Not to nit-pick, but they're not actually zombies, they're just humans infected with rage... they don't hunger flesh or bite people, they just carry on the virus to other hosts by blood/saliva transmission.

I can program a synthesizer, wire LFO, and use parameter automation.

How do I not understand audio production?

I think what he's trying to say is you need to understand how to work synths in order to create your core sound, and then you need to have knowledge on EQ's Compressions and other effects etc to get your final sound.

Which you say your quite handy in Thor, meaning you know how to work with it, which in that case surely you'd know how to get a bass sound on there already... But I'm not questioning that as I'm here to help you either way. I'm not handy with Thor myself so I'd use Subtractor or Malstrom for my bass if I was to use Reason.

Then you say you're looking for a dnb bass, so I'm assuming something like a Reese, this, to me is one of the easiest sounds to get from a synth, however, it's difficult making it sound unique, this is where personal taste, and a bit of production 'flare' so to speak, comes into play.

Here's a video tutorial on how to create a Bass, in Reason, with the Malstrom.

When you look at what he's doing, he's basically recreating the 3xOsc from FL Studio, bypassing everything else and using the core waveforms with each one slightly detuned and with portamento.

Once you've got that sound, add, EQ, connect it to scream and mess around with a bit of distortion, try adding filters, phasers, flanger and then try automating cutoff and resonance frequencies throughout your bassline.

Hope that helps!

I think that sounds like a great idea personally.

If everyone who voted had to write a review along side their vote it would make people think about what they're voting and like you said, it would definitely stop people 0 bombing. And if people did 0 bomb and then accompany it with a lame review, they could easily be banned/warned for their behavior.

I was thinking of getting the new(ish) C&C Red Alert 3 for my PC, but is it worth it since I'm not that familiar with the story-line? Will it make much difference to how good the game is for me?

I've played the original C&C back on my PS1 years ago, and then played bits of Red Alert 1 with my brother, and I've also played Tiberian Sun. So I'm not completely new to the games, but I know there is a lot of other C&C games that I haven't played.

So worth buying, or should I play all the older games first?

Here we go, just to show you how quick you can change it around too, alter your 3xOsc to Osc 1 is Square, Osc 2 stays as noise, Osc 3 is Saw.

Then add loads of effects for example like this:
http://www.2shared.com/file/5521515/84db b213/wind_mixer_state_file.html

It's completely different and it has that sort of buildup/background fx I think you're after.

I make a lot of mine by using the Wave Traveller using samples and getting Wave Traveller to mess around with it over certain amount of bars, reversing cymbal effects and big orchestral hits and things like that.

If you want to completely create your own, get an initialized patch on your synth, and have things such as the Pitch LFO increase over time, as well as using a pitch bend (up or down), adding delay, reversing it and generally just experimenting with things.

I also find adding a noise waveform and altering its pitch and cutoff freq/resonance helps create that sort of sound.

Here's an example in FL Studio (made by DJ MaryPoppins):
http://www.2shared.com/file/5521418/fba8 a499/wind.html

Or you could buy a sample pack such as VEC or the deadmau5 XFER CD if you wanted...

To be honest, I don't stick with set tempos, I just go with what feels right.

I get the melody in my head, hum it to myself, and put the click track on and alter it accordingly until it matches up. Simple :)

Just tried out Dubstep for the first time, put a short little number up, let me know what ya think :)

JD - Bar Ride [Dubstep Demo], by SupJD Type: SongGenre: Miscellaneous

I was just eating some food and thought I'd go through a few of the flashes in the collection pages while I ate - and to pass some time. I went onto the 'Experimental' category and came across one which didn't have a name, it's about 30 down on the list with the description...

Here's the link and the description given on the collection page...
"The author isn't sure what this is, but he tried for daily feature and he won."

So I clicked it, and it's been blammed/deleted, so I was just wondering, why is it still in the collection pages? Is there a history behind it I don't know about it, or just the fact it was never removed from the collection?

This is the most unorganized contest I think I have ever seen, noone has any idea on how the winner is being decided, it's taken over 2 weeks since the competition closed and still we have no winner.

The organizer clearly has no care or intention on there being a winner as he's more interested in starting his next competition, which if anyone decides to enter that after the display he's put on for this competition, then they are an idiot, cause most likely it will be run in the same disorganized fashion.

Well I'm not editing .msi files cause I have no idea what potential damages I could do to my computer, nor should I downgrade after I just spent money upgrading...

Yes I could make backups and partition my HD but I don't want to, again nor should I have to, it's obviously not a product built to last which is why I most likely picked it up for that price I did, since the original owner probably went through the same problems I just had with it. Which is why I'm now looking at other potential interfaces to buy.

I've been searching round and found one I like from Line6, it's a Pod Studio UX2, it runs on Vista, does exactly what I need it to do and it is reasonably priced! Still gonna look around though so I'm still up for peoples thoughts on what audio interfaces they think are good :)

I agree with Quarl, if you have no idea how Thor works, I'm assuming you have basic knowledge on creating custom patches in synthesizers in general?

Using simplified synthesizers will give you a much better understand of how they work, I'd also suggest reading up on what everything means, all the different wave forms, filters, A-D-S-R etc then you will have an understand on how to get the sound your attempting to get, for example, pads or bass.

Once you understand that a bit more then try creating custom patches with Thor, cause you gotta keep in mind, Thor is a deep synthesizer, it has 6 oscillator types (3 of which can be on at any time), 4 different filters (also 3 of which can be on at any time), a step sequencer and a modulation matrix, plus with reasons ability to route the cables up to your preference, it can make things very complicated!

Well... that sucks, it doesn't work with Vista!

You have to modify .msi files or something, I'd rather not start editing files I know nothing about so it seems for me, it wasn't a bargain afterall, it was just a waste of £20 :(

So now I have another question, can anyone suggest a similar audio/usb/midi interface that is decent quality and works with Vista?

Oh, and I know a lot of people are very anti-Vista and say that making music in Vista is a no-no, but this is the first problem I've ever had with Vista since I've had it, and this isn't technically a problem with the OS, its the hardware...

Today I managed to pick up what I think is a bargain, I think it's a bargain mainly because I'm only guessing how much is should be if I had paid for it new... I managed to pick it up for £20, which is pretty cheap.

I'm just about to set it up and install it but I'm happy and exciting already cause it's gonna save me so much hassle! Now I can record my guitar, with all my FX pedals plugged in and get a decent sound on my computer. Before, no matter how low the input signal was or what settings I altered, my computer always did this weird fade in effect, so I could never record directly into my computer.

So I always had to record on my digital recorder, and load it into my computer into samples, which would get very tedious and annoying - especially if later I found I had made a mistake in a riff or solo etc!

But my main question is... has anyone else got it, or used one before and did I really get a bargain for £20, I'm assuming I did as it's Mackie and it seems like it can do a lot for £20.

Doing it in iTunes is easy.

Goto Edit > Preferences

On the first tab, look to where it says 'Import Settings' then select 'MP3' under the 'Import Using' dropdown menu. Then press Ok and then Ok again.

Now right click the song you want to convert, and select, 'Create MP3 version', once it's converted/created it, right click the new track. On a windows pc it says 'Show In Windows Explorer' so I'm guessing on a Mac it will say 'Show in Finder' or something similar, click that... and ta-da there you have it!

First off, this is not a way of advertising my new first post, it's just at the bottom it says I have 1 comment, yet when I click the link, it doesn't actually have a comment on there?

Is this a known error? Was it something to do with the China April Fools joke that caused it cause I posted it just before the switch over so I dunno if it might of glitched or what?

It's already April 1st here already in England, competition closed :P

Think this is more suited there mate.

I thought ejay was just loops that you put together? I remember getting a demo version years and years ago in a pack of cereal, so unless it's changed over the years, I wouldn't post any music you make from it to the AP as it's not your work buddy.

its amazing that you made a front page post for this

i personally think you should do little random posts like this more often

I just have a quick question, I know the deadline is April 1st, but I was just wondering how long after that it would be before the winner is decided by the judges?

nicely placed angry faic

well done

What's the name of the track so I can search for it myself?

Well your friend is pretty screwed then, cause there's no way he's going to finish the task at hand with such a shit explanation.

I have no idea what your talking about, so please explain in a bit more detail so I can answer your question.

Foamy and the Neurotically Yours animations where always shit, ALWAYS! They weren't even remotely funny, just plain annoying and very, very poorly animated.

I'm glad that the majority of people don't care about it anymore, maybe llwillpress will soon get the message that they need to improve and actually make decent animations to become popular again.
