WAVESYNTH MAN STAGE 2
By PeterM on November 30, 2024 12:55 am
Another step toward chippiness this week. I'm aiming for a Megaman style theme here. All M8 wavesynth instruments and mostly pulse and noise waveforms. I was going to try to have no effects too, but I just love them too much it seems.
Biggest challenge for me on this one is the high end getting completely overwhelmed. I think that is kinda part of flavour of this kind of tune, but it's tough to keep it from getting too piercing. The EQ helps a lot but I had trouble finding a balance between too sharp and too muffled.
Biggest success would be actually writing a bridge and having it lead into a key change. With no samples, it allows to easily mess with the global transpose setting. I found each time I picked a new key, the song sounded amazing. Then I'd change it back to the original key and it would sound amazing again too! Anyway, that inspired me to try to work a key change into the song and I'm pretty happy I challenged myself to do that.
I also like the B section where everything gets really spacious. That was fun to put together.
Anyway, I really enjoyed putting this one together. Things went a bit more as planned this week and I made fairly consistent progress which always helps to keep my spirits up!
Looking forward to hearing what you all came up with this week, as always! 
Cheers!
