I think I'm fine with ARC3. I have a particular flow when exporting, which is switching on dithering, hitting the dim switch on my RME remote and disabling ARC. Works fine. I think I forget to disable it once every 20 exports. The CPU hit is minimal. I don't know what my advantage of upgrading would be.

Edit: People on Gearspace seem to say that the upgraded algorithm sounds better. Soooo, maybe I will upgrade. I'm not looking forward to doing the measurements again though.

So is this the Prophet 6?. Damn you have a killer style.????

I left my comments on your YOUTUBE channel.

Yes this is the P6. It's awesome. I used a weird midi generator in Ableton where notes flow in a sine wave LFO which you can manipulate with 'gravity' and are triggered when they cross some threshold. It creates a really unique melody. 

Next week (recorded this weekend) I do a bit more 'traditional' melody work with the P6. I was worried it might clash with the Matriarch, but they work really well together.

BTW, left my like and comment at YT, hope you all will too!…

And here you are, right on time haha. I really appreciate the support. It's awesome!

A mixture between what you know I do and something I like to listen to but don't make a lot. Oh, and a new toy, boy is it awesome!

I use Loc-ness sometimes on drums, it's quite good for 'that' sound.

Just Killer, the vocal adds so much to this song it's crazy. great job?

BTW I left my comments on your YOUTUBE channel.

Thank you! And yes the vocal hits the spot just right, I was lucky to find it (it's just a Splice vocal amongst thousands). It kinda works with the zombie behaviour of the Malevolent and the overall vibe.

Funny synth that Malevolent. Because of the unstable character of the filter, the sharp cutoff and that insane resonance, you basically play chromatically with the filter. And there are sweetspots where it does it all by itself (hence the "zombie" part). 

As always, enjoy!

Also, as I remember, the Fire series wasn't included in the previous BF sale. I don't know if this is a first, but the code works on those plugins.

And then stack your Loyalty discount to make it even cheaper!

Oh hold on, I tried stacking but there's no coupon input anymore after you use 1. So I guess they can't be stacked, or am I missing something?

Ash (clipper) is normally 199. But it is discounted to 109. Add the 50% coupon and it is 54.50.

Man, that is just killer?

Thanks! The Edge really shines in this one.

Nice little jam. I was going for a more mellow vibe with a clear melody (I tend to get a bit muddy sometimes). But suddenly the Edge started to do what it does very well, a bit of  industrial beats. So I went with it and made it a section in the track.

Fun fact / happy accident: the high drone sound from 2:10 all the way through 5:10 is the MS20 which kept sustaining the note. It wasn't planned but the patch turned out that way and I decided to keep it in. That's the fun of hardware!

One of the best clippers out there.

I guess that's with discount already off? I don't see a 'from...now..." thing. just the price. No code or anything. Maybe this is already discounted, maybe the campaign hasn't started yet?

I use REW, a behringer measurement mic and then my digital mixer to flatten the image. Just a note for all of these room compensation things, They really only optimize the sound in a very small area where your head should be.  If you move around the room it can actually make things worse.  I have calibration EQs for several positions in the room if I want to be in a different place.

You can make different profiles with ARC3. It takes a little while because you have to do the whole measurement process a couple of times, but you could easily make a different profile for every position you would be in. I tried this with my door open and closed. It made some difference but not a lot. I guess it would make a bigger difference when in another position. So I'm going to make another profile for when I'm 1,5 meters away at my synth stand.

Preach!!! That is one monster set up you've got there, sounds killer in my headphones?

It's about to get even better with a new toy I acquired this weekend. It will probably take a couple of weeks to set up.

And I take special care of the stereofield since someone here gave me the feedback that it could be improved.

It’s Sunday and our man is jammin’!

t

An entire year now! Next week will be a true Sunday jam (meaning, recorded on a Sunday).

After a so called pagan livejam 2 weeks ago in the Heilung style, let's counter with the 'enemy'. Gospel worship melodic techno. Does that exist? Well it does now!
 

Already using it. I have my studio in my very suboptimal living room. I'm not putting up ugly (or less ugly but still nothing to look at) soundproofing.

Take that Korg! They are out there releasing a plethora of stuff, only to be absolutely PULVERIZED by this uppercut of a workstation. Did I mention it's a looker too? ?

Alright, the genre name keeps on growing, I don't really know anymore haha. There not much sticking out so it's more about the thing as a whole. I think I will change it up in the future where I will try to get 1 or 2 elements to be upfront. Just like a proper musician ?

Although not my genre, this was a great listen!

The PPG Wave has been free or very low at some time I believe. The Streichfett is a cool plugin!

Bought it. The Newfangled stuff is top quality and it never hurts to have an extra delay.

Something a bit different this time, but still in my wheelhouse:

I recently discovered the band (collective? family? They don't call themselves a band I think) Heilung and was blown away. It awakened my Germanic DNA and had me raiding villages south of the Rhine. In seriousness, I don't really know what it is, but it is my heritage and it clicked with me on a level I haven't felt before. So I immediately bought tickets to a show and made this Heilung inspired jam (or old Germanic inspired, this means droning instruments layered in octaves, lots of drums and singing, I didn't have the nerve or skill to add throatsinging haha). I made it my own of course, but it came out great imo.

Enjoy!
