Smartelectronix Competition!

[Bram]

I should probably add, my use of soundhack's manipulative abilities is LIMITED to solely the Spetral Vocode, Spectral Compressor and Varispeed.

A little on the edge eh
Maybe have a look at MDSP's FFT effexts?

Ok bram, I'll toss out my Spectrally Vocoded elements stretched in the time domain, I'm not really using any in the composition yet.
The others are a must because they don't press the envelope quite as greatly and are the only mac based means to hand draw pitch envelopes.

I have those plugins, btw - but they only work in mono so I haven't really used them yet.

OK, I actually understand the rules and have been having fun slurping the DLLs into CoolEdit. Then I can save these as wave files to load up into Fruity Loops. But FL doesn't seem to cope with the KTAudioHealer plugin. It just refuses to load. So what (hopefully free) hosts have people successfully used KTAudioHealer with?

[Bram]

strange...
the only thing kt-audio-healer does it remove VERY high (approx super 19kHz @ 44.1 samplerate) and VERY low frequencies (approx sub 10 Hz). If you apply a simple low and high pass filter on the audio it'll have the same effect.

Since we cant use our own vocals or spoken word.. might you, Bram, or someone else from S.E. speak something for us? Afterall you would techincally be a S.E. sound generator

Very strange: it loads and works fine on my machine in both FruityLoops and FruityLoops Studio (demo versions). Are you sure it's in the right directory and that you did a "refresh list" or something in FL after you dropped it there?

Quick question - why remove high frequencies?

because they can tire and potentially damage one's ears and/or speakers/headphones ?

Also, yes

<semi-technical mode on>
Having frequencies VERY near the Nyquist frequency means that there are only 2 samples per period to represent the signal. That's not good, and might lead to strange problems (instability, amplitude modulations, things like that). It's usually not as important as DC blocking though.
<semi-technical mode off>

But don't worry: a Nyquist blocking filter only removes VERY high frequencies (as you'll see from the possible range in KTAudioHealer), it won't affect off your hihats or brightness or anything.

Oh. I thought that stuff was cool.

Aaah, OK. It must be some problem here then (yes I did the refresh list business, it appears in the list, it just never appears in the effect rack when I select it). But since it works for you, I tried it on an older FL install on my old machine. Seems to work fine there. So either it's a FL 4.5.2 problem, or something weird about my new machine.

I'm so looking forward to working on this competition...

Hey Bram, how many entries have you recevied so far?

Have you listened to any?

Forever,




Kim.

[posh;broken]

ahyes. that was fun.
i wanna hear the other comp songs.
and also i would like to submit another one. :/
but yes, rules are rules. ohwell. i had fun.
hopefully you will to while listening to it.
and yeah. hi all. my first post, and what a post it is..

[Bram]

Hey Bram, how many entries have you recevied so far?

20

Have you listened to any?

Of course, all of them.

I would certainly like to hear the entries as well when the contest wraps - be it on the internet or CD offer? I feel I rushed my tune too much, but is good in a way that Smart Electronix software is that easy to handle. But for the folks out there that are really working on a masterpiece and get it in right before the deadline - THATS what I'd like to hear!
