That was the type to go.
Thanks for listening! i would reccomend getting one with mici CC, it allows the computer to turn the knobs for you so you can automate parameters just like you might with renoise effects. The minilogue/monologue and bass station 2 have it forsure. im sure most modern synths do.
Thanks for the tip, i am between minilogue and the bass station 2. Which one you recommend ?
if you want to be able to play chords, go with the minilogue. however the bass station 2 has some very cool tricks up its sleeve [afx mode lets you make each key a different patch, allowing you to make drum kits, etc]
I’ve been popping the odd thing up on Soundcloud recently, mix of Renoise and Reaper
Remix time!
My favorite cracktune:
My remix:
The video:
You can download this track soon (probably in a couple of days) right here, of course for free.
It feels more like a remake to me but you nailed it!!
Not my kind of a track but you did a great job on it.Who is the singer?
Thanks, the singer is Alley Parton from a Ghosthack vocal sample pack. I actually made the track first and then when I bought the pack, I noticed the vocals from the first folder I opened were in the same key fit the track without any changes besides a slight bpm change.
The two synthwave tracks on the channel are also made in renoise
Thanks, I’m also happy about it. But isn’t a remix always some kind of a remake?
I consider a remix is something that is mostly based at the original but with a few elements added and more upbeat.A remake for me is the same track with different sounds and a new vocalist if it is a song with vocals but that is a matter of opinions its just my point of view
A remake is an exact recreation of a song, maybe with different instruments and maybe in a higher quality, but every single note, every sequence, every section, the whole song is exactly like in the original. A remix is a different take on a song, it could be a completely different style with variations in notes, different sequences and a different song concept, but it keeps the main part of the original. What you consider to be a remake is officially called a cover.
nice work!
This is a nice remix, though somehow to my ears it does not reach your usual mixing quality. I think because the fundamentals of some sounds are weak? Did not check on analyzer. I wish I could try to (re-)mix your track. Well, it is actually easy to judge from outside, if you are not involved, since you are not that biased and have no clue hehe. Please don’t get me wrong, it’s surely one of the best remixes I heard on remix kwed. If you only would attenuate the fundamental a bit more.
I think it sounds not that good like usually to your ears because there are many “chiptune like instruments” involved, which are on a higher frequency scale. It’s not that easy bringing them all together without destroying the sound balance. This time I mixed it on 3 evenings, usually I mix my songs within 2 evenings (note: a mixing evening takes about 1-2 hours, from 20 to 22 o’clock max - I have neighbors). Furthermore I also integrated my first studio monitors of my life in the mixing process for the first time, even though my reference are still the Hi-Fi speakers. But if you switch to mono you can hear everything, so the balance should be ok. At least to my ears. What do you think should be changed? By the way, the song isn’t on remix.kwed yet, it’s still in the queue. It will be released next time, I guess in a couple of days.
@slujr
Thank you, sir!
Your mix surely is well balanced as usual, yet it can be balanced in many ways, energy wise. I think here you actually could attenuate the fundamental a bit, so giving a bit more of resonance to the highpass filters you used. To every single track of the song. Though who am I to judge, just telling you my very subjective impression. Or maybe to any track with fundamental below 1 kHz.
Maybe you’re right. I don’t think it would have a big impact on that song, but the background sound may get slightly “fuller” (and the mids even stronger ). I will bear that in mind for the next similar song. Thanks for the hint. I just wouldn’t do it in every single track, I don’t think the mix would benefit from it. But surely all flat “chiptune like sounds” could benefit from it.
You wanna know? I think that I can tell who you are. You are a techie as well as a good musician and you’re doing this for years now, so of course your opinion is worth something and I will check. I mean, who am I? I’m just a guy with knowledge about electronic music because I’m listening to it since ever and started in my early ages making music myself. But I’m not a techie and I’m less interested in measuring sounds and more interested in feeling sounds. You know what I mean? I want to keep everything as simple as possible and I don’t want to let creating music become a sort of science. That’s your field of expertise, right?
Actually I only pay attention to the very most important rule in music creation:
→ If it sounds good, it sounds good.
But of course I use several basic mixing and mastering techniques and I always want to improve things as long as it’s no time consuming science which doesn’t change that much regarding to your sound. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.

Good mixing
Very very good mastering
