One-Synth-Challenge 32: Zebralette - Submissions and gossip

[bzur]

Just uploaded my effort, might have another go if I find the time, September looking busy from now on in.

Used Ableton with EQ8 on bass and drum track

9 active instances of Zebralette
4 sampled Zebralette sounds 2 kicks, 1 snare, 1 hi-hat
3 instances of Density Mk11 (Great free compressor)
Camel crusher and epicVerb on the sends

This is the first track I've produced in 5 years, thanks for the inspiration

Welcome Andjac! Hope this would be the first of a long series of new tracks from you.

Sweet! I love it when we pull somebody (like me!) out of retirement!

[RuediRena]

I think this month will be more than 25 tracks, at least.

42!

43! We're back in business. Hear a little teaser of our very own quick and dirty percussive sounds (with a little extra added spice courtesy of YEIZON feat. YDG under CC-BY-NC 3.0 license).

Good to see the place buzzing with new musicians.

I made the schoolboy mistake of mastering on my laptop though. Just listened to it on my ipod and it sounds really annoying at the high end. Should be able to find some time to re-master.

@Bzur
Ciao mate, i just wanted to ask you something about your used effects.
I noticed that you always using an effect called DC Blocker.
I could make an idea about it, but i want to know it from you better.

So what is this exactly?
How it works?
It's really useful for you? I mean, do you have problems with DCs so are you using it? Or do you use it just in case?

I always thought that a DC Blocker was only for waves and not for real time synths. So i have this doubt.
And maybe i could use it for my finished Zebralette track before upload it.
Thanks in advance and sorry for bothering.

Have a good day

Hi,

Am I allowed to automate volume and pan in daw?

Hi,

Hi and welcome.
Of course you can. Also you can automate effects parameters and synth parameters.
Have fun and good luck

I can't wait to hear what you bring this time!

This is great... I'm working on a submission now.

As a compulsive editor, I thought I'd mention this apparent typo:

Submit you track(s) here before 1st October KVR time

Unless that's some kind of urban slang, you probably meant "your".

Cheers, Ander

[V'ger]

Looking forward to the track and cheers for the tip, it's definitely wrong i see now as it should actually be "Submit yo track(z) here be4 1st October KVR time" Fixed now..

Ok, i've got another entry. It's a major reworking of the previous entry. If the 2 entries are redundant, let's please keep this one and delete the 1st one. Thanks.

4 Tracks

FX: Buzmaxi3 Limiter, Bugpass filter, Poor Plate Reverb, Stardust Compressor, Lost Angel Compressor

Kick: Buzmaxi3
Bass: Bugpass, Buzmaxi3
Toy Piano: Bugpass, Buzmaxi3
Strings: Bugpass, Buzmaxi3
Mst: Poor Plate, Stardust, Lost Angel, Buzmaxi3

(edit) notes: in the first version, the lead instruments - left and right - both had a variable attack throughout the piece, so both sides were running a gamut of sounds from pluck/piano to horn/woodwind/strings.

in this 2nd version, i try to; throughout the piece, mimick a toy piano on the left, and strings on the right.

I'm getting the toy piano on the left, and a chorus of nanny goats on the right! Awesome!

I'm not sure which one I like best, the first one is much more violent, but I like the variable attack of the two leads. The second one is easier to listen to, but I love the goats!
