a little experiment to prove a point to myself


stopping after this one

using Ae sys, just tapped something out. and to me, sounds freakin cool. RESULT: I do NOT know how to shape sounds and get them to sit well with one another. this is straight out the box and sounds better to me than any shit I try to mix and fix with the garbage sounds I make. :disappointed: :rage:

current sound that in fact DID come from my gear, but not my sounds

the question I have to add is: HTF do you get yer head into sound creation. cuz I listen to the sounds for each track on their own, and I dont think those would be sounds I would ever think could be something good. yet all together, they sound sick. do I have no foresight? baffled/disappointed

The two main ingredients are Ephemere from InearDisplay and Ruina from Noise Engineering. Ephereme is a percussion synthesizer based on frequency modulation and it’s awesome: Ephemere - Inear Display It sounds like a Perkons in your DAW.

Ruina is a brutal distortion unit from, and it’s free: Reason Freequel Bundle: Ruina, Sinc Vereor, Virt Vereor Rack Extensions | Noise Engineering

I think they make a great pair.

Interesting topic about sound design.

Grass is always greener on the other side?

Either I spend a stupid amount of time designing one sound then trying to pair it with others, realising I might be better off with a more holistic approach or I go through older sounds I’ve saved and not used yet. Sometimes I’ve tried using just any sound just to write something down and then tried to design a sound to replace it, but this almost never worked well for me.

Maybe focus more on mixing sounds at first, then write?

I find this whole getting a good mix easier on some devices, like the Digitone, would like to hear if I’m the only one.

That’s also the beauty of it init?

Obviously who am I to say but judging from your posts, maybe too hard on yourself.

Yeah, I wanna buy this.
When can we, @NeonMelk?

This one ?

I was thinking of your ongoing jazz project :grinning:
But patience is a virtue. You’re still sketching the whole thing out, I gather.

I have quite a few tracks in ā€œPhase 1ā€ but this kind of project need full exclusive work time for me.
Problem is that time is not on my side these days so it may take a while.

But in the meantime, if you really want some of my stuff in this genre, i can point you to my Bandcamp where you can find the first ep of the same ā€œBandā€.

It’s a ā€œfinished productā€ vs the sketches i’ve posted here.
It’s a tad bit different in the mood… and a different expended formation

In all cases, thanks for the support/Interest !

Digitone plinks and ploinks with a little OT drummage. One of those sessions where the initial idea has completely evaporated.
