I wish to evoke a sense of space travel, transcendental meditation, and spatial imagery.

I was heavily influenced by these fine releases.
- William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops
- Miles Davis - In A Silent Way
- Ebauche - Adrift
- Pink Floyd - BBC Archives 1974 (Dark Side of The Moon live SBD)

Thanks for listening and all your support.

That's a nice collection you have there Warren

Thank you. I'm always learning. Interesting to find so many other tools here (VSTs (Tantra etc..), various EQs I've never heard of)
I use the following instruments / techniques / FX on Spiralling Continuum

Synths:
U-He Zebra2
U-He ACE

Zoom H4N for 'found sounds'

FX/Sends
U-He Satin
U-He Uhbik-A

Mix Bus / Mastering
DYN4000 Compressor from OverToneDSP.co.uk
Focusrite LiquidMix Firewire External - running the API-2500 emulation

Did I mention I love U-He? heh.

[synkrotron]

Haha! Thanks for the info Warren, I wish more peeps here would post about how they create their pieces.

I've got a couple of u-he synths. My favourite being Hive. I have two of their free ones which I use from time to time, Zebralette and Podolski.

If I'm after a beat I will often reach for Tantra now, instead of using a drum synth.

My most recent purchase was yesterday... MMultiBandGranular :D

[warrendaly]

The wee Zebralette is very nice.Oh wow, I didn't even know about Podolski. Will definitely check that out (I don't have enough money to buy the filterscape just yet)

Have you tried the Tyrell N6 from U-he (it's Free) https://www.amazona.de/amazona-de-fr...-tyrell-n6-v3/
As impressive at the ACE & Zebra 2, can get some seriously impressive bass and pads that morph just like the Zebra2.
When I need drums I use Battery 3 but I'm most impressed by Polyplex and use that most of the time.. https://www.native-instruments.com/e...rums/polyplex/

[synkrotron]

Thanks for the heads-up on Tyrell. I'll have a look at that.

I'm a Battery 3 owner too, but I also have BFD Eco. On my track M81 I wanted a greater assortment of cymbal sounds so I used both Battery and BFD Eco.

But, more often than not nowadays, if I want "drums" to feature on one of my tunes I will turn to Drumaxx. Battery does have a selection of electronic drum kits, but I much prefer the physical modelling sounds provided by Drumaxx. And no more faffing around with samples

[warrendaly]

Thank you for the tip. I will check out Drumaxx. It's great fun to use a synth to create drum shots.
If I do use samples, I generally force them to 'sends only' and rinse them out using Reaktor ensembles such as Boscomac Dub delay, resonators found on the community library.
Chat soon.
