8 TRACK ATTACK! New Member Assignment


Announcements

Nice work! Full-sounding mix for the most part. Could have maybe had some more effects in some places (automated upper bass layer effects for instance) to fill out the break when it's just drums and bass.

Lush track though and excellent job selecting sounds. Were there any sounds you were gutted to not be able to include? What would have been your next choice?

Future Rave #6 - Out Now - BONUS MEMBER TUTORIAL


Announcements

Hey y'all!

The Future Rave series continues with a look at creating your own Risers. This is the first in a series of tutorials on this subject, which will be rolling out over the coming weeks, to whip the arrangement into a frenzy before dropping the massive bass! The first part is working in Loopcloud, followed by subsequent parts in Devious Machines Infiltrator and then purely within the DAW.

Check the installment in the BONUS TUTORIALS section.

8 TRACK ATTACK! New Member Assignment


Announcements

As announced in last night's stream, we've kicked off the next Member Assignment......

8 Track Attack banner.jpg

It's pretty straight forward really... make a song with only 8 tracks. The song wants to be electronic dance music of some description, e.g. House, Techno, Breaks, Drum & Bass, Hip Hop, Trap... take your pick. (No David Essex Tone!)

Every track can only have 1 sound on it, but you can do anything to the sound. In other words, you can't have 1 track for Drums, with a whole drum kit or loop on, but can only have one track for a kick, another for a snare, and then 6 for your remaining sounds. This is a challenge after all!

We did have some questions about layering instruments and of course that has to be allowed to some degree. I mean we can't only allow a single oscillator or noise generator in a soft synth! Many patches are of course multi-layered and that's almost certainly fine. However, the objective here isn't to find ways of cheating but to see how much you can do with how little.

It's fine to start with simple sounds on tracks but then use a multitude of effects to fill out and transform the sound. Or, start off with very noisy sounds and then shape frequencies with filters to make them work in the mix, but then ramp things up by opening the filter as and when you need - you'll have more to play with that way.

For some examples, feel free to check out the intro to the assignment that was last night's stream in the Activites area HERE.

As always, when you've done your track, post it on your profile in the forum and then add a link to this thread.

DEADLINE: MONDAY 2nd SEPTEMBER 2024

1st PRIZE: ORCHESTRA TOOLS HABITAT

RUNNERS UP PRIZE: TBA

Winners will be picked live in a Zoom feedback session in September.

If you have any other questions, let us know on this thread...

Good luck and we look forward to hearing your entries joyful-2

New house track - Briannas Musings


Let us hear you!

Love the groove in this one! It may not be hugely banging but it's certainly getting me moving!

The arrangement is a touch static. Melodically, it's awesome. Plenty of changes and things happening with the organ themes, although they could have had a bit of support with a background synth or pad perhaps. I'd definitely like to hear more fills, drops, risers - not huge ones but just something to make the transitions more interesting and less abrupt. 

The breakdown bit when the bass drops out for instance, could also have a supporting pad or strings come in at that point, maybe a soft impact to announce the break, a filter sweep perhaps, maybe an automated reverb/delay or a different spacial effect, all accompanied by a noise or FX sweep to build into the next section. What you have is okay but would sound much stronger with these sorts of supporting/structural elements, which also help to carry the energy through the track.

Anyway, lovely track so far. Definitely would fit well in the Jalapeno Records/Kraak and Smaak mixes I listen to from time to time.
