An old original set to a beat for the first time. Was looking for a patch for the soft sound, and it was just EQ2> Ultrawave clean compressed> Collider Shimmer> Room> Lunar 4 Stage Phaser with perhaps a touch too much resonance. The drum loop is yet another EDM/Indian drum loop in Studio One.

Naomi's Garden

Fraternal twins born minutes apart, the second twin, No Hesitation, recorded first, after a first take of Momentary Reticence was purposefully erased, then re-worked. Was reticent about adding the acoustic guitar tracks to Momentary Reticence, but said reticence was only momentary.
9/6/21 updated with siren effect.

Momentary Reticence

Wanted to dive back into the Ultrawave, especially the tremolo with some thick distortion. Also, used the opportunity to create an acoustic-specific Tron preset for the Spectrum.

Serpentine Escape

Old Pirates

Glancing Blow

Another track using the #SourceAudio #UltraWave and #Collider to create synthy swells and pads instead of #C4 for an ambient foundation with bass. Cocked Wah sound is from envelope on lead guitar generated by UltraWave, some light Flanging from #Lunar as well.

Ethereal World

The big cello/double bass sound is thanks to @GazzaJagman 's awesome GMC Mastotron patch on the UltraWave, going into a Swelled E-Dome for the deep cello sound. SA's own Light Octave factory preset made the flute to trumpet-like sound by throwing a Mu-Tron on it from the Spectrum. I have remixed it to more prominently feature the cello/double bass sound and flute/horn-like sound as an intro.

A Lydian Fantasie

Last of the UltraWave-focused project showcasing distortions, synthy sounds, multiband tremoloes, and mixtures of all those utilizing the Source Audio UltraWave as the primary sound making device. No C4, no AfterShock were used. Some Spectrum Envelope Filter, Lunar Phaser and Flanging, and Chorus, as well as lots of use of the Collider, and the wonderful Atlas Compressor.

Major Minor Mixup

After much battling with the software and bouncing this new Dolby Atmos mix without unintended distortion, it finally worked. The delay on the envelope filter guitar track creates some nice movement in the Atmos mix. A nice spooky feel for the season.

Wolves Are Runnin' 'Round Atmos

Sounds Like A Plan Atmos

Not Quite Spain Atmos

Remixed with new drum loop. Was similar to original, but different enough to like how they sounded together mixed left and right. Remixing in Dolby Atmos provided a good excuse to try that.

Rocky Shores Atmos

Dolby Atmos Remix of one from almost exactly two years ago.

Lynchpin Pts I & II Atmos

The Pink Room

Testing out the new Source Audio Zio Preamp and Bass DI. DI's XLR Out provides dry bass in center, while left and right channels are into EQ2 with standard bass EQ> UltraWave clean compressor> Atlas with LA2A> Collider with MM Shine On preset using OilCan Delay and Shimmer Reverb. Zio had Scoop engaged, output at 8 o'clock, Bass at 1, Treble at 11, Focus at 11, Grit off.

Naomi's Zio Test

Doing more testing of the ZIO Bas Preamp and DI from Source Audio. Bring Down the Birds is a loop sent into the ZIO first disengaged, then engaged without Scoop, then Scoop added, then envelope filter added, then some room reverb, then the Grit engages about 1:10, disengaged and then turning Bass, Focus, and Treble knobs to taste. Output at 8 o'clock. Martian Monster uses a scene I created with UltraWave providing distortion> Spectrum 2 Pole Low Pass Filter> 3 Stage Phaser> a Large Plate> Small Hall Cascaded Reverb.

Martian Monster Zio 1 - 18 - 24

Uploaded this track with the Martian Monster test, ahd to pitch it down a half step; anyway this track uses a loop of Bring Down the Birds to go Zio unengaged, adding envelope filter and phaser and Room Reverb, Zio engaged without Scoop, added Scoop, Engaged Grit (gets really overdriven), disengaged Grit and started turning knobs to taste as the loop continued.

Bring Down The Birds Zio

My take on those 5 notes from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. This was my first time making a synth based track back in January 2011.

Close Encounters

Ibanez SR505> EHX Battalion> Source Audio Multiwave Bass Distortion Pro (clean)> SA C4 Synth (RunLikeHell preset)> SA Dimension Reverb> EHX Ocean's 11> EHX Canyon> GK MB115II

Chernobyl

C4 Chameleon intro and Chameleon Horn patches

Chameleon

Demo of a preset patch for a Source Audio Collider Delay + Reverb, Set the Controls, and a Source Audio C4 Synth pedal patch, Heart Of the Sun.

Set the Controls Collider + C4

A scene created with the Ultrawave, C4, and Collider for a big fat funky synth sound a la Mike Gordon on Phish's Martian Monster.

Martian Monster UW 2-23-21

Some would say a mad scientist conducting musical experiments, typically with a bass guitar and insane effects pedals. That's pretty fair.
