NEMO.BOFH Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 So, here is the deal: You make a track out of the following tools, and post it here. A selected group of people will then vote on the best track or something. That to be discussed still: You can use: Synths: http://www.geocities.jp/daichi1969/softsynth/synth1v107.zip Percussion packs: http://www.nanorecords.co.uk/uploaded_file...-packs/kit1.zip http://www.nanorecords.co.uk/uploaded_file...-packs/kit2.zip ....using the drum sampler of your choice, and/or maybe for flavor add this freeware sampler http://www.discodsp.com/highlife/ Effects: http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/classic-series.php Happy producing!

NEMO.BOFH Posted December 1, 2006 Author Posted December 1, 2006 Hahaha, noone wants to join this very special challenge?! Quote
phobium Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 It's a bit vague I think. It would have been more simple if we were given a sample pack. Like a tracker compo Or at least we've been given a preset pack for a few free vstis. Quote

So how are we going to do that? Quote
phobium Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Hmmm, maybe thats also an idea, to limit it.... also sounds cool. So how are we going to do that? 654267[/snapback] Make a few presets for synth1 and throw together a few samples? Or, we could have a synth1 compo ... See who can make a track using only synth. Using it for percussion, bassline, synths and effects? Quote
Jikkenteki Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 I like the idea, but have been busy finishing a track already. That said, I just finished it so this might be a nice no pressure challenge before going on to the next track. Limiting it might be an interesting challenge too. For percussion samples, you could, for example, limit it to the Nano Records free percussion sample pack. Then maybe pick either a few couple synths (Vanguard, Albino, etc) or else limit it to some commonly available free synths so everyone starts on equal footing (Synth 1 and a few others come to mind).

Mike A Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 tbh, most of my tracks are "preset" tracks even though most of the time the presets sound nothing like the outcome.. but still Quote
Jikkenteki Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Actually I like the one synth only idea as well (Synth 1 actually seems like a good canidate too). Maybe Synth 1 and a limited set of percussion samples? Quote

NEMO.BOFH Posted December 1, 2006 Author Posted December 1, 2006 How about, each participant can submit ONE bassdrum, ONE hihat, ONE Snare, ONE clap... and ONE loop. Then we make a zip, and Synth1 is the only synth to be used. What about effects? Quote
phobium Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 What about effects? 654304[/snapback] Delay and such? Quote
Jikkenteki Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 To to make it a bit challenging, use Synth1 for percussion? 654297[/snapback] It'd be more challenging yes, but perhaps too much so for some people. Having absolutely everything including percussion on the same synth is perhaps maybe venturing a little to close to "synth demo" land for my taste, and I rarely hear much that is really good in that department. At least by having a solid set of percussion samples (again the free nano one's seem like a good choice to me) everyone starts off with a solid base in that department and then can focus on the synth for more "synth" like endevours? Quote
NEMO.BOFH Posted December 1, 2006 Author Posted December 1, 2006 Delay and such? 654305[/snapback] Yeah, because I mean, we could say you can only use the ones that are builtin in SX or whatever, but then again, everyone doesnt use SX... so should we say the ones built into your sequencer? Also, reason users will not be able to participate Quote
Jikkenteki Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 How about. Synth 1 only for the synths. Percussion packs one of these two, since they are basically complete sets http://www.nanorecords.co.uk/uploaded_file...-packs/kit1.zip http://www.nanorecords.co.uk/uploaded_file...-packs/kit2.zip ....using the drum sampler of your choice Effects: only native effects for the sequencer you use.

Reznik Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 for effects, why not use kjaerhus audio classic series? everything you need and freeware Quote
Jikkenteki Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 for effects, why not use kjaerhus audio classic series? everything you need and freeware 654321[/snapback] I thought of that too. Also a good idea. Quote
Malevol3nt Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 for effects, why not use kjaerhus audio classic series? everything you need and freeware 654321[/snapback] Those must be my favourite free plugins, i like the idea of this. Quote
Jikkenteki Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 So perhaps Synths: http://www.geocities.jp/daichi1969/softsynth/synth1v107.zip Percussion packs: http://www.nanorecords.co.uk/uploaded_file...-packs/kit1.zip http://www.nanorecords.co.uk/uploaded_file...-packs/kit2.zip ....using the drum sampler of your choice, and/or maybe for flavor add this freeware sampler http://www.discodsp.com/highlife/ Effects: http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/classic-series.php Quote
NEMO.BOFH Posted December 1, 2006 Author Posted December 1, 2006 that looks good Jikk, any objections anyone? If its a ok with everyo0ne, I will add Jikks post to the first one... Quote

If its a ok with everyo0ne, I will add Jikks post to the first one... 654346[/snapback] Its drifted a bit from the original preset only idea, but I think this way will probably yield better results musically and be a better learning experience for the artists in involved.

Malevol3nt Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 I can't seem to open the links to the percussion packs, are u sure uve typed in the correct url? Quote
Jikkenteki Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Sorry they got messed up when I copied them the second time. I edited the post but here they are again just in case. http://www.nanorecords.co.uk/uploaded_file...-packs/kit1.zip http://www.nanorecords.co.uk/uploaded_file...-packs/kit2.zip Quote
