@mysticvibes: nobody's been DQ'd for distortion in the year I've been in OSC, and there have been both heavy and light uses of bitcrushers, including last month's #2 track. I say include it; that way, if the mods start clamping down on distortion uses, we'll both be DQ'd this month.

I used tube & amp sims pretty heavily. Goa kind of requires distortion, to the point that I almost wouldn't recognize a dry 101, which puts it well within the spirit of the rules IMHO

Indeed, the rules end up being a bit fluid; I definitely think distortion on an SH-101 is somewhat expected.

I look forward to the day when all effects are allowed!

Is it allowed to use sidechain in ReaComp for the contest?

Yep. To make sure you stay legit, I suggest you just send the output of something from a TAL bassline plugin to the sidechain input (e.g. don't use samples or something for triggering it).

It is only necessary to send signal from channel with kick(tal-bassline) to bass(reacomp). I didn't understand your advice.

Sounds fine, then.

It's nice. Can I use automation in effects?

Absolutely! Use as much automation as you want.

I'm going to have to bow out of this one. Got some decent sounds, but discovered half-way through the month that I hated what I had written, so I started over from scratch. Life just got too busy with putting in a lot of hours at work, four kids' birthdays this month, etc.

Good luck to all who are entering! The OSC crowd has boatloads of creativity, and I look forward to hearing everyone's tracks!

So where's yours then Z????

EDM? Pumping bass, banging kick and crashing percs? Or a slow subtle moody ambient?

Waiting ....
