Hey, long time no see I stopped doing music for a while because my job took me a lot of time, but the urge to produce some sound caught me lately and I made some new tracksā¦
The last one is freshly made from tonight (started this afternoon) with a kalimba a friend of mine offered to my daughterā¦ The style is pretty much triphop, but if you think itās anything else, feel free to tell
There are a lot of synths, but also my voice (for choirs), my violon, my guitarā¦ I enjoyed doing this track a lot, everything went fineā¦ Renoise is good at nursing my workflow
Howdy all, been awhile. The above link is a collection i made in renoise 2022 and let sit in my computer unmastered for a bit while I went on a credit card spree buying elektron gear n various other hardware. Ive come full circle and am missing renoise now :-]
The album is also on soundcloud and all the streaming services under ācaleb peinado music for esportsā if bandcamp gives u trouble. I dont want your money!!! Anyway hope yaāll enjoy. Made mostly by sampling hardware via renoise midi out. Td3, drumbrute impact, minilogue, dx21, mc101, and samples of course. The 2nd amd 3rd track are the only ones that arent my favorite. They are the stepchildren
BTW the Melda GuitarArchitect plugin i was talking about earlier turned out to be only a time limited demo, so i ended up spending 99$ or something like that for it. Then i found out that many of the effects used in the GuitarArchitect are also demos that if i want to use them i would have to buy all these separatelyā¦some comes in packs an such. They all have one thing in common, theyāre very expensive. Kinda bummer really, when i demoed the guitararchitect i thought i would get the whole thing as it was when i demoed it, but now a lot of presets are full of demos that adds noise every few seconds. The effects are very good though, so iāll probably end up buying some of them. I still think the GuitarArchitect is worth it compared to other similar plugins iāve tested in the past. They have probably all become better than back then, but compared to my Boss GT-001 multieffects/soundcard itās a no-brainer, this plugin sounds much better.
A 909 kick doesnāt have the same impact than a āmodern kickā? Whatās a āmodern kickā? I would say a classic kick has a perfect impact, especially if treated the right way. Personally I would push 200 Hz and 1000 Hz instead of 50 Hz to gain more punch and impact. 200 Hz for the impact and 1000 Hz for the punch. My kicks and basses are treated with a parallel fx track that pushes 200 Hz by BP filter and furthermore thereās an EQ pushing 1000 Hz in each kick/bass track. But everyone works a little different, right?

I see ācablesā and stuff. As long as it doesnāt end up like this itās ok I guess. But I couldnāt work this way. Props to you. The composition reminds me of the āThe Last Ninjaā OST because of these āpluckyā high synths, especially in the first 2 minutes.
Exactly, the power of the original 909 gives you goose bumps, it has next level impact, hits allot harder than the new Roland versions which yes can sound more punchy and clean but lack the massive impact of an original 909, add some effects also, and jesus. But its proper for Techno.
I havenāt heard an original unprocessed 909 in over 15 years, sheesh time flies. But straight out of the machine it has always left me underwhelmed. The RD-9 sounds similar to my ears. Once it has gotten a bit of (tape) compression the 909 becomes the stuff of legends.
Youāre probably right, but at the same time, that 200 Hz region is exactly the part that I donāt like about the 909 kick. Never have. To my ears that sounds a bit woody/cardboardy to me.
Since you asked, a āmodern kickā as I would define it has a lot more bottom end, a lot more weight. Closer to an 808 kick but with the impact of a treated 909 minus the 200 Hz region. Tight & punchy
Anyway, thank you for listening & commenting @TNT - I always appreciate it.
No, thatās another thing where we work a little differently. I love the cable jungle of Richard Devineās modular. The more cables, the better, Iād say.
Are you talking about the Roland VSTs when youāre talking about ānew Roland versionsā? Personally I donāt think it matters if VST, hardware or sample as long as it keeps the original sound. The difference between the hardware and VST is minimal, more than subtle. And a sample can sound 100% like the hardware. Furthermore you can manipulate the sound the way you like it. But the foundation has to be great, no doubt.
You can make almost every kick there is tight and punchy.
In my experience lower low ends donāt improve the impact, instead thereās a good probability of rumbling without punch, In contrast the 200 Hz section, which is the top end of low ends, is perfect for that matter imo. But Iām not omnicient, so if one has a specific method of how to treat kicks to gain more power, Iām always interested.
Check 2:44. He can barely move the knob. Besides of that I wonder how he keeps the overview. Thereās nothing worse than tangled cables, right?
