Single Tracks – Page 38 – chunter music collection

The DSK plugins tax my poor laptop’s CPU so badly that I decided to make a terse solo piano piece. Sixteen tracks later, it became this. I created it by soloing the tracks as I went, then rendering to test the mix, over and over.

Drums are from mini drumZ if I remember right, the VST disappeared when I optimized.

I’m actually very happy with the result I got from this. I used automation on some of the VST parameters to control decays and bends and such in ways I never could with midi sequencers, and if they’re paying attention, I bet the DSK plugins wouldn’t be so bad on my PC if they didn’t have all those effects on them (which I shut off anyway!)

This tune won SounDevotion Competition Round 39!

Enjoy.

The simplest VSTs always end up being the most versatile, to me, because they are not crowded in their own effects. The sound and tone of Medusa is really nice!

The goal of this Battle of the Bits contest was to make a piece using only a single VST, which was the single-oscillator (and unfiltered and un-reverbed) VSTi called Medusa.
