Are you able to identify them specifically (specific ensembles, presets) in specific parts/songs?SoundSonicTeam wrote:Yeah i can hear the use of FM8 and the vitual synths in Reaktor.
i've never used either of those, actually. i think they're really cool, and i want to use them, but so far i don't know how (where to put the sounds in my tracks). They're probably best for ambient backdrops like i have in some of my tracks. Metaphysical function is awesome but the snapshots are far too characteristic of the tool for me to just use one of them outright (i just found out that the ambient sounds in the game Weird Worlds come straight from Metaphysical Function presets) and i cannot for the life of me program that thing. i've tried. i accomplish nothing because i can't figure out what set of controls makes what part of the sound, nor do i have any hope of starting from scratch.SoundSonicTeam wrote: So i guess you use Spacedrone and metaphysical function?
The ambient sounds you hear in my tracks are almost exclusively feedback loops made with a Peavey TransTubeFex guitar effects processor. Great fun, those experiments; MUST do more of that. i've also used Sound Forge's Acoustic Mirror (convolution tool) as a special effects processor (not as reverb).
i do like the dark ambient thing, but i'm more aligned with the Nine Inch Nails format(s), my favorites being 'the fragile' and 'Ghosts I-IV'. i've primarily done soundtrack format, probably because i grew up inspired by stuff like synthy 80s Doctor Who and film scores, but i'm interested in (and mostly listen to) the traditional pop structure of verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus, etc. Most importantly, i need to write more vocals, but i suck at that. i can sing well enough but writing words to music is a huge problem for me. Which sucks because i love singing. It's one of my primary enjoyment factors in listening to music.SoundSonicTeam wrote:that sort of dark ambient thing would work pretty well for you huh?
