One Synth Challenge #180: Regency by nakst

KVR One Synth Challenge  OSC

Tal Bassline submission for OSC 65

DAW: Reaper (yee haw)

Once the MIDIs had been created for each track ... the workflow was thus:
Each track was built by programming the synth for the sounds I needed, then the FX were added to the track chain, and the synths tweeked. Once I was happy I froze the tracks WITHOUT the fx chain. Then I used Reapers drag to pull over each fx from the synth track to the rendered audio track (thus keeping all the settings). I did this twice for each track (hence the "28" instances of TAL). Then the pairs of tracks were panned and fx tweeked to taste.

Tal Bassline  --- 28  (all tracks doubled up and layered with different pan, verb and comp - depending on which fx are on which track!)

FX used ...


Classic Reverb  ---20
Epicverb --- 6
ReaComp --- 11
BootEQ Mk 2 - 1
Classic Limiter - 1

Ok - what is here now is a re-visited version. Now with  more layers with different EQ/verb/comp.

If the opinion is that this is not as good a mix/performance - please let me know and I can revert ...



DoctorBob - The Grass is Blue - TAL BassLine (OSC 65)

Enjoy another happy retro sound with classic smooth solo from DoctorBob

[Now at version 3, small bits of volume automation done]

[Now at version 4, extra soloing added before and after the main solo to brighten the sound and lift it a little out from the very dense soundscape]

[Aw heck. Now at Version 5. Better dynamics now I think, wall of sound still there, but overlaid solos now thinned out and EQ'd as well]

V6, rimshots down in the mix and the end fade is longer.

V7, lots more surgical EQ ... maybe this one breathes a little more.

DoctorBob - Service Manual - (ODsay OSC 66)

Entry for KVR OSC 67 using Digits Synth


DAW: REAPER

24 instances of Digits
16 * BootEQMk2
13 * Classic Compresser
6 * Limiter No. 6 (yeah, I joined the club!)
3 * ReaGate
12 * epicVerb
1 * Classic Reverb


Notes on the sound design:

All sounds programmed from scratch as follows.

The lead organ has 4 layers. One is a tuned percussion sound to give that classic Hammond style jazzy attack.

The Bass has 3 layers, one for the string attack, another for the body sounds and another for the low resonance. 

The piano hits at 1.03 onwards are 3 layers. 

The Percussion is quite complex - the kick is 3 layers, the hats, ride and snare 2 layers each.  The tuned toms (hear them as the panned fills) are only 2 layers!

The easy one was the organ doing the chords - simple 2 layers one a basic organ sounds and another to add body.

and, oh yes, the wahwah voice is JUST one instance Digits, with verb and EQ!! Just so we are clear about modulation eh?

PLEASE DOWNLOAD FOR MAXIMUM PPPP-PUNCH

The download here is a 320 kbps MP3 ... you can also get a FLAC lossless encoded download if you visit the same track here:

https://soundcloud.com/doctorbob/drbobblues-2

for that real as rendered sound vs any MP3 artefacts, even at 320kbps.

Please remember to leave any comments on the track here though (not the FLAC version!)

DoctorBob - Giving the Digit - (OSC 67 Digits)

Made for OSC 68 - Synth1

The download is a FLAC. Even a 320kbs mp3 doesn't seem to have the "bite".

All patches made from a starting point from the 10,000 presets and tweaked!!! (More so now I have RTFM!)

DAW Reaper

EpicVerb                    *  2
ReaEQ                        *  1 (essential to cut a hf ringing!!)
Classic Compressor   * 3

Limiter No6                          * 1

Most of the FX are native from Synth1, just a few EQ tweaks, a couple of verbs and delays extra.

DR 11

Enjoy!
