here's my entry.

https://soundcloud.com/3lu5iv3/3lu5iv3-lemonade

DAW = Reaper 6.79
Instruments = 7 x Apricot
Effects = ReaEQ, SPAN, StereoTool, ReaLimit, PeakEater

does anyone know what genre this is?
i think it's synth-hop(hiphop + synthwave) or retro-hop(retrowave + hiphop)
but i'm not sure.

Single instance

Automation doesn't work with Cubase, so I decided to go for broke and make a single instance track. The only control I had for the synth was the mod wheel.

Cubase 12
1 X Apricot
1 X Valhalla Massive
1 X Revelation
1 X Steinberg Compressor
1 X Steinberg Frequency

Hi all,

Managed to start something but didn't manage to finish. Mainly because I had to leave to go on holiday and also because I used bitwig beta 5 which cut me off at the last minute saying I had to update to a version that didn't work with apricot. Oh well. I liked this little synth and although I'm a huge fan of lush buttery cream filters this one seemed cleaner to the usual VAs as a result it has a much cleaner sound to it.

Here's my submission:

Bitwig 5
32 Instances of Apricot

Native FX used:
Convolution, Delay +, EQ+, Compressor, Chorus +, Reverb, Filter, Peak Limiter.
FX used:
OTT, GSAT +, Kotelnikov, Loudmax, Deelay, Wider, GClip, Valhalla Supermassive, kHs Trancegate, Zeek STFU, Couture.

Do you have the link between [URL] tags?

Post

No normally just type the url and it appears. Mustn't like my track 🤣

Post

lol, I can't comment on the artistry (yet, mwuhahaha), but use the tags, it should work with them.
