Huh, ah, nice...quite somee traffic since I left the discussion about a "fx restricted OSC special" ;-)
And I see I have been refered to several times. Therefore I want to share some insights with you.

1.) Oculus VST: That one is all about the peception of space...that is my personal journey and challenge in mixing tracks, meaning to create a virtual space that is broad and deep at the same time. The Oculus VST is just a FX processor that helps like Auborn Panagement does. And I don't own a Rift btw, but still this Oculus VST is *cough cough* easily usabe by using atomation of x,y,z coordinate of the sound source and that will adapt several quality characteristics of the sound. That means there was no special hardware involved in composing https://soundcloud.com/p-e-t-e-r-h/pete ... n-in-space

2.) The Melda Stuff...yes, I was pretty much often tempted to use the Melda Toolbox, i.e. analytical tools, i.e. plug-ins that do NOT directly change anything in terms of the resulting product. But actually I didn't. I felt like Frostline suggested (at least I read that between the lines of his post)...it felt wrong...I placed several comments about that kind of plug-ins into the KVR forum and the soundcloud tracks whenever I felt the person is on the same journey than me...i.e. need to *see* collisions to understand how it can *sound* if they are gone. But that was not meant to suggest, I use it on OSC tracks...there's a musicans live beyond OSC ;-)

Anyway Frostline has a good point when he talks about plug-ins the work analytical.
Because think of that: I could use MeldaProduction AutoDanymicEQ[1] to
1.) automatically create EQ bands that match the frequency spectrum of my track to that of a reference track (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctYZpoe ... freload=10) and...
2.) ... I could just dial in the detected bands into the "frequency" EQ of Cubase to be save inside the rules of OSC.
Same apporach could work for AAMS (http://www.curioza.com/) or may be even Izotope Ozone.
But as I said, it feels wrong for me to use that kind of stuff in OSC. But I use them in other tracks because they are very helpfull. That said, I cannot tell what that actually means for OSC...just wanted to share information.

Kind Regards
Peter

It should only feel wrong in the same sense that using presets should feel wrong. Only due to the fact you didn't do 100% of the work on your own but instead relied upon leveraging the work of others or tools in order to accomplish more than you could without them.

It seems like a backward way to view the world in my opinion as anyone with such a view should accomplish far less productive work in their life. It doesn't mean I can't understand or respect those who take that perspective however.

You just have to draw the line somewhere. I mean OSC is all about using free VST plug-ins that you didn't make on your own. I don't see many entries made by scrawling waveforms on a cave wall.

I love MUnison for vocals. Great stuff, especially on those Vocaloids.

Yeah, there are so many cool plug-ins in the Melda box, I think I'll need ages to check them out all. I bought me the totalbundle at last years black friday...it was just to tempting ;-) But I think i have only figured out 5% if any of the functions by now...
Good tipp, Steven, I will give Munisono a try with Plogues Alter Ego probably soon.

OkOkay
I just posted something here to remind me somehow to come back later and try to play, this game seems good, even if I'm quite used to using a lot of effects, so my participation may depend a lot on the synth, but I'll try, we'll see !
Hello !
Bye !

Hey ! I don't understand, Isn't high end broken ?
Why is everything above 11kHz not computed when you play a F... while a whole new octave of harmonics is added when you play a E, filling space till 22kHz ? It makes E sound greater and brighter than F, and F is really crap. Like, I'm feeling deaf. Is there some kind of optimization that I can get rid of so that my computer computes the final octave till 44kHz so that I can have my 22kHz in the worst case or am I missing something ?

Yes I'm talking about blooo but I didn't find the thread linked to this topic. :tu:
