    my flac's from Bleep are fucked. tried downloading multiple times now.

    can anyone check theirs, from whatever source? listen to Goodbye Renaldo, for example, around 4 secs. and 12-13 secs. various glitches like that.

    weird, youtube music version has it too.

    Strange.  Mine sound OK at those places(double-checked with headphones).  Got them directly from Bleep, as well. 

  2. I just picked up an FX Aid XL from Happy Nerding.  I didn't have much interest in it until I saw some comparison videos with the Strymon Big Sky, which I was saving up for as a 'someday' reverb:

     

    I'm still playing with this thing, but it sounds fantastic.  Highly recommended.  

  3. 3 tracks on here I enjoyed on the first listen(Slade Treacher, Blauwasser, and Strawberry Aero).  I'm also in the boat that most of these didn't grab me right away, but I'm ancient, and hardly anything totally grabs me right away anymore.

    The 303 clone stuff is so cool because it’s awesome exploiting that tone.

    Yea absolutely.  It's great to do 'modular only' stuff like FM to the 303 filter.  As for the VCF303, do you typically utilize the envelopes and accents, or just use outside envelopes to the CV in?  I should give it another try, or maybe just sell it.  

    Also very much agree on the pro-1(which you can mount in eurorack, so I'm counting it haha).  Fantastic for basslines, and the modulation possibilities are amazing, even without the additional CV stuff along the top.  I've never had an original, but I've always wanted one after hearing some samples on Ed DMX's studio page back in the day.

  5. Here's mine:

    I also have the OSC303 and VCF303!  That being said, I never seem to be able to get a good sound out of the VCF303.  In fact, I have much more luck with the Doepfer a103.  I do love the sound of the OSC303, though.  Not just for acid.  If you feed it into a spring reverb at a really high register, you get this almost slide guitar sound.  It's pretty great, IMO.

    Possibly, I got it knowing it can do a bunch of different things without taking up too much space. Interested in mainly using its audio effects. 

    Speaking of audio effects, any recommendations for a good delay and/or reverb? 

    I mostly use dedicated non-euro stuff for reverb and effects, but one thing I really love is the a199 spring reverb.  I do also have a Pico DSP, which is fine, but not amazing.  There's lots of Clouds(and Clouds clones) all over the place with the arrival of Beads, and that has a pretty great reverb/delay sound too.

  7. Solid setup!   Plenty of VCAs, and it's hard to go wrong with Maths.  You may end up needing more buffered mults in the future(or at least I did).   Definitely look into getting an Ornament and Crime, as well.  I just picked up my 2nd(to install Hemispheres), and it is incredible, imo.  Maths is super versatile, but o_c is the Shang Tsung of Eurorack modules.   One other relatively cheap thing I can recommend is the Behringer Neutron.   It's super dense with functionality, and actually sounds really good with a modular system.

  8. I thought Returnal looked and sounded silly when it was announced, but after watching a gameplay trailer, decided to give it a try.  It's kind of a rogue-like/Metroid/bullet hell thing, but it really clicked with me.  It may be worth waiting until some shitty bugs are ironed out, and the developers may cave and add a save system, which would make things more convenient, but overall it's excellent.  Once it's patched a bit, I'd definitely recommend it.

    I feel like the melodic stuff could be a bit louder in the mix. What kind of levels are u hitting ?

    You know, compared to the other elements, I wonder if the higher notes from the original maybe didn't get a little buried.  I'm gonna check it out in a bit. Thx.

    Frikken' love it. Really groovy!!! That acid squelchy bit is awesome and we'll danceable!!! Great job!!!

    Hell yeah.  I'm glad you liked it.  These have kind of been taking forever lately, but I'm glad some people are checking it out.

    Really like the 0:51 where the pad cuts out. Goes from mellow atmospheric, then gets serious, then gets more serious at 1:26 and my head really starts bangin'. Then…I go on the journey all over again.

    Nice Freddy!

    Thanks! I took the suggestion from @brian trageskin and created a "B" to the "A" from the older version.  It's sort of a loud/quiet/loud thing, but it works much better than the old version imo.  I'd love to get better at adding even more ideas, but even getting something that felt like it fit took some time.

    anybody want to  make a list of good 32 bit vsts?

    Chimera and the Bionic Delay plugs are the main reason I have jBridge.  Also I found the original dBlue Glitch easier to work with than the 2nd version, because the random steps repeat in the same way at the same time for each playthrough(unless you play with the total length of the track).  I used stick it on a drum track, then render the parts that sound cool and ditch the rest.

    i guess you could call that ABAB form or something. gerald donald did that all the time and it worked wonders: 

    Good thought.  I was kind of resigned to let this one go, but I'll see if I can't parse it out a bit and add a second section.
