitchy, stuttery sounds, weird hits and whatnot). Now I'm not saying they sound bad I personally really like them, but I wouldn't have labeled them guitar loops. There are also quite a few samples that have audible background noise, especially in the rhythm section with percussion loops that sound like live recordings. It makes the samples more real, authentic & alive to me, but you might also think it's just sloppy recording/production. On the whole Soundtrack & Chill is stunningly beautiful. From dreamy ethereal beds to sad piano melodies, unique rhythmic loops, tons of useful sound fx, and more. When it comes to combining loops the large variety of sounds is perhaps a limitation here, as Soundtrack & Chill does not seem to have that same level of flexibility I've come to expect from Sample Magic titles. Or perhaps it's just that it takes more effort to make stuff work in this type of genre, as opposed to something like tech house or minimal which are a lot more loop oriented. That said, the sounds themselves are great. Inspiring, creative, and well produced. And there is plenty of material that is just screaming to be dropped into your sampler, ready to cross over to other music genres."
