This is my first track and I'm happy with the result. I've met a lot of really cool people here already and they've helped me a lot. In this one I created my own library with a drum maching and 2 effects pedals. I this used 2 machiniste to help me lay the sounds out as it's much easier to play with than a standard drum machine. I then played around with a Pulv until I got a sound I could live with. I'm not 100% certain about the result but I like the overall effect for my first time. I then added additional percussin track for the intro and endind and some background synths which add a nice density to the sound if you listen closely. In my opinion this soung sounds better with a low volume and the bass up a little or at higher volumes with the bass lower than for most tracks. This is my favourite way to listen to the track as you can hear the subltle sounds more clearly. I hope this song is half as enjoyable to listen to as it was to make. Thanks to everyone for your support throughout my brief time here at audiotool. *Starz*

  • i have this one faved allready :)

  • Really good job on your first track! :) I like it. The title suits this. It has a very mysterious vibe.

  • thanks for the plug Greyjoy (v.d.) :). I can't second looking up info on synths in general enough. I picked up so much from that and at least was able to break down the pulve to experiment better.

    Also, am I the only one who doesn't speak italian on here? It's not like I haven't learned other languages, I've just given up on trying to remember them/re-learn :P

  • Gracie Cripta. Hai sentito il template?

    Thanks Greyjoy. Those are very good tips. Witth my new track I'm just starting at the bottom and working my way up. I'm starting to understand a few things but your tips should help me out a lot.

  • Haha, this has become more of a chat-board than a track. Best advice I could give you for the pulverisateur is to not just look at other peoples set-ups for it but to find on the internet info on synth's. Sometimes I think people on audiotool forget that the pulv works on similar principles to quite a few other synth's and following advice for others synths can lead you to create a similar (yet also quite different) sound on the pulv. Furthermore, to really get some unique sounds you should use the sync button (just underneath the second oscillator). Turn it on then experiment with different wave-forms and tuning for osc 1 and 2.

    To find some great pad sounds open tracks by enjoyyourshoes and for awesome lead designs open tracks by Astrum or Kepz. And finally, to learn a hell of allot about how to mix and eq a track, open any of infyuthsions tracks and experiment with the pEq's he uses. Then if you ever have a question about anything, ask Arche3.0 who I think is the most helpful person you could find audiotool.

    Hope I've been helpful :)

  • bella come prima traccia :)

  • Sorry but works has started up again along with school and my time is limited. Most of my chatting is from work where I can't work on tracks but I prefer this to facebook. I'm currently working on a second sond and a possible alternative version of the same song but as I decided to focus on learning the pulv and my time is more limited it's taking me longer than the first track as I was still on holiday when I made that one. I'm also working on a remix for the experience and to change things up from my style. I see remixes as the oppurtunity to try something different and that's what Im doing. I hope to be able to get a large piece done this weekend as happened one day with this track but we'll see. I won't be one to make songs every week for sure but they are always in progress.

  • hey starz, you are chatty!! haha. takes me more time to read your comment then listen to your song hahaha just kiddin' i know you can handle it... but i know and i can hear you are a music man, so stop chatting for one day ;-) and make your next song...i am looking forward to it. it's cool to meet so many people all around the world with the same voice here on audiotool, that;s the magic for me, learning from others and listen to great musicians and there insights. good to know you!

  • I said it was rhetorical. xD

  • @Jonjon , arche3.0, Starz, How often does a big conversation happen like this? xD (Rhetorical)

  • Oh that's for certain. It's all tied together mate.

  • chatty helps. before we had the ability to see posts from those we follow, that was one of the major ways to get noticed - notice others. I'll still never forget when Jonjon wrote something on one of my tracks (sanitorium I think). And when Andre favorited a track of mine for the first time (Innocence). Touching base with others helps - the karma thing as you've mentioned before :)

  • Searching through the library is a pain-
