Thank you for letting me know!
I fixed that now and while I was at it uploaded a new version with less low end.
Thank you for letting me know!
People sometimes use a ton of reverb, so I guess that's fine (as long as it's not modulating). Compression is sometimes used heavily, I think, too. As long as the compressor does not distort the sound... People like to use it e.g. to make drums more punchy, or for sidechaining.IV! wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 9:48 pm I would like to hear a few opinions on this question: whether there are official or your personal (who has what) restrictions on the degree of use of permitted effects for forming sounds. For example, now we use a synthesizer with very limited abilities and therefore similar sounds, but with the help of the "Comp, EQ, Reverb" kit, you can radically change the structure of sounds. I just want to hear how far you are willing to go in using effects when the synthesizer doesn 't provide enough internal features?
Well this synth has a reverb built in so to me 100% wet reverb from the synth would be allowed and you can do a lot with that. Especially combined with the internal flanger(I wish all synths had flangers).IV! wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 9:48 pm I would like to hear a few opinions on this question: whether there are official or your personal (who has what) restrictions on the degree of use of permitted effects for forming sounds.

I've been wondering about those things myself, specifically about severe transient processing. Tried a single instance of OTT last month ( moderately ) and it did already feel like cheating. So, I'm leaning towards the view that transients are a defining aspect of a synth and as such should not be altered. Not sure about reverb use at all, yet. Ideally, it should be minimized if one one wants hear the synth itself. The last two synths, however, didn't sound particularly good in the dry to me, so I must admit that a bit of blurring by reverb was very welcome there. And when it's onboard anything goes, of course. As far as EQ goes, I've not used it in any of my tracks so far, and not really missed it ( maybe others did ). But using basic channel strip EQ is OK, I'd say. Modulating and/or resonating filters not.IV! wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 9:48 pm I would like to hear a few opinions on this question: whether there are official or your personal (who has what) restrictions on the degree of use of permitted effects for forming sounds.

I made my first track with OB-Xd this way - no external or internal effects. I even thought that this is the essence or at least the main ideological message of the One Synth Challenge. But then I realized that not every virtual synthesizer makes it possible to make a good- sounding track without processing. And I just wanted to find out how important effects are for other members in creating a full- fledged track.
Perhaps you are right. But this Cheese Machine gave a good background context for such a question. In addition, the main life of the OSC is boiling here, in the forum of the current month , in the General topic, the majority happens (or writes) not regularly. And, since people respond without reproach, I hope that no one is angry with me for rarely diluting purely thematic discussions with more overall questions.
Totally agree. My thoughts concerning the tightness of rules were purely speculative. I'm not advocating any change ( that would be a bit rich, coming from a 4-time participant, wouldn't it ). And the quoted rule speaks for itself, anyway. Will do the dry piece sometime, I think, as a personal challenge. I'll certainly listen to your OB-Xd entry, you got me all curious now.
Ah, I see what you mean. I've not visited the general thread much, I must admit. Point taken. And to be clear: I am ( and was ) absolutely fine with you bringing the subject up here , it being especially relevant to the CM2 case. Was just thinking that it may also be of interest to people not following the CM2-thread, that's all.IV! wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 1:04 amPerhaps you are right.
