[maxym.srpl]

[*]Recorded in one single go (no overdubs) with Reaper 64.
[/list]

There is no such version of the Reaper. They stopped on v7
Sorry, I had to

but the spotted this thing:

Mastering effect: Ozone 8 (commercial, software).

IMO commercial mastering plugin is not allowed. Isn't it?

Otherwise lovely track and performance

Massive X was my choice of synth for this OSC.
38 instances in Ableton Live
Processing plugins used:
Kickstart 2
OxyOTT
TDR Kotelnikov GE
Ableton EQ 8
Waves IMpusher
BX Clipper
Softube BlueTone


Effects:
Audiothing Outer Space 2
Eventide Black Hole
NI Raum
PSP Echo
PSP 2445 Plate
Relab LX480 Essential
Tai Chi Reverb
U-he Color Copy
Waves SuperTap

I used the standard waveforms in Massive X, and I did use the "sample" oscillators for noise as that's the only place you can get it in Massive X.

I really don't see reason you think for PSR only like MIDI source...it was more. You ask for DAW -they basic two - FLS and Nuendo 2. Of course if not count hardware sequensers. For generator sound - FLS and Reaktor. For the button Edit - I will use and will see what changes,but .....hour ago I ask AI about this problem in SoundClowd because if my track is not see here the users can not counted.....and I try a few times copy/paste link...and each time text has,but link missing. And AI answered the other users too have such problems. What can I do more?

@loord: "Used PSR-740, MKII, Nuendo 2, FLS 12, Reaktor 6, Cool Edit, MPC, AIR Compressor, Limiter, EQ, Delay" - I don't even want to count how many rules you missed. It's OSC, not "One Synth and external wav editor, and two DAW-s and whole Reaktor as additional source of sounds plus MPC for even more sounds Challenge".

And I was worried if using external reverb was ok if I already use good synth that have pretty good built-in one...

Would a ground-up rebuild of something I composed in 1995 be acceptable?
At that time I used a Roland Soundcanvas and Yamaha SY22.
It now uses Yoshimi soft-synth for everything. I think I've got enough space on SC to squeeze it in.

[violator_alba]

stopped being stable for some reason, so I've switched at least for now to Waveform Free and am back to not having any idea how to do what you described.

In Waveform you should be able to set one track with your drum sequence on it then route that to separate tracks with your sound source on. To set that up, click on the wee input thingy at the left hand end and select 'Route midi from track...' (or something like that). Make sure all the tracks have midi routed from the drum sequence track. I think Waveform has a midi note filter: stick that as the first plugin on each track and filter it down to just the note for the drum sound you want to play on that track.

I do wonder if the language barrier is causing confusion. For 178 your drums (verbatape/loord) really sounded like samples instead of being made by vaporizer. It might be that whatever you're using to translate is not quite adequate.

[PeterBPL]

I really think that at some point it would be useful to simplify rules and allows limiter as the only effect someone may use (except synth effects). Sure, compressors, eq, transient shapers, reverbs, delays - all of these are very nice and needed for made something perfect (for composing and mixing), but after all it would be nice if OSC was about sound design (in selected synth) and composing. And if synth have no good effects - well, that's bad, but it was selected, so work with what you have. Then, of course, after OSC ends, everyone can add extra stuff and improve their mixes.

Otherwise is a little like synths demos on some websites that shows what can be made using synth (AND some additional stuff what is not always mentioned), so in theory even worst crap may sound interesting and if you buy it - you'll regret.

I regret using an external reverb, especially since that’s over 50% of my snare sound. Literally just a noise burst when the reverb is off.

No. Reverb is fine. The people going on about this here, with all due respect, are noobs. The people who have been entering for years get tired of talking about this stuff. If we didn’t use external reverb this challenge wouldn't be ongoing for 15 years.
