If you’re paying very close attention to recent posts, you may notice that the string sound in the background of this random beat are the same as the one in 3_06. This sound comes from a patch that I created/modified for the “Crystal” soft synth that I have affectionately referred to as “Shitty Strings”. I like the glitchy, rotten sound that this pad produces – it’s created lots of atmosphere in these two tracks so far. Because of this, I expect to use this a lot more in future breaks/trip-hop productions.
