Diaseïs - The Crooked Cloud Experience (OSC #182)

Resulting from a collaboration with Taron (Taronium) this is a colorful quiet track inspired by the feeling of a bath in the woods.
We created this track for the April-24-OSC using the DAW MuLab9 and 22 instances of the great synth Charlatan-3 (three instances for Taron's almost inaudible birds!) plus a couple of Wider, Auburn Sounds Panagement, Valhalla Supermassive, Abstract Chamber.
Mid-Side and Echo (MuLab intern)
Ott, Bassline-Infra and Loudmax on the master.

"In the annals of modern music lore, there lies a story about a self-proclaimed maestro, who in truth orchestrated disarray with every note he played. A symphony of chaos conducted by someone, known far and wide by his infamous nickname: Charlatan."

Made for the One Synth Challenge #182 with 31 Instances of BlauKraut Engineerings Charlatan³ Free VSTi. Every sound including the """"vocals"""" and the percussion are only made with Charlatan³. It's Drum N Bass but heavily tinted by my style. Oops :P

The Andromeda Twist

This month's effort is using ExtraBold by nakst and as usual, the title bears no connection to the content. Good advice though: don't lick the tortoise. Anyhoo, with ExtraBold being Clap only, my DAW of choice this month is Bitwig Studio and here we are with 23 instances of ExtraBold. In passing I note that it barley tickles the CPU meter...

The following plugins were also used:

- dpMeter5, Blue Cat Gain 3 and KClip Zero on Clip To Zero duty
- xfer OTT
- NI Raum
- Valhallasupermassive
- kHs Trance Gate
- TDR Nova
- TDR Kotelnikov
- Bitwig EQ+
- Bitwig Compressor+
- Bitwig Drum Machine containing six ExtraBold instances
- Bitwig Arpeggiator
- SPAN
- Youlean Loudness meter

All patches from init as usual and a return to using Scaler 2 to generate the various MIDI tracks, many of which were subsequently edited quite heavily.

For anyone who might be interested, one of my slightly quieter tracks:

Integrated LUFS: -13.5 LUFS
Short Term LUFS: -11.5 LUFS
