Really dope, quite a cool and stylish track. Lots of spatial stuff and sound design going on all round. Nice!

I love those reverb-drenched stabs. They provide a lot of depth and motion.

I think that I would like a more present kick. Something to make it more insistent and driving. As is it's impressive but I can't connect with it.

the acid stuff is very pleasing on the ears. sometimes it drowns our the kick with it's loud bass. but that's ok. I wish there was more of a main theme or something.

I like how flat intro turned out into bass arps wall

I like the build up of intensity here and there - the "talking" bass sound is very nice.

This song took several tries to get to where i want it. Once i fleshed out the idea, i started layering sounds to get a fuller feel for the track and to decorate the space. im particularly proud of the kick which is three active instances of the synth, i crafted the envelopes down to the milisecond and used an oscilliscope to precisely dial in the timing. I had several initial approaches for the kick none of which worked well. I worked a lot on the percussion to get metallic sounds using the FM function of the synth and also using a lot of EQ to peak frequencies. I woulnd say i went full 11/10 but i went 9/10 on EQ. I also used some distortion, to about 8/10. I accentuated sounds but did not completely distroy them. A lot of texture to certain percussion was obtained by layering different sounds at different pitches and also different FM ratios etc. Playing with envelopes goes a long way. 

The bass sounds are all very simple actually and most are a few layers deep with different waveforms FMing at different ratios and pitches. I was gonna go ballistic on the basses and use EQ, clipping and even convolution to obliterated the sound. But to avoid being DQ i opted for the PG 13 version. 

the amount of automation in this project with greater than 100 instances of the synth has made it a chore to navigate. Some midi clips have 6 or 7 layers of automation and other have only one but heavily adjusted everywhere. the automation i used the most is volume. Cutting sounds so they dont interfere with other sounds and to cut reverb tails, and also to shape sounds since i did not like the way the envelopes in the synth itself worked at times. Working with audio clips would have made this much more easy. I do not think i will go this hard for OSC ever again. But then again...it was kinda fun...

The song is clipped and compressed severely. I could have pushed it harder but i did NOT!! in order to preserve that last gasp of dynamic range that was slowly waiting to die. This is not a ballad, or classical, its dubstep - or something like it. 

The song got its name from the distinct digital alarm sound that we're all so familiar with. I used it in the buildup, in the drop, everywhere...

Nothing on the master except Gclip and ReaLimiter. 

Thats all i got

Calling the Monolith

Call the Monolith (OSC 194 Monolit)

Yo, the Pope is dope, he ain’t here to mope,
Steppin' in the ring with the power of hope.
Single synth in hand, that is my scope,
One synth wizard, man, it’s time to elope.

Y’all try to cope with your stacked up gear,
But I’m rockin’ the throne, son, loud and clear.
My synth’s on fire, and the beat’s tight—
You’re out here struggle-jamming', man, I’m lightin’ up the night.

I bring the holy sound, pull you in like a rope,
One bar at a time, while you struggle to cope.
Your tracks full of junk, you need an ocean of soap,
Try steppin’ to the Pope? Man, what a joke.
