Buzz Machines - does it require..


Guest

Recommended Posts

buzz is fully software tracer-like program. It doesn't need hardware synths (but has midi support), samples (but can also work with them), but virtual software synths (machines), drum machines and effects - you can tweak every parameter they have. But frankly it's very unpleasant in use - weird keyboard mapping (at least for a tracker :), less friendly layout of patterns (you create single track instead of whole pattern - I feel better when I see notes for all track, not just one :), small number of tracker-like effects...

 

You should try Psycle too - it's very similar, though looks much better...

Buzz is very very flexible and modular...

 

I'm not ashamed to say it's one pf the best programs out there...(maybe the best)

 

Instead of working with programs that do everything for you and have "user-friendly" interface(Reason, Fruity...) you better work with Buzz even if its more difficult because you learn what makes a good sound and a bad sound. I say this because in a Buzz generator you get a "dry" sound(saw, sine) and then put it through effects, so you learn what the sound is "made of"...

I've been buzzing for 3 years now and from my experience I'd say I wouldn't give Buzz for Reason...

 

I know its a little off topic but I had to say this b/c I like Buzz so much...

 

antic: the kbd mapping is very logical, is the same as Pro52.

buzz is very cool however I had probs getting started compared with like fruityloops (where in about 10 secs you can get a good pattern going!)

 

there's a good tutorial on the buzzmachines.com website called "Buzz doesn't suck, you do" which is indisp indespin indisp very very good.

can anybody get me Psycle again in a few days when I have windows 98 back online, I'm really anxious for it..... as well as for Dreamstation ( the wonderfull Formant filter :D :D :D )

 

I don't wanna sound like some guy who's always illegally looking for software, but my students budget doesn't allow much more.

 

ANyway, please contact me ...
