Rain Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Like, you buy a synth, and you mess with it and you find yourself with a new song or a new cover idea... That's what happened here, when I got that UAD bundle. Songs keep pouring out of that Onyx synth. I love that thing. So I ended up with a cover of one of my favorite 80's pop song, albeit one I would never had imagined covering - it pretty much just materialized in front of me. But there's this one part I am struggling with so I've been experimenting with it - and allowing inspiration to take me wherever it would. I just jam in Logic, you know... It doesn't really work (I think) but I had so much fun trying to evoke that The Cure/The Crow type of soundscape from memory... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberwolf Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Sounds good to me (If I had a midi file for the song I'd probably be doing all sorts of wierd stuff to it). 1 hour ago, Rain said: Like, you buy a synth, and you mess with it and you find yourself with a new song or a new cover idea... That's what happened here, when I got that UAD bundle. Songs keep pouring out of that Onyx synth. I love that thing. For me, it's just whenever I experiment with a sound I haven't poked at before, though getting something entirely new (rare) does it too. I'm still going thru that process with Z3TA2+ even after years of exploring it, sometimes with it's presets, sometimes modifying a sound or even starting from "scratch" on it (or random!). When I am stuck on some other project, I also do things like clearing it's events / clips, saving as a totally new folder/file, and randomly dropping audio (or midi) clips from my vast "sounds" folder , then rearranging, deleting, altering, etc., until something vaguely musical begins to take shape. Sometimes it even turns into an actual song, like some of the recent ones on my bandcamp (in my signature or the threads over in the Songs forum).

It's won a few music top whatever contests and, I must confess, I just love that synth sound! Personally, I think Rain's made it his own and rocked it up a bit! Me likey! 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
