Here is my submission. Brutal feedback please!

I've been meaning to learn how to use Odin 2, so I took this chance. Glad I did - it's very powerful. Eventually I wanted a second choice for use on simpler sounds that could, uh, smooth out the CPU usage. In past rounds, I found Full Bucket synths very efficient, so I chose WhispAir.

FX counts (excluding monitoring plugins):
- Odin2 x17
- WhispAir x5
- Stereo Width x3
- OrilRiver x1
- TDR Nova x1
- ReaComp x1
- ReaDelay x1
- ReaEQ x7
- ReaLimit x4

My setup: 38 instances of Synth1 and Synth1 (and Tritik "Krush" as my "full 11" effect).

The VST legend. Still in beta (more than 20 years already). Lightweight, sleek and versatile. And I found it best for making extremely distorted sounds.

You need to crank up the volume for this.

Generators:

x3 FL Layer (utility)
x38 Cherry Audio "Synthesizer Expander Module"

EQ & Saturation:

x26 FL Parametric EQ 2
x1 TDR "Nova"

Dynamics:

x17 AdHd "Leveling Tool"
x1 D16 "Frontier"
x6 FL Stereo Enhancer
x1 TDR "Kotelnikov"
x8 Thomas Mundt "LoudMax"

Delay & Reverb:

x5 FL Delay 3
x14 FL Reeverb 2
x1 FL PanOMatic
x3 TAL Reverb 4
x1 VoS "epicVerb"

Master Chain:

TDR "Nova"
Limiter №6

Total:

x25 Generators
x87 Effects
x40 MIDI Patterns
x53 Mixer Tracks
x30 Audio Clips
x17 Automation Clips

And while I was experimenting with file formats and different master settings I found that SC is s***ting up your tracks no matter what you do. Direct download or YouTube video are the options for a better experience.

Couldn't make it. Been a bad week for family. My fault for leaving it till the last minute

Keeping it all in the DAW: 18 instances of Operator...nope... UPDATE: I swapped out Operator with Synth1 in Live with Reverbs, EQ8, Compressors, Delays, Saturator, Limiter, Auto-Pan and Auto Filter.

bummer, but keeping streak alive.

Is Operator a freeware synth? If not, you'll need to swap it out, asap!

[ThePresent]

Isn’t Operator native to Live? In-DAW vst’s are always allowed

[neverbeeninariot]

Isn’t Operator native to Live? In-DAW vst’s are always allowed

In DAW FX are allowed with some exceptions (no chorus, phaser, flanger, pitch shifting, etc, and moderate saturation). In DAW synths are not part of this month's challenge unfortunately : (

[doctorbob]

The rules for this rounds say

"You have two options for this challenge:
Option 1. Choose two freeware virtual synth plugins to make your track
Option 2. Choose one freeware virtual synth and one freeware fx plugin which may be used to the max (full 11)
In both cases additional free fx plugins may be used within normal OSC restrictions."

Once again, I can't sleep, so I'm working on more ideas for my entry to this month's challenge.

Matt Walker is very good on sleep. Could be some useful podcasts here. My wife struggles with sleep too.

Sorry for my late answer
Thank you very much for the link, maybe it will help me.
Matt Walker has a pleasant voice.
Hope it helps your wife too.

Hi All,

Finally finished something, after what felt like a year. I don't want to know how many “OSC_Idee.flp” files I already have on my PC. There must be at least... 3. anyway, for this OSC I had the idea to choose one of the synths I liked the most. Well, it wasn't an easy choice, but in the end I decided on the TAL Noisemaker. Then it was time to choose a second VST that I disliked the most, and I thought for about 15 milliseconds and loaded One Ping Only into the project. But instead of trying to recreate sounds with OPO, I used it instead where I actually found it quite decent: Analog-sounding percussion and marimba-like sounds. I hope you like my intentionally OSC#150-like track.
