35 instances used to create a track. I've chosen "Synthmaster One".
I spent the last days of January putting together some ideas that I cooked up on winter holidays, a typical sound of mine that resembles an old videogames and B-movies. This time the song is supposed to be a special force anthem that has an atmospheric sections where tension rises. The "Synthmaster" seemed to be a great powerhouse of an instrument and it's a good opportunity to test it. To me the "One" version looks like a much more streamlined and easy to use plugin compared to the main version (I'm talking about multi-tabs inside multi-tabs hassle), so I grabbed it without hesitation.

P.S. Am I the only one having troubles with soundcloud each month? Last month, it said "180 minutes remaining" then it worked after 20 minutes of refreshing. This time, it wouldn't upload for several minutes, it just had a frozen loading screen that I couldn't exit from.
P.P.S. I thought I posted this right when I uploaded it (1:03am), but the post isn't showing up anywhere. I just noticed now when checking for new entries. Not sure what happened tbh.

My average experience with Soundcloud seemingly worsens every year, I regret giving them my money and buying in the ecosystem. And while the audio comments still look cool and the UI still gives me good memories, I actively tell every student to avoid SC subscription for multiple reasons, as the market shifted and I'm not a happy customer.
