Re: Spotlight Kyd - Angel of Ice (MODX Mix) [Synthpop/Synthwave]

Thanks, guys. Glad you like it!

I delayed putting this out for far too long, because I had grandiose ideas for a video, which I never managed to put into reality 8)

Re: Libre Music Challenge #20: Vitalium

Here's my feedback... All in all, I think this was a very solid round of quality submissions. All tracks had something going for them and I enjoyed them all. A-Lin - Kermeas Sound design: Great juxtaposition / separation of sounds: Trance lead vs Soft Plucks vs Meaty Bass Snare is very much just noi...

Spotlight Kyd - The Hunt for Vitalium

Here's my last minute submission. https://0x20.eu/nc/s/a9MengRZ6sCzP63 Very short, but putting even this together was ardourous enough (get it?) . Created in Ardour 7 on Manjaro Linux: Plugins used CNT | TYPE | NAME 5 * VST3 Vitalium (by DISTRHO) 8 * LV2 Vitalium (by DISTRHO) 2 * LV2 ACE Compressor ...

Re: Open source singing synth.

If it's fitting to your style of music try using a vocoder (for example TAL vocoder from DISTRHO ports). It won't sound natural, but neither do these vocal synths to my ears.

Re: Libre Music Challenge #19: Odin 2

Hey, there. I took part in LMC #3 way back. so here's my grumpy, totally subjective feedback: (I've also submitted the points on the voting site.) Arkforest - Tu Vai Morrer Great sounding track, though I think the kick is much too promiment. Would be great for a fight scene in a cyberpunk shooter. T...

Re: Libre Music Challenge #20: Vitalium

In answer to my own question above: the general feeling on unfa's Rocket Chat libre-music-challenge channel was that, yes, this is ok. --- A heads up for potential participants and Linux DAW users: The LV2 plugin version of Vitalium sometimes (always?) doesn't restore its state correctly when the pr...

Re: Libre Music Challenge #20: Vitalium

Can we use wavetables created from samples, e.g. using text-to-speech to generate a wav file, import that into WaveEdit and export it as a wavetable for Vitalium?

Re: MGV - Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot

This made me remember another great song from a Canadian about a shrip wreck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTVKmqTWvJc I actually met Heather when she was in Germany for a few pub concerts we organized for her when that album came out. And then there's of course Stand Roger's "The Flowers of...

Re: The four winter video+music

Petrodvorets in winter 2023. Walking video sketches in the Lower Park of Peterhof, filmed in the winter of 2023, voiced by the author's guitar improvisation 'The little bird'.

I liked that one. But in the video the overused fast zooms are a bit jarring :shock:

Re: Transfer Point: Unit Circle (Around My Heart)

Very well done, but not my cup of tea stylistically, too sugar-y-sweet.

But I commend you for using the "Not In Love" vocal pad technique. I always wanted to try that out myself sometime.
