Re: Golf ball on the lake

That only happens when it freezes so that the ice is under tension, as far as I'm aware though. I know that most lakes in Finland don't do that.

Re: choir/chorus sounds

Tonehammer Requiem is another alternative, if you want to go sample-based. That doesn't allow you to duplicate vocals for background, though.

No it doesn't. It doesn't even sound great before you crank it.

Re: Anyone producing on a touchscreen?

If I could afford a proper touchscreen, I might. I think there's been some talk about using Wacom's CintiQ touch as a controller.

Re: Korg's new Volca series - linkable $150 grooveboxes

Dear Roland: What the fuck have you done lately? Jeez. The whole series is more than a little reminiscent of the 303 and similar Roland designs. While Roland ponders whether or not to re-release the 303, these guys are gonna sell a fucking shitload of these units IMO. They are too busy making them ...

Re: The Reese Bass Thread

So i have made a few reese basses but i'm struggling to recreate something like this one. I have massive and camel phat if that helps. It sounds like it's done by someone who knows what they are doing, so by that token, it's unlikely DSF will ever come close. Or then someone figures to add chorus o...

Re: Production Forum - small idea...

Use brackets to distinguish tags, and tell people to add the tag in the beginning, for ease of use. Also make sure plugins are not capitalized, but DAWs are. [FLS] Why da fug mah plugins no wrok?

I'm pretty certain you can do that in Ableton, too. Ableton just fails at the curved automation stuff, though.

Re: Why Is It So Hard for New Musical Instruments to Catch O

The turntable, invented 36 years ago, ranks as the most recently created music-making device with staying power. Phonographs were invented in somewhere like 1870. 1930 already had quite good quality gramophones, too. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/be/Portable_78_rpm_record_player.j...

Re: Mastering - using multiple limiters

Generally it's considered better or more transparent to have many plugins adding a small amount of compression, rather than relying on one to add a large amount of compression. This. A lot of limiters start creating audible artifacts when they're pushed too hard. Using multiple different tools doin...

Re: The Official Growl Bass Thread

What I like about this is the amount of control you have on that worbliness. Some multiband dynamics and an imageline vocoder set to pitch the output all the way down also helps. You can also link the macro to detune amount on the voices tab, and then put polyphony to two. I usually do that, and th...

Especially this. When you're playing chords, and spanning the synth patch over multiple octaves, you don't need that many harmonics. Indeed, shapes such as squares and saws get really obnoxious at that point.

Re: Useful free applications

Look into Mammut and Sonic Visualizer, too. First one is a standalone FFT "effect", and the second one is really good for trying to dissect a piece of music.

Re: That "bandwagon" glitch/neuro type of bass

>Reese bass thread. True. However now that we have a sub forum specifically dedicated to sound design, i thought making a separate thread for a kind of sound made sense. My bad if it doesnt. Searching through that one could also be helpful. I'm pretty sure you're not the first one to ask this. ;-)
