uFX loops and Freesound contest

10/31/2014

Freesound being one of the big resources for original and free sample material is also one of the cornerstones of the app uFXloops Music Studio as it has since the beginning been integrated with Freesounds. 

Here is what is said;
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Dare 30 - Support the developers


This is something I have thought about before, but never managed to turn into a dare. Until recently I was contacted by a developer.

Us Freesounders moan frequently about how many times people use our sounds and don't give us proper recognition. We moan about some of our sounds having many downloads and no star ratings or comments. We moan about how much work and effort we put into those things and so little we get back.

Well... here is somethig for you to think about
On average, maybe it takes you an afternoon to go out and do a recording session. Maybe it takes you a few evenings after that to cut up and clean your recordings. And maybe a few hours to upload, tag, describe into Freesound.
Lets say, 20h total.

This is NOTHING compared to how much time DEVELOPERS spend creating their DAW and plugin applications. 100s or 1000s of hours of their lives go into this.
And I am talking here about FREE SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS: the folks that do all of this and then release it for free on the internet.

How many times have you used free music software?
How may times have you gone back to the developer to say thanks? or to give useful feedback?

This dare is about changing that.

If you have an android device, I am going to ask you to download and use uFXLoops.
The developer, Andreas, has contacted me and we created this dare together.
You can get uFXloops here:
https://www.ufxloops.com

Here are some additional links
tutorial: https://www.ufxloops.com/tutorial
videos: https://www.ufxloops.com/gettingstarted
For questions and FEEDBACK:
support@ufxloops.com

Andreas will be active in the DISCUSSION thread to provide assistance, if you need it.
If you do not have an android device you can also participate, just pick another piece of free software and follow the rules.
(*)Also make sure you read the NOTE about using uFXloops at the bottom of this post.

RULES:
1 - If you have an android device (mobile or tablet) please download and use uFXloops for your dare entry.
https://www.ufxloops.com
2 - If you do not have an android device, pick another FREE sound software to use. You can pick more than one, but keep it reasonable as you will need to follow the rules below.
3 - Make sure you can actually contact the developer (their website should still be active, there should be a way to submit feedback/messages or an email...) 4 - If you are stuck for ideas, why not use one of these:
http://www.kvraudio.com/kvr-developer-challenge/2014/
5 - Use your chosen software, really try to explore as many features as you can.
6 - Contact the developer. Thank them for their product and provide feedback - This is the most important part of the dare. (**) - SEE NOTE BELOW
7 - Post your entry with a link to a music piece created with your chose FREE software(s). You can use other tools/software/hardware/samples also, but make sure your selected FREEE sofware plays a major role in your piece. If it helps, think that you have been asked to create a DEMO music piece for that software.
DEADLINE for submissions: 15 Nov 2014, 11:00pm GMT.
8 - Use this thread for submissions only. For everything else use the DISCUSSION thread.
http://www.freesound.org/forum/dare-the-community/35497/?page=1#post76577

(*) - There is another big benefit about using uFXloops in this dare. If you provide feedback, Andreas (the developer) will give you an infinite Premium account on uFXloops - This will enable High Quality Mode and make the app absolutely add-free.

(**) - NOTES ABOUT PROVIDING FEEDBACK
Above all, be considerate and polite. Remember the developer spent a lot of time creating the software, so even if you don't like it and/or does not work for you, try to give useful and polite feedback. Remember that any issue might be specific to your DAW or Operating System. Here is an example on how to complain about some features that you do not like or do not work properly: 
"Hello X, thank you for taking the time to create the VST plugin Sound X. I like the distortion effect, but I found considerable latency when using it in Reaper. Works fine in Ableton Live. Also I found the filter to be a bit bland, there is no noticeable effect on the sound, except at extreme resonance settings. This happens in both Reaper and Live. I am using Windows XP on a 1GHz dual core laptop."

CrossDJ Android version catches up with iOS version

10/31/2014

This upgrade brings the following features to the table:
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Waveform view
This allnew
view allows for better music visualization, scratching on the waveforms and
accurate cuesetting.
On top of that, 2 options provide advanced users with new actions:
beatgrid
editing directly on the waveform
zoom
with a simple pinch
Separate Tabs
A and B decks eventually gained their independence. A simple swipe gesture displays a different
panel on the left and on the right. Adjust the EQs on one side, while applying an effect on the left.
This enables you to create stunning combos that were never possible before on Android.
Key detection
Cross DJ now detects the key of the tracks. This is useful for harmonic mixing, i.e. mixing tracks
that sound well together.
Synced sampler
Dedicated drum loops triggered on the sampler are now synchronized to the main decks. They
play at the same BPM as the track currently playing.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Here is a recently released video showing the latest additions.

This have been making the rounds the last week or so but thought that this was a nice post with alternative links and also to other space sounds. All free for use and it is not a small amount sample material everything from take offs to ground control saying cool things etc...
So think that after Nasa put up their sound archives on Soundcloud there will be a whole lot of space induced music being made!

Oxxxide the developer/s that is behind Common Analog Synthesizer / Common FM Synthesizer  /
ExSynth ( Fully Midi implemented and with sequencer built in, in short one of the more interesting synthesizers for Android... ) is now working on Androids second real time Drum synthesizer... They have only teased with this image but what is not seen is probably as in ExSynth extra views for effects and sequencer.

SunVox 1.8 Beta - A lot of fantastic goodness!

10/28/2014

1 Comment

For the regular user of SunVox just scanning the list will make you wet / hard and if you are a beginner or never used SunVox it will not be as obvious...
Things that jumped me and made me horny...

MetaModule: EDIT button has been added; now you can edit MetaModules without annoying Loading/Saving.

- One of the many cool things with SunVox is the Metamodule which make sit possible to build your own soundengines and effects into "Vst/i's" for SunVox. Before this option it was not a lot of hassle but it had it's limitations now it is real easy to experiment and rebuild the Metamodule.

Sampler: the following options have been added: Record on play (use it if you want to record in sync with the PLAY button), Record in mono, Record with reduced sample rate, Record in 16bit.

- Hey, it is not perfect but this makes it much, much easier to do everything in SunVox as recording vocals and guitars etc in sync with the rest of the track. Before there was the possibility to record things directly into the sampler but it could be very hard to synch it up afterwards. This is now no longer the case. The only problem is with longer recordings as it is recorded into the sampler it would be triggered from the beginning of the recording and not in for example the middle. So the solution is to record by parts like one verse of vocals for example... or record the whole track then re-record parts into another sampler directly in between the sample modules.

SpectraVoice improvements: auto render, additional sample size, new band types (random, triangle1, triangle2, overtones1, overtones2, overtones3, overtones4).

-Spectravoice is a interesting synthesizer that is good as it has its own character the problem before that it was highly annoying to program and in the end personally I never used it except from an occasional preset. Now this has changed and it will be much easier to program.

There is more and some of the new functions have bigger implications than my tiny brain has to catch up with before realizing the implications!

Here is the whole list:
____________________________________________________________________________________________________


  • audio engine has been switched to 32bit (Floating Point) mode on Android and iOS devices (except the slow devices without FPU);
  • other than 44100 sampling rate support for iOS and Android (only if the audio hardware supports it);
  • new Module View (Routing) functions: Zoom (with multitouch support), Snap to Grid;
  • MetaModule: EDIT button has been added; now you can edit MetaModules without annoying Loading/Saving;
  • MetaModule: additional options: Arpeggiator (change the pitch of internal MetaModule patterns), Apply velocity to song;
  • Sampler: the following options have been added: Record on play (use it if you want to record in sync with the PLAY button), Record in mono, Record with reduced sample rate, Record in 16bit;
  • SpectraVoice improvements: auto render, additional sample size, new band types (random, triangle1, triangle2, overtones1, overtones2, overtones3, overtones4);
  • Sound2Ctl: "Record Values" option has been added; now all values from this module can be recorded alongside with the other SunVox events (notes, Theremin, etc.);
  • offset commands (effect codes 09 and 07) support has been added to the following modules: Generator, Analog Generator;
  • MultiSynth: new controller "Random phase" has been added; for example, with this option you can play the Sampler's notes from the random position;
  • MultiSynth: new controller "Random velocity" has been added;
  • Analog Generator: new option "Filter freq. scaling per key (reverse)";
  • Analog Generator: new controller "Noise" - amount of the white noise;
  • new pattern command: Previous Track (displayed as <<); use it to apply effects to previous track; but the following secondary effects are not allowed: 2x, 40..5F, 1D;
  • new button in the Pattern Editor: Spec.Cmd - press it to insert a special command (Set Pitch or Previous Track);
  • additional MIDI slot has been added to the Preferences; now you can use two MIDI keyboards simultaneously;
  • Timeline section has been added to the Preferences;
  • new option: Preferences -> Timeline -> Show timeline (always show Timeline on the screen);
  • new keyboard shortcut: SHIFT + F9 - record start/stop;
  • new keyboard shortcut (pattern editor): SHIFT + [ - transpose octave down;
  • new keyboard shortcut (pattern editor): SHIFT + ] - transpose octave up;
  • new keyboard shortcut (pattern editor): CTRL + m - paste and mix;
  • new keyboard shortcut (pattern editor): SHIFT + k - insert the "Previous Track" special command;
  • new simple song examples: spectravoice2, metamodule_arpeggiator, metamodule_arpeggiator2, std_effect_multitrack, std_effect_multitrack2, std_effect_multitrack3;
  • new song examples: alchemy_masters, full_moon_night;
  • bugs fixed;
  • more in the final release...
