the *analog taste*

[useless fool]

im really wondering how i can give my music an analog taste? whats that white quite noise that fills the silenece in electronic music?
ive tryed some reverb on the send
some bitcrusher
distortion
but nothing seemes to work!

Do you work in 24bits 96Khz ? Very analog taste for synths. Do you use samples ? Vocals, speach and so on. This add more life into your music.

[useless fool]

yes i do, but i mean, my music sounds so clean, so digital and i don`t know what to do

Tube amp vst?

Go buy a decent cassette deck. Doesn't have to be awesome, just decent. Record your song to tape hot but not clipping. Now re-record that. Put it as a seperate track in your host and mix that in a bit. I've known people who do this and actually have the tape version at 60%+ of the mix.

If you can afford reel to reel do that. If you can afford a proper multi-track unit, use that.

If you have a sensitive condencer microphone (doesn't have to be an expensive one)... try recording some ambience. The fans in the computer case make some lovely "analog" noise

Use your imagination... tons of stuff you can do really.

If you post some examples we could give you more informed suggestions.

You could always play your synths through an actual amp and speaker, into an actual room, and then mic the results. If you have multiple synths in your song, try playing them through different amps, or at least use different settings for the same amp, or perhaps use different mic or speaker locations in the same room. If you have different types of appropriate mics handy, use different mics on the different synth parts. If you have different speaker cabinets, do likewise. Just experiment with whatever combinations you can come up with, and try to give the synths their own individual "space" and character. I think this could help you.

take care,

I bought a TL FatMan which i take stuff out of the computer and then rerecord back in. This does the job perfectly! Or what about buying a little Mackie desk and running some stuff through the eq!?!?

ummm... tritone digital's Hydratone.... or UAD plugins. the UAD pultec and fairchild are especially good for this.

heh, I've actually miced my monitors and/or external amp/cabs to record VSTi back into an audio track instead of exporting. It works well to get some natural equipment eqing, limiting and flavor instead of using plugins.

try an analog summing box.


such as the audient sumo

for 2,000 us, you cant go wrong!

Try using a good amp sim as a send fx ---

he can do that when one actually exists. I think gravity boots are gonna be first myself.
