Re: Filter sweep causes pitch bend...?
Ohhhhh... That could be it. I mean, I still think my time constant theory is valid, but the thing you're talking about (called Steven's rule, I'm told) could definitely contribute.

Re: Filter sweep causes pitch bend...?
Resonance possibly?
yeah if the resonance is turned up high it can sound like the pitch is changing when altering the cutoff frequency
It's not resonance - the filter on that patch was at maybe 20% resonance, hardly enough to give that 'tcheeeeooooow' filter sweep sound.

Re: Filter sweep causes pitch bend...?
Sweet. If it truly is natural behaviour for analogue filters, it would make sense that the Micron's modelled analogue filters would attempt to recreate that behaviour.

Filter sweep causes pitch bend...?
I played my friend's Alesis Micron for a while. I had this bright sawtooth bass lead patch and I had one fader set to lower the filter frequency.
At one point, I noticed that if I used the fader to do a manual 'wobble', the pitch of the synth patch would appear to fluctuate ever so slightly in time ...

Re: birthday: NI komplete or apogee duet 2?
I disagree completely with the notion that a Duet 2 is 'as good' as a $100 built-into-a-mic Samson interface. And not just for recording. Having good DACs is crucial for accurate monitoring. Apogee makes some of the best. Having an interface that good will improve the OP's synthesis and mixing, but ...

Re: Multi-layered basses
This is just my approach and I'm hardly a dubstep god, but it works for me. The trick is to make one patch, not three. In Reason, I'll use one instance of Thor. One osc is an octave-down sine, the others are maybe detuned squares or saws, or maybe even octaved ones. Everything goes through both ...

Re: birthday: NI komplete or apogee duet 2?
Super tough choice, but I'd go for the Duet if you're serious about your music. Even if you're mixing a jazz band, the Duet's high-quality DAC will still be useful. It'll make you a better producer/engineer in general. You can get free software that more or less rivals aspects of Komplete, but you ...

Re: Panning & dBs - general 'rules'?
You're being pedantic now though. The guy wasn't talking about audio he was talking about synths and it's beside the point which is that panning two subs instead of having one mono sub is a fucking stupid idea.
Oh shit, I didn't realise... Agreed it's retarded :P

(1) I can't see much misinformation in this thread? apart from the rubbish you just said XD

Re: Free Blofeld appreciation.
You just need 1.15. And documentation is very sparse but if you google 'blofeld 1.15 changes' there's a blog with the details. The biggest changes are the user tables (you have to get a third-party app to make and transfer these, it's floating around the web) and better syncing of LFOs to MIDI clock ...

Re: Panning & dBs - general 'rules'?
Soooo much misinformation...
Creating identical copies panned hard left & right is EXACTLY the same as one track centred. That's how stereo works. So no, it won't cause 'phasing issues'. You're just manually making it mono.
I disagree with the idea of 'normal' panning being boring. The Beatles ...

Re: Free Blofeld appreciation.
Lucky tit. I had to pay for mine. Get the 1.15 patch so you can make your own wavetables! And always use filter drive.

Re: Anyone into foley? (film sound)
Foley != film sound != field recording!
Foley is always done INSIDE a studio with a big screen and a crapload of junk.
Most foley studios use either a shotgun or just a generic cardioid condensor. And they don't record in stereo.

Re: Aliasing: What It Is & How To Conquer It
Looking at these graphs, can someone shed some light on quantization noise? I notice that flstudio 8 is relatively clean (and I mean relatively!) in terms of aliasing, but shows some signs of quantization noise. I'm pulling up heady papers, best so far is by Ethan Winer, but I really don't totally ...

Aliasing does my head in. It's my one proper bone to pick with digital dj'ing. I hate hate hate it when laptop/serato/traktor djs use the pitchlock function on anything with a solid sine sub (ie: every single one of my tunes), you can instantly hear the program of choice struggling to recreate the ...
