Hi everyone! Subduer is a plugin I really like and its low on cpu usage so low that I was able to stack up 15 units of it in Madtracker (I am using a PIII 1GHz CPU). Only some basic Madtracker effects have been used (delay, reverb). I used Subduer for drums, percussion, synths, pads, leads and effects. I would like to hear what you think about it and constructive critics are always welcome too

Here is my song: 'Subdued' by BeatMax

Heya Beatmax. Nice use of Subduer! I haven't got around to trying it but there are some nice sounds on your track for sure. Also cool you can run so many of them on your 1ghz. Thats a definite plus in a SE synth.

As for the track itself, I like the melodies - minimalistic and not overdone. Perhaps the song could do with a breakdown of some sort though, otherwise its slightly too long imo.

Also, a production idea/criticism: Alot of different stuff is panned centre or close centre/left. Almost nothing is panned right at all except for delay. You would get alot more room in your mix if you panned more elements, especially percussion. Additionally, some of the sweep sounds and fx sound suited to being automated to pan across the stereo-field - such as the first noise sweep at ~0:50, would be cool if it started left and panned across to the right as it sweeps.

Just some thoughts. Cheers and thanks for the headsup on Subduer.

Hi Floyd. Thanks for listening to my little tune. I am glad you liked it. I`ll see what I can do, never paid so much attention to the positioning in the stereo field. Thanks for the advice

Quite interesting to hear this coming out of one plug only. I agree with floyd there on the panning and length, yeah either a breakdown or the introduction of some weird sequenced sound would make it more lively.

Good demo'ing of the subduer

First of all, thanks BeatMax! Neat song and you've been extremely helpful to me. Very neat to see people making use of the stuff I make. I'm working on new betas of SubDuer and Twitch, should be finished pretty soon now. Again, thanks!

So far, thank you all for your listening and for constructive criticism.
