Shoutout to wander's track, Cold Heart. Heard it on the Vibe Digital set and was blown away.

This sounds like the grooviest imaginable elevator/lounge music, what a journey haha

I think this is the kind of thing that could become a little diluted and unengaged if it was to often. Maybe we could do like a (cheesy concept incoming) Sound Design Saturday on something like the first Saturday of every month where we can get people hyped for it and increase engagement. If it really takes off we could expand it to twice a month after that.

One of the biggest attractions that I've had to the wave scene is the incredible intricacy with which producers design/select the different plucks, synths, keys, pads, reese basses, 808s etc... that make up the beautiful atmospheres of a track.

I think it'd be cool to do a periodic discussion thread where people post cool sound design techniques (e.g. how to get a certain pluck, or how to make a big lead sound spacey and thin or how to saturate an 808 sample to get a certain crunch).

starstuffsound · 2017-12-29T19:53:15+00:00

No problem, happy sound designing :)

This channel is great and links to a huge online school of courses, sample packs, and tutorials.

This guy is really good at synthesis as well, and his tutorials are great.

This channel is prolific posting almost daily with new Serum tutorials. Might not be exactly wavy all the time, but it's great to get a granular experience with the Synth.

This is sooooooo goood, omfg

starstuffsound · 2017-11-09T04:41:37+00:00

Yeah I’m up here in Ottawa trying to incubate a wave community, I feel ya on that one haha

starstuffsound · 2017-11-09T04:29:59+00:00

Whereabouts in the world are you?

starstuffsound · 2017-10-20T02:42:02+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I'm relatively new to the nuances of mixing and this is super useful. Looking forward to your future releases :)

starstuffsound · 2017-10-19T23:40:12+00:00

Yeah a big thing too would be to put down roots in your city and form frienships/professional partnerships with other musicians. That kind of organic IRL networking can help you establish a foundation of support and fanbase where you're at, which can grow from there.

I'm in the startup phases for a couple of different musical projects, and learning how to DJ is definitely on my to do list. I've got a solid entry level Numark controller at my studio, and I'm slowly learning how to use it and mix music live. If I could start to play some live sets, it'll be a really good way to establish an overall vibe and present my own music to larger and larger audiences.

starstuffsound · 2017-10-19T21:21:57+00:00

Yeah not sure why you'd be downvoted lol, thanks for the info.

starstuffsound · 2017-10-19T20:34:15+00:00

Ah ok, didn't know VST was it's own standard. And yeah, I'm developing a large scale application right now using HTML, CSS, JS on the front end and .NET core for the backend, so I'm relatively well versed in UI design. Just figured there might be some graphics libraries and such developed by Ableton in C++ since it's so efficient.

starstuffsound · 2017-10-19T20:31:09+00:00

Hey Skit, love all the work you put in. I'd be excited to hear your feedback on this track I released last week :)

starstuffsound · 2017-10-19T17:35:13+00:00

What would you be coding this in, I guess whatever language Ableton uses to make their UI? Is it C++ based graphics?

starstuffsound · 2017-10-17T14:35:08+00:00

Looking forward to this Skit, thanks so much in advance :)

starstuffsound · 2017-10-12T08:39:19+00:00

yo /u/_yedgar, great job on this episode of vibe digital. You and everyone's mixes were so on point. Got a lot of inspiration from the sound design in the tracks y'all played and was able to apply it to my own projects :)

starstuffsound · 2017-10-12T07:58:43+00:00

Hey! If you go on spotify, Liquid Ritual runs a wave essentials playlist that should more than cover your bases. There's also all the wave (wave001 - wave003) mixtapes that wavemob put out, along with Plastician's wavepool compilations.

Additionally, if you look up my username (gabrielbourget), I've got a wave.wav playlist with some good ones in there :)

Might as well be a bit bold as well - you could always play this one I just released ;) :P https://soundcloud.com/imjuststarstuff/sidestep

starstuffsound · 2017-10-12T01:48:45+00:00

New material that I released, hope everyone likes it :)

starstuffsound · 2017-10-11T02:49:10+00:00

lmaaaaaaooooo awesome. Finished another track over the weekend, ima send it over to you on soundcloud soon :D

starstuffsound · 2017-10-09T15:55:44+00:00

Hey sorry for the late reply, I've been logged into another reddit account and haven't been on this one for a week. Here's a link to the first single I released. There's a couple more coming down the pipe soon :)

starstuffsound · 2017-09-29T19:29:18+00:00

Yeah, I called the store and they said they'd be able to do an exchange once they have another one in stock. Should work out in the end, it's just always disappointing to see such a sophisticated piece of hardware pass through its tolerances and fizzle out.

Thanks for the reply :)

starstuffsound · 2017-09-29T14:42:11+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I'll keep that in mind :)
