I sketched up a couple solid starts at tracks last week so this week I want to focus on fleshing them out some more and try to have at least one that I can call a full song.

Nice, I like the glitchiness you've got going there. It's a good start just needs a bit of fleshing out I think, build in some more drums, progress the synths into larger phrases. Super cool though keep it up.

Cool, will do then. Thanks.

It's such a good album. Love both of these bands and can't believe they did a full collab album.

That's interesting about adding/removing effects and definitely worth considering. I would probably tend more toward loading my own samples but still relevant.

I have been drawn to the idea of trackers and have tried a few out (e.g. renoise, sunvox on android) because I'm a big fan of stuff like Venetian Snares.

That is pretty weird, I never would have considered that with factory samples/sounds.

RE: Usability - That does kind of make sense from what I've heard, that it isn't really a sound design thing as much as its more for arrangement.

Simple answer: Trying to make songs.

Specific to my gear answer: I bought the Volca FM knowing nothing about synthesis, got a little lost in the programming, and got a Monologue to try out analog. Monologue is great but man do I love those weird and sometimes (subjectively) terrible FM sounds so that's how i got to the digitone, needing more capabilities and features.

How do you like the Tracker? That's a piece of gear I've always flirted with but never had the guts to pull the trigger on or ever had a chance to play with.

oh damn, I want to see them with the body so badly. I saw Uniform a couple years back just by themselves and that was an amazing show.

Semi-related, the body + full of hell show would be a dream too.

[-] porphyry@waveform.social 2 points 1 year ago

Very cool. Do you have it posted anywhere?

Also curious, what kind of game is it?

[-] porphyry@waveform.social 1 points 1 year ago

I started small, had the FM and Drum Volcas and a Korg Monologue. Recently picked up a Digitone and that's been a huge upgrade in terms of overall song writing ability and experience.

I still use the Volca FM all the time though, it's a bit tough to do the sound design on but I love the sounds that come out of it.
