LFOs are lots of fun to mess with. Great for applying to many effects; I say it's a good idea to really play around with them on sends, instruments, even final output. VOPM is nice, but I find the interface a bit complex (though it is FM synthesis, so it's understandable). |

Miki boast -> ZUN-style artist -> Youtube (nice work, btw) -> This forum It's not that long of a trail, although there was some time between each stage. Verification and the like. Considering in the span of half a week, I was able to find someone who does such music by request, I'd consider that good luck. Moreso, considering that you replied. |

Oh, I forgot to comment on your latest work! Definitely liking the synth bass and the melody is a considerable improvement. Bass is a bit muddy at times, though, and the panned drums seem like I'm listening to an Amiga game soundtrack. I would also replace the ZUNpet with some other lead, as I find it doesn't fit too well. |

@The_EP Thanks for the comment. :3 It's becoming more busy lately, with the holiday season and all, but I still find time to set up shop and write music. Anyway, I've been experimenting with the synth samples, but thFont is not making it easy for me (panning and volume differences between the sample's octaves), but I figured how to do a workaround without invoking too many soundfont players (via FL's automation; multiple instances is just waiting for a CPU underrun...). Drum pans are actually unintended. I guess I didn't pay attention to the drum samples too much during the mixing phase. It turns out that the thDrum TR-909 (SC-55) samples are not recorded mono like the Room and Power kit, so I need to manually feed them to a mono channel before connecting them to the master channel. I'll try to avoid the weird drum pans in the future. (On the other hand, I kind of like Amiga sounds...) Ah, the bass sounded muddy because of the HP filter I was messing around with. I set it up too high (around 100~200Hz, IIRC) at the Master bus (not a good idea now, in retrospect), On the other hand, it taught me that filters have to be applied INDIVIDUALLY to each track, instead of using a universal 40Hz+11Hz cut at the Master bus. >.< I always seem to learn the hard way. It sucks not being a genius, ..currently listening to prog rock and goth rock music to get some fresh perspective in music... |

In your case using VOPM, Synth1, and SUPERWAVE P8 (maybe FM8 and ChipSounds if money and hardware permit) would be a good idea for doing just that rather than relying on SF2s. --- Quote ---Drum pans are actually unintended.

Usually drums are panned in the centre of the mix with other things either at centre or to a side (such as the hi-hats). And yeah, I too like the Amiga sounds, but that involves figuring out how to write music in tracker notation instead :V --- Quote ---I always seem to learn the hard way.
