I couldn’t find a thread like this, so why not? Here is a place to share your musical creations.
@Dan0h wanted to hear some of my Minibrute 2 into the Aion Isotope I described in the stacking thread:
Track is made on Ableton 10 Lite. The synth sequence is an Arturia Minibrute 2, both oscillators set to sawtooth waves, and the filter cutoff patched to a slow tempo synced LFO for some hand free variation.
It’s run into an Aion Isotope, based on part of the IVP Tubesound Preamp unit. Gain maxed, Level set accordingly. I fiddle with the Bass and Treble knobs throughout. For example, when the drums drop and the guitar comes in I turn Bass up and Treble all the way down, then gradually reverse that motion. At the very end when the drums stop, I leave the pedal maxed start turning the Cutoff and Resonance on the synth. The synth track is dry in the DAW except for the reverb automated into the very last note at the end.
The guitar part is my Dean Hardtail into my pedal board, with the PPCB Defouler Distorion and my vero Mr. Black Boost Tiger clone (for volume) run into my interface, and no amp sims or other effects except for the Overloud Gem Mod (a Dimension D style plugin). It’s a cool sound, kind of hollow and whispery, with almost no attack dynamic. I had to cut this track down to one part that loops twice, because my original jam inconsistent.
The drums are two kits: the default Ableton 707 effected with a Waves Bezerk distortion plugin for some punch and crunch.
The other is a kit I built as needed for the track, mostly the default 505 samples and a random clave for that one part. This track has some modulation plugin on it… I forgot what it’s called but I was trying it out for the first time to give the clave something extra and it ended up staying on the whole time. It also has Ableton’s reverb with a slightly tweaked medium hall preset.
The only other thing is the PG-8x synth plugin, used for a single sustained note when the guitar comes in.
I am very much a noob at all of this, so I used just the maximizer in Ozone Elements to keep the level in check. Other than the chorus on the guitar, it’s a pretty mono track. I just wanted to tweak the jam into something fun so I didn’t go too deep with panning percussion or anything.
So with all the info no one asked for, feel free to leave some feedback and share your own stuff!
