MPowerSynths and a lot of other Melda stuff. To lazy to write all...
Wait, why don't you like the rules?? I think it gives people entering the contest a good challenge to help them grow as producers and to make us think outside the box.
It's just me. I don't like if there's rules and while a challenge is running the rules are not followed consequently. If you have rules and then declare a quick vote where 5 people of 22 participants say I don't care go for it and the rest... I need a reliable mode of operation. Anything else is just bollocks and opend doors for useless discussions. If somebody is late with the submission then it's simply the persons fault - making music has something to do with being organized. Among the Challenges of a producer is to deliver in time. Because on the other side there were people rushing to get their tracks finished and that means they may have made compromised quality. But why they compromised quality? They just were silly enough to believe the rules/deadline have to be followed...A real life Modus operandi that will work for me would be:
1.) Have a set of rules and apply them. No discussion. Any other challenge works that way. Say like you have hundrets of participants like for instance hofa mixing challenges and every now and then somebody is comming late...funny approach that would be.
2.) If you find out that the rules need to be adjusted. Do so for the next challenge, but not for the running challenge.
3.) If your late - accept it or submit unfinished.
But that's not the way OSC is operating so it's consequent not to take part and find an environment that is more suiting my needs.

Update: No need to discuss this elsewhere. I'm not going to discuss this anyway anymore. That was a few final words because sbdy asked.

Hey guys and gals here is my submission. I chose the Waldorf PPG 2.2v. Its an older VSTi but probably my favorite of all. Its limited in a lot of ways but sounds so good to me and I really enjoy making sounds in it. I created all sounds from scatch. I will be posting the bank I used as well

https://soundcloud.com/scrubbing-monkey ... orf-ppg-2v


I used:

36 PPGs
Reaper 5.4
stock reaplugs for EQ and Compression on the busses
Klanghelm SDRR saturation on the drum buss
Transpire in a few spots
1 Full Bucket Brigade delay on a percussion hit ( no modulation)
Sanford Bass Tightener on the bass buss
3 Vallahalla Room reverbs
2 somimus channels for filters on the reverbs
Limiter no 6 on the master buss
We jumped the fence because it was a fence not be cause the grass was greener.

Quick Question to BJPorter... uploading to hearthis.at is a disqualifying? i mean does it really have to be on soundcloud?
Just asking because i'm out space in soundcloud and moving operations as a whole to hearthis.at



//EDIT//
OK it seems it has to be on soundcloud, deleting some tracks and going to upload this......


So...
8 Instances of Icarus

+ External FX:
echoboy
panman
nova EQ
and Ozone 5 Limiter

Anyway, I always wanted to go back to my roots and do some melancholic spacey minimal oldschool electronica stuff like this, almost as if I were sitting in front of my old Fostex 160 late at night with crappy analogish gear, headphones on, and a head full of dreams.

OK, this one just for you Rob!

My guys have warmed up with their freeform jazz and have settled down, The drummer was a PITA, but finally tamed! The flautist laid his flute down for most of the session on top of his hammond in percussive mode (picks it up for some soloing near the end of the track!). My clarinet player finally got into the session, but only just - he was still trying to freeform at the start, but the guitarist gave him *THAT* look!

This is the first draft, and is likely to change a bit.

Mind your ears in the middle solo - the trumpet player was pushing it!

DAW: Reaper

Tracks:
14 * Synth1
11 * Waves VEQ4
7 * JS Midi Note Filter
3 * ReaEQ
1 * Waves Maxxbass
3 * EpicVerb
1 * Valhalla Room

Master:
Stillwell 1973
Stillwell Bombardier
Waves L3 Ultramaximiser

DR:7 <------- I really must do better !!!

So here it is: My first Jazz track as promised ... Enjoy please.

Hi all,

Like last time, when we had an all synth OSC, I choosed Zebra again. I have so many sounds I allways wanted to use in a cinematic track, showing the orchestral side of Zebra. So I made this dark and powerfull soundtrack. You have to turn up the volume a bit, because the track starts realy quiet. I gave the track a right amount of dynamic, which is needed for the the right orchestral feeling.

https://soundcloud.com/photonic-1/photo ... -the-storm

Note: No samples were harmed in the making of this track! :D

34 instances of Zebra in Reaper v5.33

Dynamics: GClip, ReaXComp, FerricDTS, TDR Feedback Compressor
