This guy is a gem. And this converter has been helpful for me getting out of the Kontakt ecosystem.

 

Tilr has been putting out a bunch of cool sequencer-type VST effects that are updates of his JSFX for Reaper.

Love that. Old school DJ looping, but in the box. :)

In Reaper, you can tab to transient, which might be helpful for cutting things in rhythm, since the downbeat usually has got a big transient.

Oh damn, this sounds rad.

Free Vital Synth Presets (arendleejessurun.gumroad.com)
 

Hey y'all, I've put together my first preset pack and wanted to share. :)

Vital is a free and open-source software synth available on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

In this free preset pack, you'll get 24 patches. There's a B3, a few quirky organs, some 808s and basses, and deliciously "analog" pads and leads.

The Wave Warden released Odin 2 in early 2020, and it quickly became a favorite of many soft-synth enthusiasts. Now, in version 2.4.0, Odin 2 looks better than ever. I know that appearance will never take priority over sound, but Odin 2 still sounds incredible, so a refreshed interface is all good news. One of

 

Great watch! Jeff Ellis has this thing he calls "mixer brain," when mixers are too concerned with sound and not at all with feel. This can result in a mixer brain death spiral, as he calls it, wherein a mixer inserts plugin after plugin in a chain, losing a grip on the song itself.

Sounds especially guitar-like on those chromatic runs. :) Well done!

 

For my fellow Reaper users. :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Same. Glad to learn these principles and apply them to digital audio nonetheless. :)

 

I found this video inspiring. Although I don't necessarily agree with every point, the overall premise of embracing imperfection and using unique gear is worth shouting from the rooftops.

Jk lol.

I'm not enough of a Radiohead fan to understand this.

Mao is a joke to me. The above quote (which is his) goes on to say, "In present circumstances, revisionism is more pernicious than dogmatism."

So...

Mao: Marxism is universally true. Also Mao: Dogmatic Marxism is bad. Also Mao: Anything post-Marxism is revisionism, which is also bad.

If you can get through it, read On Contradiction to see just how many back-flips he does to make Marx's "dialectical materialism" into something that is neither dialectical nor material but a metaphysical fact of our world and all human progress (as if that's not revisionism).

 

Some good news for all, especially Reaper users. Inflator, Phoenix, L2 clones and more in this sweet suite.

Yes, Brandi has got a lovely vibrato!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah the sibilance is right. I believe it has to do with the large coil which sound has to move when using a dynamic.

 

I found this a cool commentary on whether or not sound design matters in electronic music.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah that would work well if I were precise enough to know when to automate the click in and out. If I'm playing free-tempo, I won't really know when that click should begin.

 

I'd love to discover a way to record a continuous performance (no cuts/overdubs) that starts without click and then continues to a click in the middle of the piece.

An external metronome could be triggered by foot pedal, for instance. But could it be done all within the DAW? Has someone devised a Reaper script for such a thing?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I've never tried this! That sounds like pure vibes.

I'd imagine nostalgia is a big factor.

But otherwise, low-pass-filtered stuff generally sounds less exciting. You can read about pink noise and Brownian noise, for example, which more closely resemble natural phenomena like wind or rain from inside a shelter. Pink noise is white noise which decreases 3dB in volume each octave; Brownian noise, -6dB/oct. It were as if you put such a low-pass filter on white noise. So music that shares a similar frequency profile is relaxing.
