A little refinement of my cover for In The Night (Pet Shop Boys / Arthur Baker). As with writing, revisiting music after a break is the best way for me to spot problems more objectively.

Did I mention how I loathe finding the rhythm for offbeat cowbells? It's good when it's done. This isn't done.

A couple of instruments are not Surge; I added Emulator II to the strings, and added the free "DPinga congas" plugin.

This is kind of dumb shit, layers of presets on surge xt by inigo kennedy, with 3 of those being with some grain distortion plugin next to it. But it sounds nice. Only peak limiter on master channel.

I'm not used to even thinking about tuning while using electronic instruments. It's something I have had to get used to when using #analog_synthesizers So when I recorded my #Moog Mother 32 for the above, especially leaving room for a collab, I realized I had better make sure it was as in tune as possible! I ran it through an FX pedal and then added some FM glitter from #surgeXT
#surgeXT 's Twist oscillator behaves a lot like Mutable Instruments' Braids, and for this project, I discovered Particle noise!! More crackling comes from having patched the #Moog #matriarch 's two LFOs into its DC-coupled mixer. Then, the shared sample fragments were put into Short Circuit XT.
Got my youngest set up with #SurgeXT synth on his Linux desktop and he's happily messing with virtual knobs neither of us understand well enough. He had a lovely sound with some delay going and the others decided it sounded like the game #Veloren so now they're all playing that.

I can get excited about some tools more than others

A few weeks ago I found a bag with old #cassette tapes and discovered recordings from the early #90s mostly myself endlessly jamming on the #guitar. One riff was not even terrible, so I sampled it and made a track out of it in @ardour , with #geonkick , #surgext and a ton of other #FOSS plugins, all to participate in the @libremusicchallenge
Hope you enjoy it, not sure my past self would have approved...

Tape Treasure by MyLoFy • Audius

Recently I have re-discovered a big bag full of old cassette tapes. Some of them were full of endless guitar jam recordings done by myself in the early 90s. A few ideas weren't that terrible, so I recorded one riff in Ardour, then tuned and incorporated the sample into this track. So basically, I was jamming with my young self. Not sure I would have liked the end result back then, but it was fun. Done in Ardour 8 and 9 with the following plugins: CNT | TYPE | NAME 4 * LV2 ACE Compressor (stereo) (by Ardour Community) 2 * LV2 Dragonfly Hall Reverb (by Michael Willis and Rob vd Berg) 17 * LV2 LSP Parametric Equalizer x16 Stereo (by LSP LV2) 6 * VST3 Surge XT (by Surge Synth Team) 5 * LV2 x42 Instrument Tuner (by Robin Gareus) 1 * LV2 B.Choppr (by Sven Jaehnichen) 1 * LV2 DR-14 - Crest Factor Loudness Range Meter (Stereo) (by Robin Gareus) 1 * VST3 Wolf Shaper (by Patrick Desaulniers) 1 * LV2 x42-dpl - Digital Peak Limiter Stereo (by Robin Gareus) 1 * LV2 LSP Compressor Stereo (by LSP LV2) 1 * LV2 ZL Equalizer (by ZL) 4 * LV2 AIDA-X (by AIDA DSP) 1 * LV2 LSP Sidechain Multiband Compressor Stereo x8 (by LSP LV2) 1 * LV2 EBU R128 Meter (by Robin Gareus) 5 * Lua ACE High/Low Pass Filter (by Ardour Community) 1 * LV2 GxTuner (by Hermann Meyer) 1 * VST2 Galactic (by airwindows) 1 * VST3 Spectral Compressor (by Robbert van der Helm) 1 * LV2 QDelay (by Tilr) 1 * LV2 BrightAmbience3 (by Hannes Braun) 1 * LV2 Dragonfly Plate Reverb (by Michael Willis) 2 * LV2 ZaMultiCompX2 (by Damien Zammit) 9 * LV2 LSP Parametric Equalizer x16 Mono (by LSP LV2) 1 * LV2 Odin2 (by TheWaveWarden) 2 * VST3 Airwindows Consolidated (by Airwindows) 2 * LV2 ACE Expander (by Ardour Community) 3 * LV2 ACE Compressor (by Ardour Community) 1 * LV2 ToTape5 (by Hannes Braun) 1 * LV2 Geonkick (by Iurie Nistor)
