Name: GeneralQ - PolyDisco by GeneralQ
Duration: 3 min 1 s
Description: Believe it or not. This stunning Old School Disco Track was made using only one synth vst including the drums. And if that's surprising enough it was a Free one. HY-Poly. Also we used only Reaper stock plugins and a few free plugins: Dragonfly Reverbs,Xfer OTT,Izotope Ozone Imager.

Loving the little 8-bit hits and whooshes.

Fun, super-disco feel to start things off.

The brass is fun, but I could see it getting a little irritating if it keeps up too long.

Good way to change the structure. Still a tiny bit repetitive to me, but I think that's what you're aiming for.

It's fun and drives the way it should, more detail and intrest would help but still a good listen

Definitely a dic feel- and the bass sound is great.  I am normally against pumping compression, but the disco-ness of this could have benefitted from a touch of that.

For disco it also would have been good for the bass to stay really front and center - fun listen and nice sounds.
