djbmc Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 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.

Captain Planet Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djbmc Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 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.

djbmc Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djbmc Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 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?
