One Ring by Sarah Thompson 29 published on 2017-07-03T19:37:17Z OMG, my modular synth thinks it's a guitar hero! Send help! Patch notes: The guitar lines (clean, distorted and reversed) initially came from a Mutable Instruments Rings, sequenced by a Makenoise Rene. The X axis on the Rene was synchronized with the beat via a signal sent from Cubase via Silent Way, one of my Apollos and an Expert Sleepers ES3. The Y axis was clocked by the burst output on a Wogglebug. I was playing the sequencer, rings and Wogglebug via their controls. Audio was recorded from the modular via an ES6. As for the rest of the track, some of the drums were programmed in Cubase, the rest played by hand (djembe, congas and extra kick/snare fills) on a Roland HPD-20. The bass is actually me playing a Chapman Stick (for realz! Gosh, the shock of the thing!), plugged into the HI-Z ins on one of the Apollos. The synth pads are a custom patch on my Roland JP-8080, noodled real-time. The mix uses a metric assload of UAD plugins -- SSL channel strips pretty much everywhere, a couple of Shadow Hills mastering compressors (ab)used for various things, several Lexicon 224 instances gave us all the reverb. Delays were just the simple ping-pong delay that ships with Cubase by default. This isn't really a properly mastered thing, it's just the UAD SSL bus compressor into the UAD precision limiter. This was all a bit of fun, mostly just testing new (and very old) equipment. And the first time I've played bass on something in years, particularly in terms of Stick. :-) Genre Ambient Comment by c0r3dump3d Great sound!! 2020-06-03T21:02:46Z Comment by Quincas X you're a badass!
