One Synth Challenge #146: Sinmad by NUSofting (Double Tap Wins!)

[Spring Goose]

I updated my track to improve the sound - mostly making it less muffled. Many thanks to SeBaer for a lot of detailed feedback on how to fix it. It's still not perfect but I've reached the limit of my present(!) abilities. Sorry to Maltoné, you already made a thoughtful comment on my track and it's now deleted.

I didn't think you'll need it after your performance last month! Record breaking debut! Was that in the chat room?

edit: was it your debut to the competition last month, or have i got mixed up?!

Oh, don't worry about that, it happens occasionally. I think we all just want to hear your best track, that's what counts.

Thanks z.prime. I'm thinking chill/downtempo/dub/electronica for the 2nd project, but i haven't a clue what to call myself!

Chill Faction, Chill Phaxion, Chill Sektor, Down Beast, ReeferBahn, Chilltronica, Fridge Beats, The Phrydge, Fridgean, Mallardian Chill, Chilltronix and finally, Arctronix.


Maybe not your best choices for a name, but ideas can lead to other ideas...

Wicked! Thank you very much for your contribution MalTone (i don't know how to do symbols, sorry). I am (was) quite stumped tbh. "Mallard Mash-up" that was suggested to me.

Chilltronica

Hey i'd be quite surprised if this isn't the name of a real genre. Well i say "real" but i have read up about Chillwave on wikipedia.

Hi everybody, good news about Sinmad 1.0.0 (more bugs fixed and some new features), I just tested it on macbook pro [Mojave] in Garageband and Reaper, on Windows 10 in Live, Reason, Cakewalk, Reaper, BitWig:
it worked very good.
So I hope to have the 1.0.0 official installers for the next weekend.

I will also test it on Catalina and Bis Sur macOS ASAP.

Many thanks for all reports you sent.

Great! How do we get access to these updates? I wrote to Richard Semper once but got no response. I'll be especially interested in results on Big Sur.

It sounds like they will be available next weekend.

I have in fact responded to your pm, but it is still sitting in my outbox on kvr. I will try sending again if you like.

Exactly, not earlier. Actually, more likely, just after the next weekend. ### So I remind everybody that I will ask you send me an e-mail with your authorization to use the track submitted for this OSC. Then I will send you the full license for Sinmad.

I started 2 months ago. My first entry went alright - better than I expected! My second effort did really well but that's because I did something nobody was expecting. I don't think I can rely on a stunt like that every month - have to actually git gud. This month, SeBaer gave me feedback on SoundCloud and then offered more detailed feedback though PM, which I jumped at.

Oh, don't worry about that, it happens occasionally. I think we all just want to hear your best track, that's what counts.

Thanks for understanding!

Found it! My apologies, Richard. I didn't know where to look. Thank you!

I want to start a second project (not for OSC obviously). I was wondering if anybody has any ideas/advice about choosing a second name?

How about
quelone

Sounds abit like clone, & “that” in french with one on the end, also has other meanings aussi or que lone so it’s pretty flexible

That is a good name. I had decided yesterday before i went bed that i'll call the 2nd project Robots Have Feelings Too, which is the title of a story i wrote when i was a child, so i've had a long time with it. I'll have a think about it. Thanks Eauson.

Funny, i just had a message:
"Hi, Slackbot here!

You’re here! Hello!

If you’re looking for help using Slack, click the question mark in the top right corner of the app, visit our Help Center, or reach out to a human by typing /feedback in the message bar.

I, however, am not a human. Just a bot (a simple bot, with only a few tricks up my metaphorical sleeve). But I’m still happy you’re here!"

So robots really do have feelings!

When Moon first rose over the folly of man, she wept a silver lake of sorrow. Now all who gaze
upon it's surface see truth revealed. Some run, some crumple, some just fade away...will one
come and stay to mend Moon's broken heart ?

Haha, I think robots are a bit like politicians they make you believe they care, when in fact they are programmed to tell you anything so you accept them as honest
