Using long pads in our productions could vary in creativity - here the main goal is to add some subtle characteristics in the background of our productions in a variety of music genres.
Pads often offer a harmonic base and an atmospheric hug to the whole track. Due to their slow envelope settings they are not used often for melodic purposes - although that doesn't mean that they cannot provide melodic aspects. They are being used in all kinds of genres, from hip-hop to house music and from metal to cinematic and other.
Exploring our planet in a sonic way full of atmospheric aspect was the result of this freebie for Xfer Records Serum.
