Very nice track! I'd just like the stereo separation of the strings to be a bit less extreme.

Thank you! I'll keep the panning in mind.

Red Swamp

Here's a more atmospheric track I've done as part of a Song a Week Challenge. Bandcamp: https://tenaba.bandcamp.com/track/red-swamp Youtube: https://youtu.be/ltSzTTxvrYI There are no samples or real instruments in this song, everything is synthesized with Surge XT. Other than that, I used REAPER and...

Hey Tenaba, I've always thought you a very talented musician. This, of course, confirms my thoughts, it's exceptional! Please don't stop sharing your music with us :D

Very kind of you to say! I've slowed down a bit with making music recently, but hopefully I can keep making new songs.

space is pretty big

Hi everyone, I found a challenge on another board to create a song in one week, and decided to try it out since I haven't made any music lately. I've really started to like using Surge XT, everything in this song other than the guitars use Surge. The guitars use Guitarix. x42's plugins are also grea...

Re: Drop-D (Matteo Mancuso duet solo challenge)

Thanks! For the phrasing I tried to borrow something from the backing track too, like when I mirror the arpeggio that comes in towards the end. The ascending run is a cheap trick I use often, and just takes advantage of the fact the fingers shape remains the same :mrgreen: It's something lazy guita...

Re: escape velocity -- instrumental melodic tech death metal

Very nice riffing, I only listen to a bit of tech now and then, but I liked this. The snare is a bit loud, but otherwise very nice!

Re: Axiom (EP)

Always crazy how fast you release new content. And I can see you've made good use of the HaNon VST I have to say I like Armadillo the best. Just really nice lead work and a great rhythm for the main riff. What did you use for the instrument that gains focus at around 1:08? I really like it. The titl...

Re: [Eleanor Forte] Tenaba - Rest and Wait (2023)

Nice re-arrangement! Compared to the previous version maybe the vocals are a bit too upfront, but that's very likely a matter of personal taste (and I'm known not to have great taste! :mrgreen: ) I've tinkered with Surge myself a few times, but never too much, maybe because in the past it tended to...

Re: [Eleanor Forte] Tenaba - Rest and Wait (2023)

Hi @Tenaba , Iit's funny, I didn't have to find the old version on Youtube, I had it saved on disk. The comparison alone is fun. I much prefer your new production over all. Seeing that the original version was on hand should tell you how much I enjoyed that. The new vocals sound even more natural, ...

Re: [Eleanor Forte] Tenaba - Rest and Wait (2023)

Nice, but the original already was! Thanks, glad to hear you like the original as well! Is that kick Geonkick? I like it! All in all, this is a very good song! As I run MusE DAW I can't use VST3 which is the only version of Surge XT (maybe also CLAP). So I only run Surge 1.7.1. But still I haven't ...

Really nice! I'm unfamiliar with jazz, but I enjoyed the album. Very good mixing and dynamics.

[Eleanor Forte] Tenaba - Rest and Wait (2023)

Hey everyone, I've completely remade one of my older songs. It's called Rest and Wait, and it's the first song I did with Synthesizer V. The software's come a long way, so I've been meaning to do this for quite a while. The lyric video is here on Youtube: https://youtu.be/3qFsMF0_nEY You can also li...
