[Daniel Rueda]

hello, I want to congratulate to all by the works that share with us and to wish good luck them, i like so much the Hive i think that is a very flexibility tool with the little resources of cpu.

Host: Cubase with automation in a few lines (pan and volume)
hive: 22 tracks (1 instant of hive in 2 channels)
fx: only hive fx 63 times

Processors: all freeware

"roughride" audio damage

I'm really impressed by some of the works here.... also i see how machines are important: with my 19 instances of Hive i was already running at 50-60% of CPU, resulting in a lot of hiccups. 31, or 48 instances? wow.

I only get there by freezing some tracks to offload CPU use

A sensible strategy anyway - once a track has been consolidated, then why let it gobble cpu! My 5 year old machine creaks a lot, only 4 gigs RAM and an old quadcore, but there are ways to manage resources.

Oh yes, some stonking tracks and we are still waiting for some big hitters eh??? This is going to be another hard to judge, time consuming challenge.

I do believe the OSC has been getting better and better. Good stuff guys!

It's always a privilege to use a commercial supersynth for free for an OSC, and Hive is no exception. When Urs described as "a synth that's all about fun", I assumed he meant Hoovers. Although the point of Hive is massive supersaw for little CPU, I actually found this the most CPU intensive OSC in quite some time... maybe ever; only OBXd came close. Alpha software does have its downside, too.

All my patches are from init, except one from the Acidity Squelch preset.

Made in Studio One 2.6.5 x64
21 Hive (x64) instances

Midi Sequencers:
A few ToneCarver Nova instances were used to come up with loops, but due to stuck note bugs, I ended up recording them to MIDI loops and removing them from the project.

DAW FX:
4x Compressor
13x Pro EQ
1x Limiter
1x Spectrum Meter

Free FX:
2x Freeverb3 Hibiki
1x vladg Limiter6
3x TDR Kotelnikov

I uploaded a new version of my track. Increased the volume a bit, added one TDR Kotelnikov and one more bee.

BTW, my CPU usage was 60%... I managed not to freeze any tracks (mac with 12GB) but it's starting to get unstable... Once I take a week off I'll work on an improved version and the first thing I'll do is start freezing tracks.

No sends and only fx used are ableton's eq 8, utility and compressor with the exception of the master track which also has a multi band compressor.

I seriously doubt I'll finish in time, we'll see how it goes tomorrow. I put so much work into sound design and melodies in this one but didn't leave have enough time to arrange them all in time. It's about 80 percent done. But that other 20 percent is way more than 2 days...
