Surprise I'm back to drop more garbage in this poor unfortunate forum,
You guys always have interesting criticism and I'm trying new things this year so tah dah
All out of all people I've shown these two to (I'm working on a small EP to see what happens) have liked it so don't worry, its been quality tested before I subjected any of you to it.
Edit: Oh and I'm not just some richardhead singing over beats that already exist, these are all 100% original stuff by me, no sampled guitars, and no untouched percussion samples lol

Games / Re: PUBG Or FORTNITE BR
« on: March 04, 2018, 11:26:07 AM »
Fortnite is for people who don't care about the immersion factor and seriousness, the movement mechanics, etc. PUBG recently made it so that the lobby matches you with people who also have a similar ping, fixing the "I got killed through a wall again" problem that we always had. You also can't play Fortnite in 1st person only so that's loving lame, corner camping is lame and that's 99% of the deaths you'll experience. Are they both fun? Duh of course. Does the price of PUBG exist for a reason, while Fortnite is free? .. obviously..

« on: March 04, 2018, 11:14:01 AM »All the things you described aren't unique to brown townog synths specifically, though; just hardware synths in general (which includes digital synths).All physical instruments have to be serviced at some point, that is definitely a given. The particular things, in the way that they apply to brown townog synths, that I described, are in fact particular to brown townog synths, if you know about brown townog synths. Naturally every synth is going to be different, brown townog physical, digital physical, digital software, they all have their own feels. Physical brown townog synthesizers most certainly have a particular aspect to them that not just any physical synthesizer has, especially vintage ones.
Something to keep in mind though is the fact that vintage synths (brown townog or otherwise) are most likely going to need to be serviced at one point, adding to the overall cost (unless you've found one that's already been serviced recently).

Very agreeable and I see your use case scenario. Like I said if you're /serious/ they're ideal. The price of an expensive, for good reason of course, guitar and amp is going to be equivalent to the price of a synthesizer of similar caliber. That also being said I myself wouldn't recommend getting anything new, to be completely honest, and to only look for deals on vintage Moog and Roland synths and the like. It's pointless to buy some new potato brown townog synth even if it sounds good because if it's brand new, it's just going to get out-manufacturered in 5 years and be worth significantly less, anyways, or it's a clone of something else that already exists, unlike a different physical instrument such as a guitar or piano, etc. If you're just looking to richard around in a DAW you don't need one, at all. I don't think anyone needs one to begin with.

« on: March 03, 2018, 06:01:22 PM »This, digital synths are nice and all but with an brown townog synth you can actually play the instrument and physically dial in the timbre. In high school I produced music exclusively using soft synths in FL studio, then I got an brown townog synth and I haven't touched digital in years. No harm in using soft synths but the tactile response and the thrill of live playing you get from brown townog is soooooo satisfying.Exactly. Bb you get it. Digital synths are totally great if you have a PC that's next-gen, but there's always going to be a next-gen. You're never going to catch up, there's always going to be something better that you can't exactly obtain. And this is coming from me who will literally layer over 20 VERY big, VERY high CPU usage synths with many many voices at a given instance in a track. Of course if you're just loving around, making really simplistic stuff, that's chill, you don't need anything crazy. But in that same regard, you can literally use any default synth in most of the modern DAWs.
Look at any vintage brown townog synth though, oh forget. There's a reason people like Mau5 and all the big, serious producers -- AND BANDS -- and the band's producers -- use them. And why we aim at reproducing their sounds, on digital synths, today. They have a shape, and a presence, and forget they're just so nice. They're timeless, and they are complete (enough.) You don't get that with digital.

« on: March 03, 2018, 05:50:16 PM »Who said anything about waves? Nexus has like a gazillion instruments, 10% of which are waves. Chiptune. And techno aren't the only genres of music made in FL studio or ableton. Nexus is great for finding good organic instrument sounds and configuring them to your liking with several mix presets, modulators and filters
I said anything about waves.
"A gazillion instruments" perhaps you mean a gazillion presets, all comprised of 4 different basic shapes and maybe idk I bet at max 16 other "non-standard waveforms" that are either x detune or y detune, with reverb or no reverb, etc etc bla bla bla. If you can't load / edit / what have you your own waves it's trash in 2018. It was really cool 10 years ago when everyone was making trance music on NewGrounds and while Hardstyle was still cool, but that was before Skrillex, Deadmau5 (recent styling), etc changed the mainstream electronic scene becoming EDM as it is today. Nexus is a huge gimmick in 2018. Nexus is not great for finding good "organic instrument sounds and configuring them to your liking" anywhere over something like Sylenth, or anything similar to it. Vanguard, Nexus, Sylenth, etc. At this point Sytrus has more power to it and that's a free default synth with FL. Harmor stuffs all over all of those synths. They do not work the same.
Perhaps you are new to this but I would really appreciate it if you'd listen to me by reading what I write instead of what you want to hear, thanks.
"Thats how versatile it is" Why would you use Nexus to make a sound, and pay all the money for it, when it's like 10+ GB of just presets -- I've been using Nexus for /ten years/ -- when you can use something that costs less, that has MORE capability, that can do the SAME thing, more efficiently, for less $? One reason you probably think you hear so many Nexus presets is because they are copied off of sounds that were already being used in popular music, before Nexus was released. That's why people wanted it so bad. It's just like how everyone wants Serum, and everone wanted Massive. They have, and can be used to make the popular sounds. That was the basis on which Nexus was marketed. You may be hearing "nexus presets" but before they were nexus presets they were presets for older synths, or just sounds that made it to the mainstream eye and then were adapted into Nexus because its synthesis engine only uses basic waveforms and doesn't support FM synthesis. As I said.
It's just funny that you would go to say "who said anything about waves" (for obvious reasons to begin with) but then go to talk about, apparently without realizing, exactly that.

If your tracks are ever actually finished, you're not human
also, Nexus blows. generally anything that doesn't have advanced synthesis methods like Serum (or kind of Massive) is a turd at this point and you're using all the same waves, all the time, in every synth you get, you're just paying or picking it for its presets and interface, which in the long run is virtually pointless. Serum is /the stuff/. I'd also recommend LuSH-101, it's big and serious and has a very warm, very real sound by default.
... also, short answer, should you get an brown townog synth, yes.......... it's incredibly more ideal if you're actually serious about what you're doing.
One, it won't require CPU load to play live or with MIDI sent to it whether you are at home or performing. Two, the brown townog synthesis methods are far superior to anything that is emulated or digitally produced through a softsynth, period (we just aren't there yet in the form of computing. maybe in a few years or so, definitely way closer than ~10 years ago when I joined these forums)And three, you buy it once, you have it forever until you break it. You look a lot less lame at a show if you have a physical synth to play, or even in a studio, or even at home. It just feels way better. It's more intimate. I've spent over a decade just flipping from VST to VST and they all start to feel the same, it's not exciting anymore. That doesn't happen with a physical, brown townog synthesizer. You want at least one physical brown townog synthesizer. .. if you're serious.
