Thank you both!
FXPansion Strobe 2 for the main lead
All other synth sounds were Spire Synth.
Minus some saturation and vocal compression all other FX, delay, EQ, Reverb, Compression, Filtering was done with Samplitudes own in built FX.

Let me know what you guys think

All done inside of Samplitude of course.

Hi guys
Track I'm working on, wanted to fuse elements from Trance, progressive, deep house and electro/synthwave.
What's your thoughts?
Cheers

Hi guys
Me and a colleague of mine have invested in some space, treatment and gear to set up a dedicated mixing and mastering business.
He's qualified audio engineer and has been building his studio outboard for a number of years whilst I've helped finance some other pieces of gear amongst other things.
You can check us out at www.maroxaudio.co.uk and social links currently at twitter.com/maroxaudio and soundcloud.com/maroxaudio
Point to note is we're happy to do a few mixes and masters for anyone here free of charge, don't worry if you feel your work is not "worth it" - we're both hungry for something to do at the moment as we work to build our reputation so any work we get even free is appreciated and we'd be happy to help you lift your tracks up a bit with some professional mixing/mastering touches.
We specialist mostly in electronic as it's where we've had the majority of teachings and experience but should be able to help out with most genres.
If you're interested then drop me a pm or email us at mastering@maroxaudio.co.uk
Kind regards.

Thanks guys, feeling great about your comments
All modulation effects, delay, reverb etc are Samplitudes stock. Samplitudes channel EQ on all EQ'd elements.
Only third party plugins for masterbuss and sidechain.

Messing around with some Africa tribal vocals,
End result, 1 days work with a couple tweaks due.
Let me know what you think.

It does sound good, indeed! Very spacious! Certainly does not sound "mono" as I think of it anywhere.
Coxy, could you clarify what you mean by "produced the bulk of the song completely in mono"? Do you mean you started with all mono synth tracks panned to center and panned some things at the end toward left and right during mixdown? Did you add "ear candy" tracks as stereo ones to incorporate effects built-in to the VSTi? Are you using some stereo-spread technique on your mono tracks?
Curious mind wants to know! :-)

Hello Terry,
My terminology is probably wrong from a technical or traditional standpoint but what I mean is all tracks have been set to mono on samplitudes track mixer, dead center straight down the middle (right click pan button and move dial for stereo to the left or click MONO) this limits the synths stereo spread & width and L/R panning tricks which most synths and presets make heavy use of especially when you add the synths FX like delay etc.
I produced the whole track like that, layering and such then at mixdown allowing some aspects to pan out and make more use of the stereo field, yes some M/S processing for some tracks but also some L/R ping pong delay (Ecox) as well as Veriverb with width set to 100%
All the while keeping some tracks dead center.
At mixdown, panning and stereo spread becomes creative rather than technical and allows a really nice contrast between dead center elements, stereo elements and dead center elements with stereo type effects (like the variverb with 100% width)
-
Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback.

Background:For the first time I produced the bulk of the song completely in mono, this for me was a revelation, absolutely. It made mixdown swift and easy, keeping the bulk of it mono and allowing stereo only on the focus elements, it also made adding effects and ear candy effortless and results sounded better with more clarity and less smearing.
The track so far has taken me about 6 hours over 2 days.TO DO list:Minor adjustment of levels in break downSmooth out the outro so ends less abruptly.From now on I will only produce in mono and save stereo as a creative process at mixdown stage and beyond.Let me know what you think overall.Cheers -
Hello guys,
This is a sampler of a track I'm currently working on in Samplitude.Could you let me know what you think.It's very in keeping with current trend of deep progressive trance, as perfected by the Artist GRUM recently.Thanks in advance -
Great work Coxy - it gave my Numann KH810 sub a nice workout
Is it all done ITB?
Thanks Kraznet,,
Utilising KH120's here and love them so can't help feeling a bit of Neumann envy of you and your 810 SUB
Yes all ITB, a couple of third party synths, Strobe 2 main lead and bases and Serum for initial build synths however ALL effects, compression, EQ, mixdown and mastering was done with Samplitudes internal stuff. Big favourites of mine are Variverb, Ecox and Tremelopan, with Am-track being an excellent utility/character compressor in heavy use on this track.
-
Thank you.
Pop trivia, I used a sample of my own heartbeat in the track - you can hear it coming in at around 3:25

Hi Terry
Thanks for the comments
I had to make the link private as it's had some initial interest from a label and they wanted exlusivity, I just need to make a few changes to it before it goes to the mastering house.
You can still listen via private link here... I trust you guys
-
New tune,
Produced and mixed down over the course of 4 days. All 100% Samplitude and in the box.

Kind of Deadmau5 vs Eric Prydz with a trance angle.

I've been looking at wish lists for Samp releases since 6.1 was just a rumor....but why not, playing is free.
-Modular, so people don't buy crap they don't want/will never use....
-Workable EQ to match the outstanding compression and reverbs...
-Cooperative hardware/software sharing with major league players such as UAD or Radar...
Do you not like the EQ116?
There's nothing musical about it but for neutral, surgical use I find it absolutely bang on.
-
Now I've got your attention...
Is there any news on this?
What length are the release cycles for new/updated versions of Samplitude generally?
I'm grown accustomed to Steinbergs fairly predictable release schedules - But don't fear I won't be going back!
-
Here's a bold statement you won't hear everyday.
When I was starting out creating and selling patch banks for early software synths - when soundbanks were very few and far between (only people doing Eletronica stuff was Vengeance sound back in the waldorf pulse/NI Pro-52/53 days) I 'self pirated' the soundbanks I had created which were selling on my site and posted them to sites & newsgroups - I linked back in the readmes and zips to my site and it helped me make a name for myself and sales actually increased for the soundbanks I didn't release "into the wild".
Ultimately it was probably detrimental in the long run but it helped me build an online 'profile' as a patch designer at the time - I figured that if people thought I was good enough that my stuff was being pirated then the rest falls into place.
BTW There's no message or statement in my post just thought it was a worthy contribution within a related thread.

This worked by the way, thanks Kraznet.
Whilst I am on this topic, anyway to keep the default view of when I open up the drum editor it can be "saved" at the top of the editor? My maps start at the very top so everytime I re-open drum editor on a new midi part I have to scroll quite a bit to the top.
Seems trivial I know but it's the little things sometimes
Cheers

Hi all
In Samp is there anyway to view the key a sample is in?
EG Cubase pitch shifter window would have a piano roll type view so you always knew what key the current sample was in before you shifted pitch.
I'm not musically trained so cannot ascertain pitch/key by ear.
Kind regards
-
Hmm I can't seem to be able to reproduce it. Did you try choosing the map from the Track Editor instead of the midi editor?
Haven't tried this - just been doing it within the midi editor, will try this and report back
Cheers!
-
Seems to be working here. Is the midi editor docked or undocked?
Hi Kraz
Undocked.
-
Hi
I've set up a custom drum map in samp.
When I enable it after opening the midi editor if I close the midi editor then open it again the drum map has reverted back to the default GM one and I have to reslect my own.. again. Each and every time.
Any fix for this?
Cheers

Thanks all, it's likely (hopefully) getting signed soon, have a couple labels interested and I've done 34 revisions (mostly technical) since that version so fingers crossed.
