joystick -- Doulifee can adjust the scores accordingly (or let you revote) but for future reference: you're not supposed to vote for yourself. Odd that this has started happening. This should be pointed out in the rules -- I don't want to add the restraint to the compo system because other/future compos may want to allow voting for oneself.

Okay, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and not say you're wrong. What I will say, though, is that when dealing with unisons, detuned-sawtooths and PWM sound very similar because they produce many of the same overtones. If you're stuck in the mindset that the "supersaw" reigns trance then that's not going to do your ears any favors because PWM leads are very, very popular in trance music. I don't claim to have any intimate knowledge about how this particular sound was designed, but I've made my call and I stick by it -- I'm usually right about these things. cheers.

Not a supersaw. It's pulse width modulation, like most trance leads.

I doubt it can compete with videos that require no creativity, e.g. taking an already popular clip and adding a cat playing keyboard to the end.

If that's the case I don't want any "pro" software. I have no patience for kids who steal software but at the same time I refuse to support companies that treat you like a criminal with dongles or other invasive anti-piracy measures. It seems you've already made up your mind on this subject so I can't conceive why you even bother bringing it up... unless you just want to make an ass out of yourself, which you seem to be succeeding at.

Of course not, how do you expect anyone to extrapolate that data when it's not available? The discussion is not about posted remixers. Just about users here, which the graph is likely a fair representation of.

based on the workshop data... The FL domination is to be expected, but Logic users are certainly on the map and even narrowing out Live users. Though I find it sad that notation software is beating out so many DAW apps.

If there were a good way to add VST/AU support they would've done it. Like Reason, Record uses the "rack" concept to represent signal flow. It is a unique, consistent interface that would be compromised by integrating AU/VST support.

It's a bit odd they tout this for "musicians" instead of "recording engineers" and yet the mixing board is directly based off an SSL that only recording engineers would be familiar with. Also... requires a dongle?? Anyway, I welcome Propellerheads' contribution to this market. The more competition there is, the better.

Then dave needs to get in on this. What would be better is if you saved 10% and helped the site whilst doing so.

Don't let anyone fool you, encouraging piracy makes you look cool and mature. It totally doesn't make you look like a bratty teenager who thinks they're entitled to have everything they want for free.

Any particular reason you're not posting these in the Fruity Loops forum? Trying to get as much exposure for your affiliate link as possible?

Let's use your definition: That's exactly what's going on here. Somebody already did the work of recording the instruments and breaking down their harmonics into a nice set of XML files (SHARC archive). OP uses the harmonic data from SHARC and re-synthesizes the harmonic data from scratch with a big sine function.

Did you click the SHARC link in the OP?

hey, I remember you mentioning this in the diy thread. Good stuff, hope you continue with it. I coded a drawbar organ, which is additive synthesis. Fourier and additive synthesis are roughly synonymous, I've seen projects like yours referred to as 'additive resynthesis'. I've also done a single operator FM synth. And you may have seen my subtractive synth from the diy thread (though I borrowed some code to make it). Do you have a link to that rant? I'm just curious because in my experience WAVE is one of the easiest formats to work with. cheers.

And you are. It only makes sense that Sonar would freeze to the session format. And the track is frozen before the mixing algorithm, so there's really no possibility for loss. Also, Harmony observed the issue as a panning inconsistency; bit depth and/or sample rate reduction wouldn't account for that. Frozen tracks should be imperceptible from unfrozen tracks. There is something buggy going on.

I use Logic, what I said applies to Audio Units as well. You didn't mention what host you were on so I appealed to majority. Glad you're making progress, though. cheers.

If I could be arsed to hunt down examples myself then I wouldn't have asked for them. I've never owned a gameboy of any sort. Huh? How so? It's not any more intricate than that, the problem is finding a grain similar to the psuedo-random pattern is apparently a crapshoot. You're making it out to be a bigger problem than it is, there are no hardware limitations at work here. Writing an 8-bit LFSR noise generator and wrapping it in the VSTi framework is not difficult, but unless you're a programmer that's probably not an option. When you're sampling channel 4 just try to isolate the cycle. And playing it back at faster or slower pitches should approximate clock divider changes.

I'm a programmer. And I like open source. But I definitely prefer OSX over linux on my personal computer. OSX doesn't really run on generic hardware. The point of my post wasn't so much suggesting you run out and drop $2,000 on a new computer, but that the environment you have chosen will be counter-productive to music making at times so be prepared for these sorts of headaches.

I'm using this as a reference: http://www.devrs.com/gb/files/hosted/GBSOUND.txt It seems the two modes are switching between an 8-bit and 16-bit LFSR so you're not exactly going to be able to duplicate that in a regular softsynth. I'm going entirely on theory here but if you took a white noise sample into a sampler and reduced the loop cycle point to a very small amount you may get a similar sound. If you could post some sound examples of the 7 vs. 15 step cycles that might give me some more ideas.

Max/MSP comes from IRCAM. It's not the only institution of its kind, we have CCRMA here in the US. There's probably others I'm forgetting. That serves a good example of showing the complexity of the THX sound when compared to the sort of approximation you'd get off a regular synthesizer.

I always say: If you want to make music in a nice Unix environment, get a Mac. Otherwise, be prepared to spend more time hacking config files, recompiling to satisfy dependencies, etc.. than making music.

I've posted that before, but it was in this intimidating thread so I'm sure it largely went unnoticed. Anyway, even today you'd really have to know what you're doing to duplicate that sound. Reaktor probably isn't sophisticated enough, probably SuperCollider or ChucK would be the "easiest" way.

Yeah, though in general I really wouldn't recommend using any of the original game audio in a remix unless you really know what you're doing.
