Leonard Bowman - All Grown Up

Track made with some instances of SQ8L free synth for KVR OSC 143 contest. Produced in FL Studio "on live" style.

The idea on this project is for these difficult times, we have to plead and pray to Universe and wait to become reality. After all, we are all creators of reality.

I hope you all find it pleasant to your ears.

1968, 2PM: Leslie Dust

This track made using all hardware for the KVR One Synth Challenge #143

My sound source is my Yamaha DX-11. The hardware effects were from the Zoom Studio 1201, Boss Digital Reverb, Behringer Virtualizer Pro and the FX section of my Yamaha AW16G Hard disk recorder.

Each track was recorded separately, and then each track was recorded again with any effects required at 100% wet (so the dry and wet tracks can be mixed as required). Once all this had been done, each track was then played back through my Behringer MX2642 analogue mixer and EQ applied using the low, swept mid and high EQ section. The EQ was done for ALL tracks, including the tracks with effects and percussion elements (38 tracks in total).

All 38 tracks were then mixed with no mastering effects, only using SPAN and Youlean Loudness Meter 2 (free) to check the overall levels and frequency content.

Mixed in Reaper 6.

Final tracks used for mixing after EQ.

1. Bass 1 - programmed to have a small pluck, dry.
2. Bass 2 - programmed to have a full body sound, dry.
3. Keyboard 1 - a basic FM piano, dry.
4. Keyboard 2 - track 3 + reverb.
5. Keyboard 3 - track 3 with a delay
6. Guitar - a raw acoustic sound, dry
7. Guitar - track 6 + reverb
8. Pad 1 - one of the classic DX sounds, dry
9. Pad 1 - track 8 + reverb
10. Strings 1 - classic DX strings,dry
11. Strings 2 - track 10 + reverb
12. Flute solo 1 - pure DX sinewave sounds, LFO vibrato and level scaling (reduce harmonic content for higher notes),dry
13. Flute solo 2 - track 12 + reverb
14. Flute solo 3 - sound of flute 1 but with modulation of operator parameters via mod wheel, dry
15. Guitar solo 1 - classic DX "flamenco" guitar sound,dry
16. Guitar solo 2 - track 15 + reverb
17 - 38. Percussion elements. Bass drum, hats, bongos, toms, rides, triangles etc! Some elements layered with 2 or 3 DX sounds. All dry.

Stats:
LUFS: -14.9
DR: 10

No volume automation was done either, all relative volumes are done by the playing and the key velocity of the DX-11. This means that if you got enough DX-11's on stage into a mixer plus FX units, this track could be played exactly as you hear it, LIVE!

Please enjoy the lovely sounds of this early 80's synth.
