DSF VSTi Contest #1!

[silkpantsman]

if any1 is using a mac and re routing the plugins gimme a shout having trouble trying to figure out how to do this...using VFX 1.1 maschine mac download.

[Recessive Trait]

yeah, i've pretty much thrown in the towel. made a cool beat, but just not feeling elec7ro or any of the plugs (nor getting any love from them). can't make anything that doesn't sound like a fart taking a shit. i might post up my beat, maybe with a little progression, but if i can't apply myself 100% to a project, there isn't much sense in me continuing. disappointed as i was pretty stoked about the contest.

anyone know of an elec7ro tutorial that isn't "justice bass on elec7r0" only to make a "bass" that not even justice's farting shits would use?

[constrobuz]

elec7ro sucks dick

[paravrais]

I'm loving this comp now, once I got into it I started getting some really good ideas!

[faultier]

just to make sure i didnt misunderstand the rules, lets say i made a synth line with elek7ro and exported it as audio, can i chop, reverse and/or timestretch it.

ie does the second rule only applies to the drum pack and break or to any sound made with the pack provided ?

[paravrais]

You can use your sampler to capture, stretch, re-pitch, reverse, or chop the samples, but using native DAW/sampler processing to do anything like bandpassing, phasing, flanging, chorusing, gating, compressing, reverb, delay, etc. is not allowed*.

That will apply to anything you put into a sampler. Basically at no point can you use ANY effects or synths or samples other than those provided. You can resample but you cant resample and then decide you can do whatever you like to that audio, you still have to only use the designated effects pack to alter it!!

nice contest idea. where do we submit/post?

[jaydot]

I'm down for this shit.

[apastrat]

cool, might get on this.

edit: one question though. is looping in sampler allowed/can i use another program for finding looping points?

Personally I assumed it wasn't allowed as your essentially creating a wavetable synth then and it will significantly reduce your need to use the electro ting which is the whole point of the exercise. Final say is down to alphacat though. Trust me, you really don't *need* to do that though, the provided synth is plenty powerful enough.

[JemGrover]

got pretty psyched up for this and also found it quite uninspiring for Dubstep, but givin' it another go with quite an abstract type thing.
Effects are pretty tame though...

yeah he didn't specify, but uploading it somewhere and sending the link via pm is standard for the DSF sample comp. So fair assume the same method here.

tell me about it. i'm not even sure which end is up.

[nowaysj]

Seriously though, what is the confusion, it's a little simple 2 osc synth. Its got sync and sub oscs, that's as exotic as it gets.

i just can't get it to sound good. i'm too used to massive, i think.
