Re: Instrument definition for Tchimera Drumkit

I think it may be wiser to keep it in his project for now. The IDF file, all by itself in MusE, may not be of much use without the rest of his project. That makes sense, because this drum kit is just my pet project. It also gives me the ability to make adjustments to the key map and keep the file i...

Re: Instrument definition for Tchimera Drumkit

How much trouble is it for people to use the file if it's bundled in the project?

Re: Sfizz build size of plugin

Hereby I conclude that the monetary cost of storage is of no relevance to my preference for smaller file sizes. Fair enough. In a day when there exist an abundance of saturation plugins, free and proprietary, I find myself spending hours developing my own saturation plugin. Why? I don't know. I am ...

Re: Sfizz build size of plugin

Um... In a day when you can easily get a 1TB SSD for under $100... well, draw your own conclusions.

Re: Guidance on DAW selection for 2024

For mixed audio and midi tracks, one of Ardour, Qtractor, or Reaper might work well for you.

Re: Guidance on DAW selection for 2024

What kind of music are you making? Would you have more of a focus on recorded audio, or midi tracks?

Re: Instrument definition for Tchimera Drumkit

Maybe hi hat splashes are naturally quieter than hitting it with the sticks?

Can I help somehow in this? I am not a programmer though...

If you have graphic design skills, that would help because I'm not great at that. Other than that, maybe one of these days you can test a beta release of a saturation plugin that I'm making.

Scream Tracker (PC)

Whoa, I forgot about this. I arranged a thing or two in scream tracker, but I lost anything I ever did with it.

Not sure if this goes in this topic but these are great plugins and maybe dead. https://github.com/miland3r/eq10q Thanks funkmuscle , that's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for.

Sounds much better!

Thanks for the feedback. I already put a lot of work into testing and adjusting the volume of the other cymbal samples, but I don't really use the splash sound with my play style, so I missed it.

Re: Your first DAW !

I wish I had started on the Atari ST, but as a 7-year-old kid I only wondered what those five-pin circles were on the back, and then went back to playing my games. Years later, with a 486 50mHz machine, my parents bought a midi keyboard and MusicTime.

Re: CALF plugins?

I have experimented with some plugins (I'm thinking mainly reverb) that I actually thought sounded a bit better than Calf, but used Calf instead because it was laid out in a way that I found easier to understand. What plugins are you thinking of that sound better but ate harder to understand? I am ...

Re: Instrument definition for Tchackpoum Kit

Done and done. I fixed "Kick Free".

I investigated the hihat splash samples, and found that they were recorded that way. I don't know why they turned out so quiet, but I agree with your assessment so I increased the volume by 8dB gain.
