Here you go.

Pulsing Bulb ft. Lew Lepton - When I Was Young

https://open.audio/library/tracks/111221/

Slightly revised from the version I posted on rocket.chat, now with 100% Airwindows effects.

Made with:
Ardour and Audacity
Yoshimi, Red Zeppelin Drumkit, and MDA Piano

and all these Airwindows effects:
Acceleration2
BassAmp
BassKit
Baxandall
Biquad2
BrightAmbience
ButterComp2
Channel9
ChorusEnsemble
Compressaturator
Console7Channel/Buss
DeBess
EQ
HardVacuum
Highpass2
IronOxide5
Mojo
Recurve
Reverb
Srsly2
Tape
TapeDelay

I started recording some live bass guitar, but ran into problems and just sequenced it in the end. The only recorded parts are the vocals, by Lew Lepton.

This is also entered in the Fedivision Song Contest, which is why I went for this style, and why I was able to recruit a singer. You have about 24 hours from the time of this post to vote in that contest, should you wish to do so. You'll need a Fediverse account (Mastodon or similar), and this thread:

Perhaps you lot have more taste :lol:

The artist list I have this time is:

1108 Redux
5D Yogi
ADubs
LAM
MyLoFy
Nyx Eles
Pulsing Bulb
SahaaThyva
sg75

Please tell me if anyone's missing or spelt wrong.

Hi, if it's not too late.. 'Adubs' should be GMaq... 'Adubs' was just a name for the mix.. as in A Dubble U (W) as in airwindows... wasn't that clever..? :lol: :roll:

@GMaq i hacked a mp3 with a random soundcloud downloader, it would be better with your mixdown as mp3 for sure.

I will upload the mp3 version and as soon as you provide me yours i will replace it with.

Wow! This has been quite a different styles rich challenge, all the submission are incredibly good! :D

I'm sure many of us have discovered many new toys to play with after this! :lol:

I tried to give higher votes to the submissions with a better Airwindows FXs usage and original ideas.

Here are my votes:

Code: Select all

+-------------------+----------------------------------------+-------+
| Artist            | Track                                  | Score |
+-------------------+----------------------------------------+-------+
| 1108 Redux        | こんにちはAirwindowsのChrisです  |  3.5  | I like the retro sound, lose some interest after a while
+-------------------+----------------------------------------+-------+
| 5D Yogi           | May                                    |  4.5  | Not a fan of this kind of Trance, but this is a Pro level AW FXs use, great! :)
+-------------------+----------------------------------------+-------+
| GMaq              | Funktionality                          |   4   | This is a great track, a pity I can't hear much AW FXs in this, could be a merit for some :P
+-------------------+----------------------------------------+-------+
| LAM               | HGT                                    |   -   |
+-------------------+----------------------------------------+-------+
| NyxEles           | March of the warriors                  |  4.5  | Great atmosphere and synth vibes, rich of different moments, I like it
+-------------------+----------------------------------------+-------+
| MyLoFy            | Windows into the air                   |   4   | Another very good track from the LMC master, this time didn't surprise me though, at least i can hear some AW FXs :)
+-------------------+----------------------------------------+-------+
| Pulsing Bulb      | When i was young                       |   4   | Love the drumming, the noisy synth in the backgound, the vocals and the overall idea
+-------------------+----------------------------------------+-------+
| Sahaathyva        | 04:30Am (A-Side)                       |   5   | Instant ambient classic, everything is almost perfect, my favourite <3
+-------------------+----------------------------------------+-------+
| Sg75              | CPU Efficiency                         |  4.5  | The synths are amazing, bassline is catchy, great use of AW FXs
+-------------------+----------------------------------------+-------+
