EDIT: concerning to that it is not allowed as we said no synths! but i might be completely wrong as i have no clue about granular synthesis...

Well granular synthesis is not synthesis in the classical sense. It just takes a sample and splits it up in tiny pieces, so the audio becomes more "elastic". The Ableton Live timestretch funciton works like this, so timestretching the sample would be applying a basic "granular synthesis" to it.
I'd say its just "advanced sampling". NI Kontakt is also capable of doing granular processing.

alright jade_monkey! then do so!

Ehm, what about effects, like the ones which come with Ableton or Reason?

I would think its okay (mainly because one of my main riffs was used by adding an alien effect from Magix to one of the samples! lol)

It's not using a synth but applying a preset present to the audio by changing pitch... etc.

of course they are allowed! JUST NO SYNTHS!

i think the real issue is no original audio sources. alter the shit out of what marty gave you, but dont make any new original sounds. i would hope running samples through synths to process is okay as long as you arent creating oscillators/patches and then playing it like an instrument..

effects are definitely cool to the game, digital or analog, outboard or software

I propose that Forensics is only allowed to enter if he produces with both hands tied and a hangover.

less than 12 days left ladies and gentlemen!

I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to use VSTi's, just a heads up.

I'm sure the rest of ya probably know this already, but just in case you didn't- VST's (Virtual Studio Technology) are the broader term you were probably looking for, for what it matters.

A VSTi is specifically a VST instrument, i.e. it generates sound in some way, while VST effects like reverb would not be considered a VSTi.

-or-

All VSTi's are VST's, but not all VST's are VSTi's.


Snarf.

Still possible to get a pm for the link to the pack? I didn't notice this thread until recently...

i haven't felt motivated to make a beat in a while, but i'm fucking with this for sure lol
