I'll start my own competition, with soundtracks. And unlimited oscillators.

I think you mean best idea? It would be fun to score Metropolis. It just makes me laugh because it was a very huge long standing go-nowhere project on WATMM. Nick Cage sample pack it is!

Here's your sample: http://www.mediafire.com/listen/ru53bsbl2bcaosg/bonerwithacapitalo.wav Now figure out which freeware wave editor and tracker program are to be the officially sanctioned ones. Sizone fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Feb 2, 2015 |

Wait, why are we reducing this to a sanctioned tracker/wave editor? I mean the sample pack thing is fun and makes for funny results which is what I thought was the point of all this compilations? It's not like we're seriously trying to have a competition here.

The Nick Cage idea was just an idea to do something similar with a different actor or funny thing. It would be weird to do it since it was done (at least for me) already. http://empradio.bandcamp.com/ I really dig the silent film scoring though. Jeff Mills has been doing that recently and the idea is very cool. Bonus points if its some old school sci-fi stuff. Alternatively, find dash-cam footage and score that. I've seen that done with train videos and dj mixes way back when and it was also cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vBD9snz20o

How hard should one be allowed to go to work on that sample? Sticking to basic cut&paste like a tracker limitation, no effects?

That way the album artwork can be those three things and his face arranged in a three wolf moon shirt fashion. Also, I have two more weeks of work bullshit that's eating up all my time so I will definitely get in on this one.

Yeah, I think my two target videos for audio samples would be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzVxkY6N7c0 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P8-WboRLVw given the lack of usual NAMM noise in the background but if there's any definitive video for the Rhythm Wolf or others that'd be cool. I'm guessing for myself this will be the chance to get better acquainted with Live's sampling and instrument tools because I have nothing in hardware for this and really, I've been meaning to learn how to use those tools. What better way to practice with stuff that you can only improve on in sound, right?

I just picked up a Korg MS2000B for very cheap, one of the reasons being that the AC adapter jack is very intermittent. I'm actually having the same issue with my Electribe EM-1, so I figure now would be a good time to tackle both. They only power up if I apply pressure to the plug in a certain direction (mostly up in both cases). I guess no previous owner felt the need to use the little cable loop that's molded into the plastic next to each jack. From looking at the board it seems they just soldered the jack to it, would the best course of action be just to reheat the solder and hope the connection improves?

Yay: my Microbrute came in! Booo: B&H shipped me a box in pretty bad shape. The actual SHIPPING box from B&H was in pristine condition... so it left the warehouse this way:   That's one end of it crumpled in like drat car crumple zone and ripped up really bad and completely taped back together haphazardly. It looks clearly to be used or an open box or something. Or got badly damaged in the warehouse and somebody thought just slapping some tape on it was acceptable. Ugh so now i have to decide whether to just return it or go with it. I don't wanna wait any longer . Contacted B&H...hopefully they'll send me a replacement asap.

Don't want to find out three months down the road that the oscillator drifts and is untunable because it fell off the top of a stack in the warehouse or something.

Wow, getting overwhelmed by the Ultranova. It's my first "Big" digital synth, and beyond trying out stock and downloadable packages I really haven't gotten a start. I've tried some menu diving, and messing around with the VSTi editor a bit. I can't really decide which is less annoying yet. I guess I should try to build a base patch or see if the "init" patches are stripped down enough to start from.

TRY REPLACING THE WALL-WART FIRST BEFORE YOU GO FIDDLING AROUND WITH YOUR SYNTH'S INSIDES. Else, it is as Mr. Glass says, much more likely to be the jack than the jack's joints.

I had the MS2000r and it did the same thing, slightest move/bump would make it power cycle. I assumed the jack or pcb was damaged.

AxeBreaker posted:I guess I should try to build a base patch or see if the "init" patches are stripped down enough to start from. Yeah, make a base patch with 1 saw oscillator, to one low pass filter, no effects. There's already enough in the oscillator section (particularly the self synch and wavetables) to make lots of good noise. When you've really gone through everything you're allowed to have two. Rare that you would ever need all three. It's a wonderful machine, it's a bit like a child of the Blofeld and a AN1x. Use the VST, it helps see where it all links up.

This Timber Wolf sample idea sounds fantastic. What's the best/easiest way to pull samples from youtube for plebeians like myself that are stuck in the Windows world? I wrestled with Jack once but was never able to figure that poo poo out..... I'm use Bitwig for my DAW if that matters.

Hard to blame them when people "rent" gear or go through a bunch of lenses to find a nut sample of one.

Install VBCable for your virtual sound card needs. Also Jack appears not to work right until you figure out the patchbay. The maddening thing is the Connect window seems like it's the same as the patchbay, but it only contains madness (at least with Sonar). Basically you build your config in patchbay, save it, activate it and jack makes the connections when it detects that the actual i/o devices match up to what is saved. The failure of the connect window is that it forgets connections when they go silent. For example Sonar deactivates all devices when not playing or recording, so it doesn't even show up in the connect window until it's too late. So any connections you make while it's playing are forgotten when it stops. You have to play something, then capture the connections in the patchbay so they can be activated at the next play time.

I'm coming up with this from memory, so apologies if it's kind of confusing, but I think if you change the audio driver in the dropdown menu near the record function on Audacity's toolbar, you should be able to change it to WASAPI driver. Do that, then there should be a "loop thru" as an option under the source. This worked for me, though I had to manually go into my integrated sound card settings and enable the stereo mix as a source, even though I don't actually use the integrated card at all. Worth a try, and much less clunky than any of the virtual card solutions that exist for Windows. EDIT: Here's a description of what I was talking about, starting at the bolded sentence a few lines into it.
