One-Synth-Challenge 40: Augur - Submissions and gossip

[Pulse Width Modulation]

That waveform wanted to take a nap, it was tired.

I couldn't listen to the track yet, but however, it sounds properly, right?[/quote]

That "lazy" waveform was showing up in Soundforge when I went to convert it to an mp3. It's the most bizarre thing I've ever seen! Although, I think I could hear something subtle in the low bass range, but obviously 0 hz would be undetectable! But for the time being, the track is to my liking and I hope everyone enjoys it and can marvel at it's graphic phenomenon! Thanks for the link and advice everyone!

Actually, if nobody minds, I'm going to pull the track for a day and try to fix it. I'll re-upload it soon. After reading about the subject, I think it might be from deep filter sweeps going into sub-bass, like my kick drum or a sweeper? What do you think? I guess you learn something new everyday! Thanks!

I experienced something similiar with TAL Dub II on send, but it was a very subtle amount of DC bias. Try isolating track by track... but with your DC bias, I suspect the problem could be in the master bus, so try bypassing all the plugs you have there.

I already told him in SoundCloud comments that it could be Tal Reverb. When there is a high amount of tail reverb that happens sometimes with some soft synths.
I remember of that when i was using Tal Reverb 3, which still is a nice plate reverb.

Now i'm using FreeVerb3 STrev anyway.

Good luck

Ok, that definately sounds familiar. I've got two instances of TAL Reverb 3 used as submasters before my main stereo bus. I wanted a choice between a larger reverb mix and a more subtle one that I could send my tracks to. And, yes, the reverb tails are pretty long!

[V'ger]

Heh that's totally weird, and do tell us when you find what's causing it.

hi all
this is my 1st one synth challenge, although i'm a regular at the music cafe contest. i'm kind of a newb on soundcloud so i don't have that little soundcloud tune-in-a-box thingy to place, but it is on the contest drop. maybe next time. anyway

augur X 6
effects from ableton live: ping-pong delay, arpeggiator, mastering suite
other effects: kjerhus classic reverb, eq, master limiter.

I didn't think I'd be submitting anything this month, Augur didn't really appeal to me until I actually tried using it and then I realised it's actually pretty good! Worked fine for me in Cubase except some of the parameters could not be accessed/edited but otherwise we got on well enough

Doc Jon - The Long Journey Home


Unashamedly pure 80's style, laugh at those cheesy drum sounds, I hope you enjoy it

Host - Cubase 6.5
14 instances of Augur
Effects - Host EQ, Compression, Reverb, Delay, Autopan, Stereo Enhancer, Master Limiter and some Tape Saturation on the Master (Magneto - hope that's allowed)

Welcome, Nick.

Glad to see you here for first time Nick. I hope you will enjoy the OSC ambient, there are nice friends here, and people who help you to improve, synths, tricks, mastering tips, etc.

Have a good day, guys

[Pulse Width Modulation]

I fixed the DC offset problem and now I'm ready to submit my entry. (It was my mix going too far in the sub-bass. TAL Reverb 3 probably made it worse. There was probably a better way to fix it by replacing TAL Reverb 3 or directly fixing the DC offset, but I just used a roll-off EQ in the sub-bass and that worked.)

I'm going to get all spacey on you this month! And Augur was great for it! I loved creating the long, evolving vector pads. I really enjoyed the synth, and I might keep using the patches I developed for future work. Plus, it made a great introduction to vector synthesis. I'm going to tackle Korg Wavestation LE next!

Here's my track:

Pulse Width Modulation - Breaking the Bounds of Earth

-HOST PROGRAM: Cubase 6
-10 Instances of Augur
-EFFECTS USED
6 Instances of Cubase native EQ
IQ4Gui (dynamic EQ)
Modern Spacer (delay/reverb)
2 instances of Audiocation Compressor
Ferric TDS (simulated analog tape saturation/compressor)
TAL Reverb 3 (2 instances)

[adagiocm]

Very nice submission Paul!

I'm going to tackle Korg Wavestation LE next!

I purchased the Wavestation LE last month, and I think it is great. I find it much more interesting and rewarding than Augur, even though I liked Augur in the end more than I would have guessed

But it keeps saying that I need to re-register pretty much every time I use it. During the several weeks that I owned it I think I had to get 8-10 different registration codes from the Korg web site. It happened again today, and I just emailed Korg customer support about it. Any idea why this might be happening?

I don't have trouble with the registration, but man-o-man! They sure don't make licensing simple: You need to have an account on the website with a password, there's an order number, locking code, and then your key. It gets confusing! I know this is probably off-topic from the forum thread, so maybe it might be worth it to start a whole new thread on the subject!

[SuperNoise]

Does anybody know... is it possible to exchange the track in soundcloud instead to remove and add it again? I talk about standard free account.

I just want to update my track in OSC and want to do smoothly.
