Thanks a lot I've really been working on getting a lot of detail into my tracks recently. My production time has gone way up, but hopefully it's paying off.

well something is paying off! there lots of lovely moments here, building in to a great track all round.
if i get a chance tomorrow (closing down now before the neighbors complain about the noise ) ill have another listen and mark some times and be a little more specific about with fx, some ill be interested to know what you've used and how
seriously! some cool shit happening in it

I enjoyed Morning Flex! Short but very unique. (Is that the name of that song?)

Thanks. I haven't named it yet. I usually start songs by writing two to four bars of melody then building from there. This was just what I wrote that morning as a start to the song I'm working on now. I'll post the final probably in the next couple weeks.

Here's progress on the Jazz Noir track. In this phase I work a lot on sound design, and setting the basic levels. It usually ends up being kind of a mud pie(as you can hear below), but I figure if I can find decent space for an element when the mix is so dense, then it will have it's own space when I go to the arrangement phase and everything isn't going at once. I also turn on my mix bus chain at this point and make some basic moves.

Here's the chain: Waves Abbey Road Vinyl(no crackle, just a little bit of wow and adjustment of the tone arm position)->bx digital eq(just a little overall signal boost, centering everything under 111 cycles, and stereo width set to 111%)->Lindell TE eq(I start adjusting the overall tone)->The Glue(very very light, a db or two, compression with no makeup, filter out the low end so it doesn't trip the compressor)->FabFilter Pro L2(just some light signal boost,). I'm over the loudness wars and like my transients, so when my signal hits the L2, it's usually not chopping off more than a db. And finally, I place a Waves L3-LL UltraMaximiser on the stereo out and push the signal a couple of DB.

Anyway here's the clip of my mud pie:

[eassae]

i haven't forgotten!

No worries at all.

eassae,
Thank you for checking out my music! Now your song: now I know the Easter Bunny is for real. Your song sounds interesting, though somewhat repetitive after a while. It could work perfectly well in a video, TV show, or a movie though, I think. I listened to the first few minutes of 'Recursion', which sounds interesting also. I didn't have the patience to hear the full 24 minutes, though I think this could work well in a video, TV show or movie also.

Thanks for listening Yeah the e1 bunny track is crap. I thought I'd just kick off my thread with the first song I ever produced.

It seems like it's more common on this forum to create a thread for each song you post, rather than just having one where you post all your stuff? I'm still learning the ropes here.

around 1:20, theres a lovely "fold back on itself" moment! particularly interested in the what and how there. similar around 2:20
final synthy bit again, has that "transformers robots in disguise" awesome sound
the sort of vocal type synth that plays a fair bit, thats very nice, as is the sound design overall.

and the drums, crystal clarity for every hit! very impressive work

i dont think theres any rule, but yes, most people do use seperate threads, i think before you ive only really seen wags do it until recently.

from a personal pov, i find it easier to see a new track has been posted, if i see a new thread. where the other you can open it see lots of new comments and miss new tracks occasionally.
but that might just be me being easily confused

Hey Vurt,

There are a few things layered there but I think your talking about these ONE(wait for it, takes a few to come in) and TWO? So to do this I started with a patch I made in absynth, the basics are: Double Saw_real in the first lane, pitched an octave down with a cloud filter; a single sign in lane 2 pitched 20 down unfiltered; another double saw in lane 3 with a cloud filter. All three have an envelope that raises the pitch over 4 bars. After that I have a Valhalla plate reverb with a 35% mix and a 6.6 second delay. After that, and where the magic happens, is a simple logic tremolo. Start with the rate at DC, depth at 100%, smoothing at 46%, phase at 60%(this is the key) which turns the tremolo into a gate with a little bit of stereo width because of the offset. For a pure gate you would set the phase at -90. After this is set up automate the rate from DC to 20 and you get the effect. You actually hear this in motor sound design in movies all the time(See Star Wars VII), this is actually where I picked up this trick. Two is the reverse. I just bounced in place and reversed.

The voc synth you're talking about is this VOC? If so, this is the LuSH-101 from d16. The patch uses a vowel filter(built into the synth) on a simple saw wave, then it's arped and gated, then some delay, then a uhbik phaser then gated again to clean it up.

Thanks for the comment on the drums. I mix in logic and create an number of sub groups. Everything except the drums and bass go through a duck bus with a sidechain compressor that is triggered by the kick—I use an EQ to roll off all the low end on this channel. I also have a separate duck bus for my effects buss.

Hopefully I got the right sounds you were looking for? If not let me know. Also happy to answer any more questions.

Got it. I'll have a think on this. I kind of wanted everything in one place, but it seems like it's confusing to a lot of people. When in Rome:)
