Well here's my song. Made in FL Studio 11 with 21 instances of PG-8X.
Plugins used:
Fruity Limiter
Fruity Parametric EQ 2
Density MkII
Voxengo Overtone GEQ
Blue Cat FreqAnalyst
EpicVerb
GComp2
Fruity Reverb
Sleepy Time DSP Transient
Sleepy Time DSP Dual Panner
TDR VOS Slick EQ
Tessla Pro MkII
Frohmage
TAL Filter
RetroDelay
Signal Dust Abstract Chamber
File size is huge for some reason, I just noticed that but as it's midnight I'm not gonna re-export at better settings. That's just one of many things not quite going how I had planned lol. Well here it is anyway:

A quickie 80's synthprov, and a good challenge. Had a bunch of bsod errors and some other DAW issues. The cpu was 15-25% but latency was completely dead by 14ish instances.
Didn't really spend much time mixing it, or checking the volumes. The kick and snare were fun to do. The Tom is close, but needs a few tweaks to sound right. The tone is very similar to the Electric Fairy's tune.
14 Instances, cubase 6
Multiband, ping pong, eq, channel eq, envelope shaper,
George Yohng's W1 Limiter
Kjaerhaus classic reverb
You wa shock
TAL reverb 3

Uh oh, some stuff in my track didn't export correctly.
Since kvr says it's 11:45 now and I was wrong about the time, here's the corrected version (I hope).
https://soundcloud.com/action-cat-1/act ... d-darkness
I deleted the original and tried to upload this to the group, but it says my track has already been uploaded and is awaiting moderation... So if something goes wrong, I tried.
Better version or not, so many amazing songs this month I don't think it really matters if I fixed a couple small things. Great stuff everyone.

Well, at the last moment I decided to try coming up with a track to submit for this month's OSC. It's REALLY messy lol, and very rough (so no different from my usual submissions!).
I came up with a lead line and then expanded from there, and frantically tried to get everything sounding half-decent in time for the deadline. just made it! Not mixed.... will edit in a moment with details on what was used for track...
https://soundcloud.com/tom-lovehead/osc-pg8x-cygnus86
*edit* Alright here are the stats for what i used on the track:
PG8X: x15
Density MKIII: x9 (my fave compressor
)
limiter no 6: x2
JS 3 band splitter/joiner: x2
Epic Verb: x3
Tal Dub Delay: x4
MLimiter: x2
BooteqmkIII: x1
Melda EQ: x6
Cockos rea gate: x2
thrillseeker vbl: x3
baxter eq: x2
IVGI: x1
Saturation Knob: x1
rough rider: x1
bx cleansweep: x2
Thrillseeker la: x1
Kjaerhaus classic delay: x3
frohmage: x2
Reverberate LE: x1
Ferric TDS: x1
Rea Comp: x1
Man, looking at this I think I use too many effects.

Jez, I didn't realized that I need to join soundcloud group and subbmit song in there. I've already done it, but maybe too late (not sure about what is KVR time).
edit: Huh... it seems that KVR time is west coast time.

but flows well song structure wise and feels like one complete song.
Here's my track.
It is a blend of Goa Trance and Classical Music

Yeah, that KVR time thing ... drived me crazy. So I recently made some changes to my system ...gwoodland wrote:Jez, I didn't realized that I need to join soundcloud group and subbmit song in there. I've already done it, but maybe too late (not sure about what is KVR time).

Thinking about also adding NY time, because bjporter often gives this as reference

Oh well, I was so tired, this weekend's real life was a freaking mess (as you might guess from the title 'burn inside')... I'm glad your track's name and submission post is so optimistic.

Well...I submited a tune @ the last minute, after a frenzied effort to finish up in time. I deleted it though. Too many big, obvious problems with the mix. I like it too much to leave it in such a state. So, see you next time:)

Haha, wow...pity that you're too late and so unhappy about it, but I think it's really fun! I can totally see a weird artsy cartoon about a workshop and a curious forest spirit stumbling into it, trying to figure out what that stuff is good for. Until suddenly an alien observes what's going on, waiting for the spirit to leave. Than the alien goes about it, analyzing all the tools and junk that lies around, eventually doing the same nonsense the forest spirit was doing.
Great and inspiring track!
