VIP2 Competition

[djbmc]

I was thinking, not so much a competition as collective learning process. We should all make a beat, using ONE synth, nothing else (apart from maybe effects). Everything from the bass to the drums needs to be made in it, and we all use the same synth (otherwise it aint fair coz someone could be using the Subtractor in reason and someone else could be on Omnisphere) also, it should be a freeware VST so it's available to those who don't have it yet.I think it would be good to A: Liven up the room,and B: ppl could share tips and tutorials on things like building hi-hats in a synth, we could all learn something and get out of the habit of using the same methods of production everytime we make a beat. Thoughts?

Down.EDIT: Good idea but I don't think restricting use to just one synth is as entertaining.Obv we can still learn how to manipulate the synthesizer..

[O.Man]

i would get involved just for the fun and also to learn some stuff

[Supernova]

I wud do this...if we was to use something in reaso

[Beavis]

[djbmc]

so some guys r only using reason? do u not have access to any vst hosts? The reason i suggest just one is because it'll help us all get a better knowledge of how synths work and how to program them. it would only really work if we were all using the same synth.

u have download AU plug-ins rather than VST, pretty much all VSTs are available in AU format

ok then, so wot synth? also, wot effects should we be allowed? i'm thinking whatever the synth comes with plus compression, eq, reverb? synth HAS to be a free one tho.

[Supernova]

OhSomething else we can do after thisGet a sample and U gotta some how use an element of the sample in a tuneu can sample the whole thingcut n slice it, re play and remix etcwould be good

Any other suggestions? i'm gonna go on a few other forums and ask which the best for this type of thing would be.

This.I know how to use other software and could download other software but just for the sake of this competition that seems long. Anybody on a Reason only thing speak up and lets get sh*t rolling. *no hijack

bump.

free synth then, i reckon Synth1. There's a fairly big userbase for it, so there'll be plenty of vids and written tutorials online.http://www.vstcafe.com/2009/02/synth1-by-ichiro-toda.htmlThere's a couple of links below on the page to presets for it as well. Also, i've realised that my (and probably others') comp probably won't b able to handle 20 different synths all running at once so we should probably make it ok to bounce stuff, so long as u ONLY use corrective effects rather than creative ones, if u then load the bounced samples into a smapler rather than using an audio track in ur DAW, wot do u lot reckon?

[VENOM]

i can enter this and win hands down.
