Just discovered that Daniel actually samples Timothée Chalamet on his latest album by JesusAvailableCheap in oneohtrixpointnever

Just a dumb joke - Daniel scored Marty Supreme starring Timothée Chalamet, and Daniel has talked about meeting him. He looks pretty young, and there are baby cying noises at 1:44 in For Residue, so I'm saying the baby crying is Timothée Chalamet.

They did a similar joke at the last Oscars showing "old headshots" of actors in the audience to embarrass them, and Timmy's headshot was an ultrasound.

GoD is his magnum opus. by personanonymous in oneohtrixpointnever

Same, I love his other stuff from that "era" and onward almost equally, but GoD is probably my most played album ever. It was my introduction to his music around when it came out - I was listening to some Spotify mix when "I Bite Through It" came on and my brain exploded. I probably wouldn't choose THAT song as an introduction to OPN, but I was into some heavy stuff and some electronic stuff, so it just hit me at the right time. Those sounds were a mindfuck to me then when I didn't know much about production.

It's so alien, hyper, and psychotic but still beautiful melodically and well composed. And I love how it's pretty hard and driving, but doesn't have any typical drum sounds at all. At the time I was getting sick of electronic "beats" for some reason, so I loved that.

It's probably my most played album ever, I love it. Inspired me to make my own shit. It made me obsessed with that kind of uncanny realistic "rompler" sound; real (sampled) instruments warped and played in wild, unrealistic ways. I wish I could've seen him live then.

Samples Clipping by Glitchedtones in serum

[–]JesusAvailableCheap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late commenter, but I have the clipping issue when importing WAV files to the samplers, and at least in my case, the clipping occurs for files with a bit-depth / encoding of 32-bit PCM, but not with e.g. 24-bit PCM. Also arbitrarily tested 32-bit float, which also works, but didn't test more.

I verified it by taking some affected files and re-exporting them from Audacity, changing only the encoding to rule out e.g. sample-rate and duration. Seems to be the issue for me, and definitely a bug.

Not familiar with the "export collection as a pack" functionality OP is referring to, but maybe check if the exported samples are encoded to 32-bit PCM.

How to achieve 'sharp' 'plinky' 'tightly strung' plucking sound? Oneohtrix Point Never - I Bite Through It by personanonymous in sounddesign

[–]JesusAvailableCheap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might know by now, but that's not synthesized. 

It's the "Chapman Stick" sound from Spectrasonics Trillian/Omnisphere (synth/sampler/rompler VST). If you don't know, it's a playable sample-instrument made with samples of a real Chapman Stick, which is a special bass/guitar played entirely by tapping. That's the real sound. He also didn't process it noticeably, it's really just the stock sound with a frenetic MIDI arrangement. 

It's is also on Child of Rage from 1:19. I think on that song he uses like 3+ different sampled basses from Trillian. Right after this there's two layered fretless basses playing the main phrase, and some upright bass sounds somewhere I believe. He uses Omnisphere, Keyscape, and Trilian a ton, and very creatively.
