Well, I've done all I could do with this one.

I set out this month to prove something to the forum. I ended up proving something to myself. With hard work and many long hours you can come up with something that shows more than 2 hours of effort. Whether or not this is going to matter when this contest ends, well, that's another thing. I still insist it won't because people here either don't like my music, me, or both. But at least I can look back at this track and be proud of what I accomplished. I left it all out there on this one. I threw caution to the wind and just let loose. I slaved over every note, every FX, every automation, every sound, all of which were made from the default if, for no other reason than because my DAW won't load presets.

Anyway, here's my entry and the specs. I'm particularly proud of the pad and sequence, both constructed from multiple synths, one note at a time. I've done things with this track that I've never done before nor even thought of doing before.

Hopefully, it shows.

Notes on programing.

I've been playing this kind of music with some guys, some years ago,
so I have that in my ear. But I always refrained from doing guitars
with synths, anyway OB-Xd was really tempting thanks to its versatility
and its own random little variations. But my track is still a mock-up,
something like : "please imagine this played by real musicians."
My time and patience were limited so I settled for something
that reminds an electroacoustic ensemble. Much more work should be
used for the sounds and the timing, anyway I hope you will enjoy for what it is.

So here was my submission, but I miss read the rules and used some Daw modulation FX Chorus and Phaser I tried turning them off and I hate the way it sounds without them, so in the interest of "Art" I'm DQ'ing myself. :(

But I'm proud of what I did so I might as well display it here.

14 OB-Xd Synth channels were used along with
Stock Logic plugins:

30 - EQ
04 - Delay Designer
06 - Multipressor
17 - Compressor
09 - Autofilter
05 - Enveloper
02 - Overdrive
03 - Stereo Delay
03 - Space Designer
03 - Silververb
01 - Phaser
03 - Chorus
02 - Scanner vibrato
04 - Tape Delay
01 - Pshift
01 - Exiter

Why, hello there.
It's been a long time since I've taken part in OSC due to life-related issues.
I got around just halfway through the OSC, but I hope I managed to scram in enough workhours into the track. If I had just 1-2 more days, I would refine the mix, but this will have to do!

Skelpolu - Rise & Fall

Now for the stats,

-DAW: Renoise 3.1
-Instances of OBXD: 40 total
-Effects: Too much to count per track, I can provide the exact number once I have time and it becomes relevant - The last two entries of mine didn't require them either, I hope that's fine for now, too.

Now, really effects: Many internal EQ5s (most of which I could've collapsed into just 1-2 per track, whoops), internal Gainers for mixing (again, could've collapsed a lot but didn't have the time to make it more CPU efficient), internal Digital Filters for mixing (e.g. removing inaudible frequencies), internal mpReverbs on some grouped tracks for a less dry feel & mixing purposes (--> feels more like it was "played" in the same room, more homogenous), internal Signal Followers in order to make sidechaining a bit faster to program (directed to the synths volume), Limiter6s to control dynamics of certain tracks or groups of tracks, as well as the master, and an internal Bus Compressor for the same reason - though I could've just used the Limiter6.

Let me tell you: This got my i7 3770 (non-K) clocked at 5 GHz under load begging me to lower the samplerate whilst working on the track - This is why optimized workflow is important, hahaha!
