Synth Treehouse // Weekly Discussion - July 14, 2023
  • Super cool, what kind of game is it?

  • Synth Treehouse // Weekly Discussion - July 14, 2023
  • I sketched up a couple solid starts at tracks last week so this week I want to focus on fleshing them out some more and try to have at least one that I can call a full song.

  • Lil beat/song I'm working on with my m8
  • Nice, I like the glitchiness you've got going there. It's a good start just needs a bit of fleshing out I think, build in some more drums, progress the synths into larger phrases. Super cool though keep it up.

  • Awesome. I play ttrpgs too (mostly dnd) and have thought about doing this but as of yet haven't had the follow through. Will you be posting anything? I'd like to hear how it comes out.

  • Synth Treehouse // Weekly Discussion - July 9, 2023
  • Cool, will do then. Thanks.

  • Any M8 mates on here?
  • Oh man I want one of these little dudes so bad. They look like so much fun to use.

  • Synth Treehouse // Weekly Discussion - July 9, 2023
  • Yeah, I definitely plan to. I will for sure upload any songs I write that I incorporate it into. If there's interest I can also share just performing classical pieces as well but this being a synth board I can see how that may be slightly out of scope.

  • I started rededicating my efforts to practicing cello and trying to learn some new pieces. I want to incorporate it into the music I make and want to really get my chops back. For a while I had been only really playing things that I've already learned but not learning anything new and I want to stretch my brain again and learn a new thing with a goal of getting it performance ready. It feels really good to have a clear goal and something I need to put real focus into.

  • We never wash our belts, although they are the first thing we touch when leaving the toilet, even before we wash our hands
  • The number of men that I see on a regular basis leave the bathroom after going without washing their hands is alarming. I'm almost old enough now to start calling them on it, but not quite.

  • We are starting with the BS so early huh Threads?
  • They won't. At this point is this still unknown for the majority of people? Maybe I'm jaded but it seems like everyone knows they're being farmed for data but they don't care enough because fb/ig/everything these days is too convenient/addicting.

  • Sunday Discussion Lounge (6/25/2023)
  • I like the idea of this weekly thread for general discussion. Would we want to do a similar post each week (maybe month depending on interest) for users to post whatever they might be working on? Interesting sounds, cool beats, full songs, whatever. I think it would be cool to have a focus on what these various boxes and dials do and why we all like them so much.

  • Sunday Discussion Lounge (6/25/2023)
  • I would +1 this idea. It feels specific to a day when it's titled that way to me too.

  • Another track I made, hope you enjoy. The Will to Continue - Tragic Laurel
  • Thanks! It's actually all on the digitone but glad that's what that kick ended up sounding like to other people, that's essentially what I wanted.

  • What's your gear?
  • That's interesting about adding/removing effects and definitely worth considering. I would probably tend more toward loading my own samples but still relevant.

    I have been drawn to the idea of trackers and have tried a few out (e.g. renoise, sunvox on android) because I'm a big fan of stuff like Venetian Snares.

  • What's your gear?
  • That is pretty weird, I never would have considered that with factory samples/sounds.

    RE: Usability - That does kind of make sense from what I've heard, that it isn't really a sound design thing as much as its more for arrangement.

  • What's your gear?
  • Simple answer: Trying to make songs.

    Specific to my gear answer: I bought the Volca FM knowing nothing about synthesis, got a little lost in the programming, and got a Monologue to try out analog. Monologue is great but man do I love those weird and sometimes (subjectively) terrible FM sounds so that's how i got to the digitone, needing more capabilities and features.

  • What's your gear?
  • How do you like the Tracker? That's a piece of gear I've always flirted with but never had the guts to pull the trigger on or ever had a chance to play with.

  • What's your gear?
  • Very cool. Do you have it posted anywhere?

    Also curious, what kind of game is it?

  • What's your gear?
  • I don't know anything about vocoders but that sounds like a cool setup.

  • What's your gear?
  • Damn that's a nice setup. Nord gear is so cool. What kind of stuff do you make/play?

  • What's your gear?

    Hey, I thought it would be fun to take some time and talk about what we all use to make music/sounds/whatever it is we do with it.

    General question about a DAWless setup.

    Hey everyone, I've been using hardware synths to write music for a little while and I've heard of dawless setups around and I sort of get the gist of it. My question here is how do you/do you record songs to be able to post in some other way or is using a daw as just a recording step not mutually exclusive with a dawless setup?

    I guess to sum up, does dawless only really refer to what is controlling everything or is it truly never using a daw?
