Rupert Buttermilk posted:Would anyone be interested in a sampling challenge? I'm just spitballing, but it could be like someone (me?) selects 4 samples from freesound.org (with Creative Commons license 0, meaning they're essentially public domain, freeing us from getting tied up in any legalities), and then we each have a few days to a week to either create a new instrument or sound effect from them. So you could end up with a really crazy soundscape preset, a synth lead, or maybe even a one-shot. I'd give this a shot for sure

Well, good to know we have at least a few participants. I'll write up a post either tonight or tomorrow. On the topic of samplers and sample manipulation, what are all of your go-to plugins for that kind of thing? I'm loving Iris 2 right now.

Samplr (It’s actually a key component of my bonerjamz track)

I'm a fan of Groove Agent of all things for sample handling. I love Kontakt as a library/tweaky preset machine but if I'm actually doing stuff then Groove Agent is my go to. Its a shame the sampler tracks in Cubase aren't quite as fully featured as they're obviously better for note based stuff, but GA is like a little MPC

I've got a jams track at about 80% right now, assuming you're fine with a submission that completely ignores the oldest / newest portion of the challenge. I started writing it on a flight and so it's all softsynths, and I don't want to re-track with other equipment because

I've got a bassline and drums I'm pretty okay with. That's traditionally where my tracks stall, so we're not out of the woods yet.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Well, good to know we have at least a few participants. I'll write up a post either tonight or tomorrow. I'm using Ableton's Simpler + Push2 and have found it to be pretty incredible for chopping and playing back sample patterns. Sometimes I do wish I had a vintage sampler like an MPC because they definitely impart a "sound" to the samples that I enjoy. But for now this combination works really well. Trig Discipline posted:I started something like this in ML a while ago but then I and everyone else basically abandoned it. I'd be down. Honestly I got overwhelmed by the massive amount of samples that were available. I did end up using some of them in other tracks I made later though. I think it would help to have something a little more narrow in scope.

I'm down for sampling challenge, but could we wait until bonerjamz submissions are over?  That's March 31, by the way.HandlingByJebus posted:I've got a jams track at about 80% right now, assuming you're fine with a submission that completely ignores the oldest / newest portion of the challenge.

So Math said it's cool if I submit my thing so I'ma do that. I did use some of my oldest software synths (Arturia) and some of my newest gear (Seaboard Rise) for it, so I reckon it fits well enough. I may slap it around a few times between now and the weekend to see if anything shakes loose though.

 VIDEO SONG My newest gear is the OP-Z. For the oldest, I was going to use the Waldorf Q, but it's in storage and I'm too lazy to get it. The oldest thing in my actual home is the original NI Maschine, but that requires installing a bunch of questionable software that's ridiculously annoying to uninstall. So, the next oldest is the OP-1 (I can't believe I've had it for 7 years). Yup, it's the OP-Z and the OP-1. Please look forward to my Patreon, I guess??? The video is made with TE's videolab poo poo in Unity, running in the OP-Z Mac app. The character in it is off-brand Pac Man:  Am I leaving anything out? Thanks for organizing this, So Math.

Okay here's me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gozKOS-_k5w And the audio track: https://soundcloud.com/danwarren/sail-or-anchor Oldest bit of gear was some Arturia synths and the newest was my Seaboard Rise. Video clips were just some random nonsense from Segundo de Chomón shorts.

Thanks! I've got about halfway through turning it into an 8 song concept EP about people's consciousnesses being brought back from the dead by robots in the future and used to pilot starships, but I've sort of run out of steam. I'm sure I'll finish it eventually - I tend to do that with projects.

As an aside, I briefly went through your posts from this thread (and obviously missed any previously posted instance of that song, but that's what I was looking for) and saw when you posted that Iris 2 was $29, and.... goddammit, I'm so mad at myself for not getting it then EDIT: Anyone willing to do a license transfer? I'd pay.

Here's what I learned from the Deluge so far. 1) sound design is Hard. 2) making something that sounds pretty good for 15 seconds is Doable. 3) making something that sounds good for 4+ minutes is Hard.
