aced411,maybe you can do a HARD,extremely DARK DJ-Style Techno theme for those who hate natural-sounding tracks

(perfect for the evil Bowser theme)
I know you can sequence some pretty dark stuff very well with what you use - Reason

Have you created any music using tracker-based formats (.S3M, .IT, .XM) ?

Rev. Layle · Post by **Rev. Layle** » Sat Jul 03, 2004 5:05 am

that is where i started:

octamed on the amiga

some fast tracker

dumploads of impulse tracker

now i use buzz (more control with software synthesis, mixing, and VST effects)

nakamichi · Post by **nakamichi** » Sat Jul 03, 2004 12:53 pm

Have you tried the free Skale Tracker from chanka.org?

Rev. Layle · Post by **Rev. Layle** » Sat Jul 03, 2004 5:46 pm

nope - i pretty much use buzz, does everything i need it to, short of having actualy music hardware and a midi sequencer/mixing app

nakamichi · Post by **nakamichi** » Fri Jul 16, 2004 8:03 am

Buzz,the free track-sequencer from buzzmachines.com?
Is that the one you're using? If it is.....it's AWWWESOME !

Rev. Layle · Post by **Rev. Layle** » Fri Jul 16, 2004 9:58 am

yup that's the one, a bit buggy if not configured correctly or used old buggy effect/generators... but mainly that with some extrnal sound editing for final mastering and of course separate vocal recordings

nakamichi · Post by **nakamichi** » Fri Jul 16, 2004 10:46 am

But I also like using all those Buzz Effects and Generators as plugins in other sequencers like FL Studio 4.52...then it's more stable.

Rev. Layle · Post by **Rev. Layle** » Fri Jul 16, 2004 4:05 pm

well using some of the more shady modules in FL will cause problems

of course i cannot stand FL's interface (not that it's a bad program, i just have problems working effictively with it), so i stick with buzz

nakamichi · Post by **nakamichi** » Fri Jul 16, 2004 6:00 pm

I couldn't stand FL's interface first,but then I found it's really good for sequencing MIDIs...
But FL Studio still needs A LOT of work to be really efficient.For now,it's only half-good.

I still can't find one piece of software that will satisfy all of my needs. I hate to use 3 or 4 programs and then complete the final project with yet another program...I want to use only 1 or 2 programs for everything.

Well anyway it's been a long time since I've checked back here, but I stopped worrying about the homebrew music since I didn't get any interest and ended up starting a band. CD is done and we're playing shows now in the Northwest. (USA)

Hello everyone.It's been a long time since I posted in the DCEmu forums and especially in this topic.
I was just about halfway doing the music for Cool Herders,but it didn't came out as planned (I had other work to do,leaving me almost 2 months without a PC and internet),so I left that project and I'm now doing my own super-secret music project :)
More info when it's done.I'll upload a sampler for you to enjoy. :)

aced411,yes,it's been a long time since you've posted too.
I just checked out your 64k promo page and listened to the sampler.
What software did you use this time? Is it BUZZ again? Heh,sounds a bit like like Buzz.

My thoughts about your music: I found the most of your tracks DARK(some even apocalyptic),and noisy,like hardcore rock meets electro synth-pop.
Not my style of music,but I really liked the third and fifth track,which stood out from the rest bringing more melody and atmosphere,and less noise.
I think you may do well,as today's people LOVE dark and noisy stuff.It's just not the thing I listen to(we're all not the same everybody has their own preference).

So,when my new project is ready (it will be very soon),I'll lpost the link to the demonstration sampler. :)
