Here we go again...

Posted by Karco - September 23rd, 2007


UPDATE 10-11-07: Well, the homework's cleared up now. However, both my inspiration and motivation to make music have completely vanished.

The reason why isn't meant to be shared on the internet.

I'll still be active here, but don't expect any new submissions in the near future. My next update will be when I've resumed making music.

UPDATE 10-9-07: ARGH. I've been swamped with homework waaaay too often these days. So I haven't been able to do very much at all lately regarding music. :\ I won't be able to do very much probably until the end of this week - maybe sooner, but no guarantees. To keep you all entertained until then, here's a demo of that acid song I was talking about in that last update. It's old, but not outdated, as I haven't worked on it in a while. Stay tuned...

Ironic that it took a week for me to update, right after I said "These updates are coming often, aren't they? :P," isn't it? ;D

--

UPDATE 10-2-07: Another small update. No music yet, but I'm telling you about what's coming up.

See, I just found the secret to making pwnsome Acid/303-type synths. >:) Or, one of them anyway. (I'm not telling anyone, by the way. ;D Maybe if you ask nicely and you're lucky I'll give you a hint. :P) And it would be something I've been looking for pretty much since I started making music, so it made my day. :P A demo of what I've come up with will be on my userpage either tomorrow or the day after that.

So what happened to Cycles? I've been taking a break from it lately, because of what is indeed lack of inspiration and motivation - I've become a bit bored of it unfortunately and don't know when I'll be returning to it. This 303 thing is my new main WIP. >:) (Comments on Cycles are still appreciated, though.)

That's about it for now. These updates are coming often, aren't they? :P

--

UPDATE 10-1-07: Just a small update. Homework's piling on a bit harder than usual and my inspiration's coming rather short so don't expect updates very often until I say otherwise. Sorry. But check by this page now and then anyway, you just might find something...

--

UPDATE 9-29-07: Now that we have the Edit and Remove functions, I've uploaded the latest version here. It's called "Cycles." I plan to update whenever I have a new version, whenever possible. Also note that I've updated the description I gave at the below link.

--

Another WIP! XD I figured I'd give Miracle's news post a little bit of time on the front of my userpage before I posted this, but it's had enough time and this needs the feedback. :P

I've done all my explaining here, and it's where the song's uploaded, too. It doesn't matter to me whether you comment here or there... :P

Thanks for your time! :)

Here we go again...


Comments

it's pretty nice, man. good work.

Thanks. :)

Making sharp acid leads/basses is pretty easy... take a saw wave or two (might want to do some phase offset stuff for awesomeness), put on a filter with very low cutoff and moderate to high resonance, add a few layers of compression and distortion, then boost the high end- for those sweeps. drag the cutoff frequency up and down or use the mod wheel

amirite?

at least that's how I do it

Ha, well, I haven't figured it out until now. XD I'll try that, though I'm not on my FL Studio computer. I'll update this response once I have. :P

Huh - it worked, kinda. I got something that sounded nothing like an acid synth, but I could see where you were going with that. :P

Oh and why you didn't get that result is probably because of the phase offset thing- it should work that way if you use a setting between two saw waves that produce a waveform like this; [<a href="http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q141/CrazyberryRock/Bilde5-2.png">http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q1 41/CrazyberryRock/Bilde5-2.png</a>]

Same case as before - I'm not at my FL computer right now but I'll give it a look once I am.

I finally got around to trying it out - and basically I just got something that barely resembled an acid synth. Good enough. :P
