    [Solaria] Tide of Time [SynthV]

    Above is my final vocal synth song. The lyrics were originally going to be written by someone else, but in the end I wound up writing them myself. I hate writing lyrics, and the process took about ten days of struggle. Lyric writing isn't something I want to be doing. And I'm also tired of...

    Question How to start off use of DAW?

    My recommendation would be to give a schwackload of DAWs a try and see which one best suits your personal needs and workflow. It is entirely possible that you may want to switch to a different DAW as you gain experience, but worry about switching when—or if—that moment arrives.

    [Solaria] Untitled 2022 [SynthV]

    Look at that video thumbnail. It's gorgeous! Or maybe not... I had fun using the Dall-E AI image generator to make the "paintings" for this video. Their inherent goofiness fits the song. My original intention was to use far more paintings, but Dall-E wore my patience a little thin. In other...

    Have any of you used an AI image generator? I'm wanting to use one to create images for an upcoming music video, but I have no experience. All I know is that they exist. Any recommendations?

    How Audio Works/Avoiding Clipping

    Never be afraid to lower the volume of your tracks. Most modern DAWs and plugins work in 64-bit floating point, which essentially gives you 52 bits of resolution for every 6 db of signal. This means you can go very quiet without losing information.

    How Audio Works/Avoiding Clipping

    How long is the crash tail? If it's 100% gone by the 15 second mark then something else might be at play. The master bus is a literal sum of all your tracks, and if they were all playing exactly the same thing at exactly the same time, then the result would be very loud. It's just basic...

    Question Using Vocal-synths as a beginner

    We all start out as beginners. Experts are the people that never gave up.

    Uh oh, it looks like Reaper finally clicked with someone. Could this be a sign of the end times? One thing about Reaper is if you don't like how something behaves, there's likely a way to change that behaviour. Which is kind of a problem because since I've started using Reaper I've gradually...

    Here's a free and newly updated VST2 saturation plugin for Windows users: https://varietyofsound.wordpress.com/2022/09/13/tesslapro-mkiii-released/ I've given it a bit of trial run and I do like the results. Subtle but effective.

    SynthV Synthesizer V Discussion Thread

    This is similar to Reaper. Release versions are made available on the main website, and development versions are made available on a separate, bare bones, utilitarian website. Not quite the same method, but the intent and result are identical. (And just in case anyone's curious, the...

    Examining Anatomy Mistakes in Vocal Synth Art for Fun and Profit

    Reminds me of The Ultramind, the greatest evil genius in the history of evil geniuses. (If for some strange reason the timestamp doesn't work, skip ahead to 7:25 to see The Ultramind in action.)
