I have made changes to the track that I uploaded on the 10th or 11th like a dumbass. The track that already has 132 listens. I'm curious why you people are listening already? Didn't you know I was just going to change it? Anyway who are you people doing all this listening? According to my insights I have 61 listens from people who listened while on KVR. So you can't be identified. Probably jancivil and Bones. I have an additional 49 listens that are identifiable. DrBob listened 5 times. He has good taste though. 2 listens by NBIAR. A couple more from OSCers. And the rest is all just spam spam spam. So it's not so bad really that I uploaded too soon.

Here's this month's effort. I struggled a bit with this one: hard to get something that's not buzzy or shrill. I ended up with a load of clips in Bitwig and no arrangement so I just jammed this out with the APC64. This is the result of the second take...

https://soundcloud.com/violator-alba-99 ... al_sharing

So, here we have 16 Regency instances running in Bitwig Studio Producer with newly added support for the APC64. The following additional plugins were used:
- The usual dpMeter 5, Blue Cat Gain 3 and KClip Zero for clip to zero
- Raum
- Valhalla Supermassive
- TDR Kotelnikov
- TDR VOS SlickEQ
- Youlean Loudness Meter

Patches made a lot of use of Regency's built in EQ so the only external EQ was used on the master buss.

Also used the following Bitwig plugins:
- Drum Machine
- Compressor
- Reverb
- Gate

The following generation tools were used to create midi used for the various clips before disabling:
- Beat Scholar
- ChordJam
- Riffer
- Groove Shaper
- Scaler 2
- Melody Sauce 2

All sounds from init apart from the hats.

Hi - it sounds like the start of your track is being cut off slightly by SoundCloud - it's a known issue. If you insert a quarter measure or so before the start it should fix the problem.

Thanks, looked at it. It seems that it is fine some times and some times not. Strange. I don't want to change it here, since I will loose the comment (Basic SoundCloud) I like and totally agree to. But next time I follow your advice.

I'm the comment. I don't mind if you re-upload. Whatever you like.

Remember right-click everything and everywhere - so many extras/goodies/menus/options lurking.

21 instances of Regency in Reaper 7.
Effects: TDR Nova EQ, OrilRiver Reverb, JS: Tremelo, ReaComp, Valhalla Supermassive, IVGI2, RoughRider3, TDR Kotelnikov, HY-Delay4_free, Deelay, kHs Distortion & Haas, and Limiter 6

[doctorbob]

Just to let you know I have replaced the EP lead sound with a guitar and removed the sibilants which plagued my track. I have also tamed any remaining using TDR NOVA (dynamic EQ).

The track now sounds quite different and hopefully easier on the ears.

Among my tracks written for this challenge this one is probably the weakest. To be honest the synth is weird. It's capable of producing various sounds, but mostly I dislike the results.
