Renoise Songs
404

Well, I guess you’re more the technical type of guy and I’m a simple man. :slightly_smiling_face:
If it sounds good it sounds good, that’s the only rule I follow. Personally I don’t replicate songs, but if I would like to replicate a song, then I would need to get the original sounds first, after that I’d try to get some more informations like which compressor was used, and last but not least I would try to analyze the sound by ears first (you could adjust the details afterwards if necessary). With some informations you can train your ears, for example by using the vowel sound method to distinguish frequencies (for example 250 Hz sounds like “OO”, 4000 Hz like “EE” and so on). And when you’re somehow experienced and you know some “mixing tricks”, it’s possible to recognize those methods in the song that you’re listening to. And even for “surgical” stuff the ears are required, too, right?

Yes, but which version? Album version, 2000 remake, another one?

Have a happy new year! CU next year. :rocket:

Yeah I’ve been becoming better and better at for example recognizing the 3rd and 5th harmonic, the spectrum is just for reassurance hehe, the vowel trick is very useful

The 2000 remake! :milky_way:

Happy new year everyone

And thank you for making me switch all my plugins from AU to VST, I’ve had problems with some plugins in the past, and I think vst and vst3 are more stable, I thought it was the other way around lol, and I didn’t know I was breaking my project compatibility between systems.

406

Could you replace the Surge, Vital, etc instances with the VST3 versions? Presets can be transfered thru the synth’s preset systems.

407

Oh sorry I deleted my AUs :rofl: I’ll be starting from scratch anyway, it wasn’t too much, just a detuned (doubled octave or using the shape parameter in surge) for ld1 and the bass which was kinda honky and bad, def not finished presets

thanks

Started yesterday with this:

I think I will more or less leave it that way (needs a bit more variations) and focus on the mix.

after singing for what feels like (and probably was) hours, i am now stuck on drum programming :slight_smile:

I broke my negative record last year by finishing only 5 songs, so despite some hardware issues I should start early this year. And after months of not creating anything, how else should I begin than starting with what I like the most? So I’ve started to create a typical “TNT” Electro tune with my favorite kind of instrumentation:

In the end it’s about mathematics and octaves, right?

Absolutely, especially the second half.

Sounds great! How did you make the pad and the bass?

412

I need a break with this track… too often listened too it. Started another one today.

413

Thanks, but it’s just the beginning. Still a lot of work to do. The kick obviously needs some more saturation (to become audible on every system) and the layered kick it still too heavy (checked through laptop speakers). More synths are required, I’m thinking of higher ones, and one of them has to be airy. I’m always looking for airy synths (and I need to get and/or to create a lot more). The buildup could also change during the process.

There are 5 pads and 2 basses. Generally I’m mostly taking “right sounding” presets as base sounds, and then I change and adjust everything (waveform/s, filtering, sub, ADSR, modulation, effects and so on) to my needs. That’s how I got the pads and one bass in this one. The other bass was made from scratch in Phoscyon. I’ve also made all the background stuff and short synths from scratch. And the drums are samples, just as always.

thanks for your feedback !! :smiley:

417

Why are you lost? The track seems to be almost finished and the mix is already good. And it’s not too much. :wink:

418

Yay yay yay, I am drunk, that’s why I decided to do mixes, since it’s the best mind state to do mixes.

How is this sounding? Some ugly transients still spike into? I didn’t use headphones, maybe I should to find resonances?

You stopped smoking weed just to drink alcohol instead? Bad decision, very, very bad.

The open hat needs to be “low passed” and the bass could be a tad more intensive imo. :slightly_smiling_face:

422

I don’t know, I listened to it so much that I do not have an objective thought about it anymore haha
Thank you :smile:
