About the Video: For this track, Com Truise uses the Matrix 12 plugin from Arturia, which offers a sharp digital sound perfectly suited to the sweeping, ethereal tones of the song. The main pads of the track are created with the Matrix 12, while the bass features a phaser effect that the musician is particularly drawn to.
The Matrix 12 has a range of special envelope functions and ramps, and while it was not hand automated, it still delivers an impressive performance. The bass is EQed using the Chandler Curve Bender, a tool that the musician enjoys using for almost all his bass work.
Com Truise rounds out the mix with some built-in chorus effects from his virtual instruments, resulting in a track that showcases his impressive skills as a producer and musician. Fans of ambient music, electronic music, and innovative soundscapes won't want to miss this fascinating behind-the-scenes look at "Existence Schematic."
