Hi all together,
ready for next number: Rotation 18 finished ... puh, i hope i am not the last one.

I test various synth from CM Mag, but for me it seems that Dune CM or Zebra CM are the synth i would use.
Because i use Dune(BE) in Rotation 7 + 8 i will give Zebra CM a try.
This would be also my first time to play with formant filters ... and i have a lot of fun

BTW: the Zebra has a VERY low CPU-Usage

Songname: Rotation 18
Host: FL Studio 10.0.9
ZebraCM: 25 Instances

Insert FX:
IxoxDelay x 5, Lightweight Compressor x 2, Loudmax x 16
Fruity Parametrics Eq2 x 18, Fruity Compressor x 3
Fruity Filter x 1, Fruity Reverb 2 x 1, Fruity Stereo Enhancer x 1,
Soundgoodizer x 1

Master FX:
Fruity Parametrics Eq2
Fruity Compressor
Loudmax
(Fruity Spectroman)

Automation: yes, but a lot from the buildin Lfos
DR: 7

And last: all patches are done from scratch (with help from the "sound essentials" series in Computer Music Magazin from Scot Solida)

Enjoy the track and have fun

Mostly DuneCM. 19 tracks. Linplug 1 track...

I'm afraid this track won't qualify, you need to do ALL the sounds with one and the same synth/instrument.

All DuneCM in Live.

So you might make this your official entry (I quite like it as well).

No time the redo last night so I have to change my official entry. The track I submitted used 2 different synths. Here is my official entry:

https://soundcloud.com/hennessey/skeerm

- 14 Instances of Dune CM
- KR-Reverb
- Live with Compressor, EQ Eight, and Limiter

Thanks to crimsonwarlock for the heads up, sorry for the switch-er-roo.

[H-man]

Bombs away!

My submission for the OSC CM Special.

This track uses over 50 instances of Aalto CM and was created in Zynewave Podium

No other synths used
All sounds designed from scratch

FX are:

ANALOG87 CM-COMP
HoRNetFatFet
ANALOG87 CM-EQUA
DDMF IIEQPro
DDMF LP10
SatsonCM

Also Vladg/Sound Molot and Limit06 and W1 Limiter by BetaBugs

No CM or other reverb or delay effects (all Aalto)

https://soundcloud.com/hehirman/h-man-aalto-nator

I named it Aalto-Nator because the composition is pretty diverse ...you'll see

Good luck all. Looking forward to listening to all the entries.

I had almost no time time month to make a track, though I did make a quicky duby preview... not happy with it. So I'm starting over right now.

Some tips for people finishing today:
#1
Organize, organize, organize, organize... - Name all your tracks, color tracks by category (bass, percussion, lead, pads, fx), and move them into folders if possible

#2
Name all your midi parts according to the track name - so don't have any 'track 2 copy 3' stuff... it will get confusing

#3
Hide your automation parts until you need to see them since that will give you a nice overview - automation can quickly eat up DAW real estate.

#4
Save often, and always save to a new file - it takes like 5 seconds. Here's the rule:
1) Save after something happens that helps move the track forward
2) Save if you are experimenting and don't know if you like something - you can revert back to the old saved file
3) Save ESPECIALLY after you really like something

#5
Your saved files should be named for what you did aka - 'osc cm - Save 3a - Nice upper bass part layered'

Here's my entry. It's not finished, but there's no time, so decided to cut it almost in half and submit it anyways. A note about the mix: it can pretty much be atrocious, since I use an old home DVD player and its speaker for "monitoring".
