vanmorrison was charged with the task of choosing the featured synth for this comp, but once again, a little bit of coercion came into play! However, who cares?
... we have the pleasure of squeezing some sounds out of TAL-Noisemaker! It was recently updated, so I'm sure many of you will want to give this beast a go!Create a track using only Noisemaker for all the sounds, including percussion!
Download Noisemaker here ....

* * * * * * THE RULES ( please read fully) * * * * * *
The track can be made in any host.
All the sounds in our tracks will be created by TAL-NoiseMaker
* * * FX * * *
Fx are limited to Delay ( unmodulated ), static spatial ( reverb, ambience, ADT etc ), dynamics ( comp, limit, gate ), EQ ( inc. exciters etc ) and stereo fx ( pan/autopan/width enhancers etc )
If in doubt, give us a shout ... but in any case, Noisemaker has some interesting and versatile integral fx ... so why waste cpu adding unnecessary gear and fart around with send channels?
..... Important!......
Other than the hosts native EQ,
All Fx used must .....
**be freeware, and easily available via download.
**generally usable in a wide range of hosts
**not be used in such a way as to transform the sounds to a degree
which makes them unrecognisable as those achievable from NoiseMaker
..... otherwise you will be strung up by the ring modulators and be subjected to anal hog distortion!
.... Fx footnote .... it is a generally held view that in the spirit of the comp, although we all like to create and hear well produced tracks, we should use as few Fx as we dare! ... it all adds to the challenge!
*** There is no track length limit.... but be aware of the prevalence of ARISTOTLE syndrome ( All Right, I'm Suddenly Thinking, Ouch That's Long Enough )
