Yup, remove it, however there are DEFINITELY ways to make shockingly good vinyl sounds using synths - so check that out - you might have to layer 2 Synth1 tracks though - a distorted crackle (possibly with a tight bandpass filter), and a white noise track.

Good luck! :tu:

For crackle.
Just use oscillator 2 for white noise and
2 lfo's(random cycle) both modulating amp 100% fastest speed.

Effects add
a.d.1 with
ctl1 = minimum
ctl 2 to taste.

We just submitted the final draft of our track Hopfen und Malz (Rich Draft) to SoundCloud.

https://soundcloud.com/ruedirena/ruedir ... rich-draft


Can't see the player above? Listen/download here!

DAW: Reaper
Synth1: 22 instances, most patches made from scratch, some tweaked presets, strings are a fantastic original preset (Oldschool Strings from Chris' soundbank)
Track FX: MAutopan on some leads, Maxwell Smart Limiter and KarmaFX EQ on the E-piano arps to get rid of one or two extremely nasty spikes in the second octave (saving your ears!).
Master FX: A tiny bit of space added by TAL Reverb III as if this was recorded in a medium sized room, KarmaFX Equalizer to cut those low frequencies under 50 Hz, ClipStar to add a bit of tuby warmth to the mix, Maxwell Smart Limiter, JS dcRemove.

Synth1 is easily the best synth since OSC 49: Fabfilter Twin2. Lots of fun. A keeper!

Yes,it's great. Not being around at OSC49 - still a newbie, I'll believe you! It's a remarkable beast - covers pretty much any sound you could wish for. Even the built in FX are not too awful either.

Cool track by the way - did I hear some formant stuff :hihi: ???

Good luck

I finally got to test out my mix on the 8 track stereo in my buddy's El Camino. It passed the mix check, so here's my submission for the month.

A bit about the song - while in Brasil (Rio) a few years ago for Carnaval, there are bloco's - block parties all over Rio with a local samba band on a platform on the back of a pickup truck - usually just a singer, a Brasilian ukulele, maybe a bass guitar through an amp, and all kinds of people marching behind playing various Brasilian percussion instruments. And for anyone that's never heard samba from a samba school, it's ALL about the snare drum. So this song is quite snare heavy, but overall very percussion heavy, with some nice organ, and a ukulele-like delayed sound and some dreamy pads.

Very nice sounding song, I like it! Sounds so clear.

Just discovered OBXD freeware OB-X emulation synth for OSX and Windows ( http://obxd.wordpress.com )... Wow, this synth is so awesome retro-/80s-like! I wish this was the one for OSC69 :)

I fear this will not happen. OBDX was OSC#61.

Do a search on soundcloud for "One Synth Challenge #68" then join the group. Once you've done so and been accepted, do an "Add to Group" from your song and specify that group.

Then, add it to this thread, including all the information in the rules: DAW, number of synth instances, number and name of effects used, etc.

Thanks, my track is awaiting moderation. once its accepted (assuming it is of course) how do you embed the track within a message like you and others have done ?
