Some people say it's ok and others are saying it's not so who is right? 🤔
from the rules: "Unless specifically announced before the competition, you must use only one virtual synthesizer for all sounds including percussion."
So, if a sound is generated by another plugin it clearly is not allowed.

(Note: In my very first OSC I made a record crackling sound at the start - using Dune. The sound was made using just the synth for both sound and modulations. I expect the same could be achieved with Serum and many other synths.)

Yup – sorry if I was unclear, but that was my point when I gave my conditional 'okay' earlier as well.

In this intro from an old OSC, I'm using the technique I mentioned a few days ago with the (deceptively!) simple Crust synth.

(God, now I really feel the need to revisit and mix that track better!)

Soooo...my main machine's power supply broke (or so I believe), making me switch to a tiny $100 bee-link computer, just so I can at least stay in touch. But then I figured, hey, let's see if MuLab runs on it. Lo and behold, it worked. Then I went straight to FullBucket's treasure chest, got me fb-4999, OTT, Dynamic Expander, LoudMax and Valhalla Supermassive and started goofing around and it actually works!!! I mean, it's all hell to edit sounds as it's super choppy to use the GUI on fb-4999, but even 9 instances have not yet made this little bee-link break a sweat, haha. Incredible! :hyper:
It's therefore not unlikely that I even have a track for this round on the lowest possible budget, hehehe... so fun in a rogue way! :hihi:

Anyway, just wanted to share my excitement in light of what should've been a bit of a tragedy. :shrug: :D

@Mr T. Sorry about your loss :cry: Happy to hear you can still make music :tu: dB

I can relate on the breakage, I made the mistake of trying to upgrade my Dell on my own recently, adding a hard drive among other things. It turns out Dell booby traps their SATA power connections, if you don't use a Dell power cable, you blow stuff up (even though it's the exact same standard form factor mini power connector). I cooked my PSU and my Motherboard! luckily the Mom 'n' Pop shop where I bought my refurb Dell had the parts to fix me up, but damn you Dell!

Not sure, if I'll keep this one, but maybe... (FB-7999)
Well, it clearly shows that skill and talent outweigh technology by far...

Thank you! :hug:
Nah, really, I'm almost getting an extra kick out of the challenge. I mean, I can't wait to sit at a decent machine again, but there's something to it to make music with this tiny box and its gentle pheeeeeeeee...(tiny fan, too). It's a tiny bit bigger than a cigarette case, three usb cables stick out of it, like monster cables, hahaha. It's kind of adorable. :love:

Anyway, maybe I'll try one more with WhispAir, or so. Curious how this will perform. 8)

record crackling was fun to make using u-he's triple cheese. I added some vinyl effects in my last track can only hear it right at the beginning and end.
