Re: Softube Console 1 MK III

I had a feeling a new version was around the corner. Softube had a lot of Console 1 channel strip sales over the last year. I won't be upgrading my C1 MkII anytime soon but the new one does look too have some nice features.

Re: (Melodic Ambient) - Moonstone

This was my favorite of the four tidbits you recently posted. The overall ambience and mysteriousness of the track is really well done. What'd you use for that noise that I have no idea how to explain other than some kind of burst/scraping sound. No clue what it is but really like it.

Re: One for the guitarists

small budgets can be great. I remember when I first was daydreaming of getting a guitar...I had ZERO idea what made an instrument good. I was 'window shopping' from a JC Penney or Sears catalog or something--back when they used to send you these enormous phone-book-thick print catalogs. yes, they d...

Re: One for the guitarists

Like others have said, don't get caught up in plugin shopping and instead keep the focus on playing, learning the instrument and having fun. The plugin world is beyond saturated with options ranging from free to overpriced. Pick one that inspires you and/or produces the general sound you like. Don't...

Re: [Wave / Chill] Nexus

I was waiting for some guitars to make an appearance. Even without them, very nice work. The use of space is well done to create interesting rhythms and transitions. I like it.

Re: Work in progress material / Test bits

I really like the 1st and 3rd ideas. There's already some really interesting ideas going on with plenty of room to turn them into songs. The wide variety probably works in your favor. Run out of ideas where to go with idea 1? Jump to idea 2 or 3.

This is really good. Great riffs. The song's got both interesting rhythms and ambience. I really like the tones and sound selection for everything. Every instrument sound great. Song writing wise I wouldn't change a thing. I do feel like the heavy riffing guitars overpower the rest of the music a b...

(Heavy/Crusty) Variable

Music has been on a bit of a backburner for me lately due to time going way too fast. Plus, I've been in a bit of a writing slump. Over the weekend, a random idea came to mind that I took a stab at. I was surprisingly productive and able to write, record and mix the whole thing in a few days. Everyt...

Re: (8 year old Tritone) - Pump Up

That's a solid effort for only having been 8. It's also pretty cool that you still have something tangible from that period of time to go back to. What was your next move for electronic music from there? The closest thing I had to making electronic music at a younger age was MTV Music Generator on t...

Re: How many delay pedals does a guitarist need?

I do actually think that's the one to get. I've got a couple and was waiting on Joe at JDM to finish an analogue delay he's working on but that Boss looks like a cracker. I just recently (like a week ago) got over my irrational dislike of Boss pedals when I got my DC-2w. That said, I'm not sure you...

Re: (Ambient/ObjektChallenge) Wanderers

Beautiful track indeed. To my ear it had hints of Vangelis, Glass, Kanno, Badalamenti and a bit of Yared, also. It really brings you to a journey. Buildup is magnificent and the orchestration of the various voices is optimal. Can't speak about the production bc I am on a commute and hearing it on e...

Re: [Soundtrack] Neelam Palace (100% Objekt track)

It's really interesting hearing how different all of the Objekt songs are. Sounds like you were very creative with the patches you made. There's so many good stock presets that I've yet to even attempt creating or modifying my own. Really nice work with the chords, too. Great song and entry for the ...

(Ambient/ObjektChallenge) Wanderers

Here's the tune I wrote for the Objekt Challenge. This is multiple instances of Objekt. I wasn't 100% sure what to expect of this RE but it surely delivers. I usually come up with several ideas and spend way too much time on them before I decide to scrap them to move on to something else. That didn'...

Does that mean it is just GAS? 😂 Caught me red handed. Guess I can't buy more physical amps to add to the several that have been sitting in storage.

Re: Summer Bash Sale (slowly emerging)

With Rev700MKII and the bit amount of distortion units alone in Reason you can create interesting tones. And then there are a bunhc of additional Re in the shop, even for free. And than combine this with EQing and Mid/Side processing. Yea, maybe it is not exactly the tone of fender bla bla, but you...

There's a lot of interesting elements to this song. I like the almost western-y melodic lines. It paints a picture of a bug on a journey through a foreign land. Really nice work!

Re: Summer Bash Sale (slowly emerging)

I wanted to like the Kuassa amps but they didn't really mesh with me. It'd be cool to see more amp sims in the RE format since there's a large void. The Softube RE amp sims are forgettable which is a shame because their VST amp sims are really good.

Re: [IDM/Experimental] Chizmata - Inside the Backdrop (Parsec Album)

Only had a chance to listen to Terminus, so far. Parsec and Complex-1 are a really fun duo, especially for their more abstract and atmospheric sounds like you have going on. Parsec is very user friendly while Complex-1 is a little more hands on. Did you create your own patches for these? I'd be inte...

Glad I was able to listen to this before you take it down. Your stuff always seems to disappear into a blackhole to never be heard again which is a shame. This song is really cool. Objekt is pretty solid for melodic elements and then you ramped it up once the more percussive elements hit. Really cre...

Re: Objekt song challenge

I haven't trialed Objekt yet so this gives me another reason to give it a spin. The rules are somewhat vague. When they say, "use Objekt as the ONLY instrument." does that mean only one instance of Objekt or the only RE to be used is Objekt with however many instances? Same question for effects... I...

Re: any guitar players that can help? DI recording issue

You'll have to turn off the monitor button on the Apollo. Focusrite interfaces have the same thing. When 'direct monitor' is on you'll hear the DI signal plus any processing you're doing within the DAW. Set it to 'off' and you'll only hear the processing within the DAW.

Really interested to give this a go once it's released. I don't mind the look of it since it gets away from the endless sea of flat, cyberwave-y GUIs.
