Hello fellow Surgeants,

I was playing around with the experimental LV2 version of Surge and found it quite stable, so I decided to throw this into the OSC #138.
Here is my submission:
https://soundcloud.com/user-660097946/m ... ess-search

Made on ArchLinux, DAW: Ardour 6.2, 26 instances of Surge V1.7.1 LV2

Further processing (all FOSS):
-x42 Parametric stereo EQ
-Ardour a-compressor
-Calf limiter
-LSP Slapback Delay
-Dragonfly Reverb

Master Bus chain:
-LSP Parametric EQ
-LSP Multiband compressor
-Chow Tape Model
-LSP Limiter
-Calf Limiter

For the friends of dynamics around here:
-14.5 LUFS
-DR 11

Cheers!

So, I was absurdly busy this month, and wasn't planning to enter anything. But then I remembered that back in the first week of August, when I was young and full of hope, I threw this first draft together.

And then I forgot that I still had a day, and I hasty-mixed it and threw it out into the world. Kinda disappointed that I didn't have more to offer Surge, and that I forgot until five minutes ago that I still had twenty-four more hours to mess with it. Anyway, here it is:

EDIT: Thanks to the people who already commented. I took 45 minutes this evening and polished it a tiny bit. Here it is, now. Still pretty rough.

Surge is outrageous. Absolute top-class freeware. You could do eight months of OSC with this beast and never get close to the bottom.

Anyway, I used 20 instances of Surge in Reaper 6.13.

Other FX used:
Dragonfly Hall x 1
Dragonfly Room x 2
Valhalla Supermassive x 1
ReaEQ x 2
Limiter No. 6 x 2
Transpire x 1
Youlean Loudness Meter x 1
Span x 1
TDR Nova x 1

Hi all,

What a great synth! Like Odin2, this one is good enough for many challenges.
I got lost in sound design. It is so much possible with this beast. I allmost forgot to create some music, so I had to force myself for more discipline. I ended up with a quite catchy and groovy tune. For me it is a real "feel good" track.

Done in Reaper v5.99

21 instances of Surge used.

Hi all,

didn´t participate for a long time, due to a lack of creativity (and time), but here it is: a prequel to my OSC 127 track "End of an Adventure" which was kinda an Epilog in a Chiptunish / 8-bit style. So here comes the prequel to that: The Boss fight. (My storytelling is terrible, i somehow start with the end and end with the beginning - that won´t be confusing

)

https://soundcloud.com/impedancemusic/i ... -138-surge

Made in FL Studio 12.

16 instances of surge.

All Sounds made from scratch. Attached are my terrible presets. Those are not only the presets i used for this OSC, but also some other ones, feel free to use them. Surge is an incredibly powerful VST.

Stuff i also used:
Fruity parametric EQ2 (23),
Maximus (1),
Fruity Limiter (1),
Xfer OTT (3),
Valhalla Supermassive (2),
Fruity Stereo Enhancer (5),
TAL Filter 2 (1 - Panning),
Fruity Delay 2 (1),
Fruity Delay 3 (2)

I had my doubts, but finally I did have fun improvising this entry:
https://soundcloud.com/ondes-memorielle ... ry-osc-138
1 Instance, two sounds (A/B) only the internal fx of that instance had been used...
DAW Bitwig, played live with my LinnStrument...
Only the positive comments last time could encourage me to do this. Thanks for that...

This month I was very busy, therfore I didn't have lot of time to compose something

For this reason, I decided to make my test track "Sleepless in Germany", which I've posted some days ago, to my entry for this month.
I made some changes, but It maybe needs a little bit more work

Hey there I need to change my submission

https://soundcloud.com/maze-6000/the-ca ... -the-storm

this is it now, I merged both parts together, since submitting only the second part felt a bit cheap and almost rude and i want at least to submit what I have...

all patches from scratch with internal FX
first part - one instance with 2 scenes
second part - five instances

FL Studio 20
Fruity Parametric EQ2
Rough Rider 3 (on the drums)
Maximus, airwindows Tape and D16 Frontier on the master bus

I've seen comment spammers on Soundcloud of course, but the new twist now seems to to be the "wanna see my plugin folder?" type.

As a protocol droid once said, "How rude!"
