View this Thread in Original format Vernon Wanderer This should be interesting. The idea is to turn off your speakers/monitors/headphones, and go in "blind". Make a track that is just one minute long using only your previous experiences as a guide. Rules: -No fixes, once exported track is final. -All samples are random, no re-using sounds from previous tracks. -No presets, synthesize your own sounds. This goes for effects and filters too. -ROMPLERS - forbidden (Nexus, Piano/real strings/etc-specialized VSTi not allowed) -No loops. This will be tough for those of us who are inexperienced at synthesis. Sample-shooting: well, good luck :D Levels - you can ofc use visual monitoring for this. Tip for uploading: since you definitely don't want to share this with the world, on Soundcloud use the "private" feature and then embed it here so only people in this thread can hear it. :) Right, here is my shot: Blind man by Hipster Fish Haven't listened yet! :wtf: Vernon Wanderer :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: Holy that was a trip :stongue: I am actually surprised how good the kick and the bassline sound. That weird brrmmmm sound that shows up at some intervals was supposed to be a pad. Needless to say I failed miserably :rolleyes: This just shows how much I struggle with synthesis still. Also, way too much reverb on the snares at the end :D It's your turn, come on! :D Normie Sounds like fun...I'll give it a go. MSZ ill do this tomorrow. . orTof�nChiLd oh god my track would b so terrible aquila [edit] , didn't read the rules...trying again DJRYAN� I'm init. =) edit: listening to Markus Schulz right now so I have no ears!! edit II: I'm not sure how long this was supposed to take but I jotted down a few things, added some noise, changed up the drum pattern, put in a modulated bass at the drop, and threw in an arpeggiator. I still haven't listened to it sooooooo.. lord help us =) Blind by DJRYAN� Vernon Wanderer Only one participant? For shame TA, for shame! :o XDR I'll give it a try :D meriter i feel like i have nothing to gain from spending the time doing this XDR quote: Originally posted by meriter i feel like i have nothing to gain from spending the time doing this Yeah probably not. Just a reminder that the most important thing for making music is your ears :D As it's not a contest I didn't bother to spend much time on it (which would be pointless anyway when you can't hear what you're doing). Anyway here's what I made: Producingwithoutsound by XiJaro Not sure if I dare press play :nervous: XDR lol, that actually sounds much better than I expected. But my pad is way too soft, can't hear it :( It's also obvious again I often have my drums too loud compared to the synths and usually have to adjust it when mixing. Fun little experiment :) CLICK TO RETURN TO TOP OF PAGE Pages: [1] 2 3
