I don’t really like Christmas, this crazy and destructive consumerism organized on a planetary scale grieves me, but I still wish you all to have a good time with your families and loved ones !!!
Here is my Christmas track with only my Kosmo, recorded in 1 take
Thanks et joyeuses fêtes à toi également !
Usually at this time of the year kids get sick and so far they have been pretty good at keeping this a tradition.
I started to upload songs that I wrote and recorded nearly 10 years ago now. It is not really electronic type music but I did use an old MC-307.
I’ll keep uploading the rest when I can.
Happy Christmas break to all !
this might be the 2nd drop idk
the track so far
NIce! I always wonder when there are so many processing steps involved in getting a sound whether this could be optimised / whether a lot of processing is done in one step that is so to speak “undone” again or “rendered superfluous so to speak” in a later step. I can imagine that especially when you are short in CPU-power this may be something to look into. Have you ever looked into this? Does FL support off line rendering?
I’m not sure if it does but when i run into cpu issiues when i’m using alot of vst efx i end up ‘resampling’ the raw sounds into a wav file and do my post processing and sample maniuplation in the mixer with audio effect vsts (especially stock vsts) use way less cpu and are generally better oprimized than instrement vsts. I have a 10th gen i9 with a 3090 and 64gb ddr4 ram so i have yet to have huge performance issiues. i know of producers who do alot of crazier shit on shitty walmart laptops with a 256gb ssd gtx 1080 with an i5 or i7. Hell, ive seen somone use fl 11 (way less optimized) with an i3 8gb ddr3 ram and stock mb intergraded gfx make complex ass projects by simply resampling sounds into wav files.
Running out of CPU power, even with resampling, was part of the reason I moved to doing hardware stuff.
Rendering down to wav is a good old trick
I compose in a low cpu instrument, sometimes just my midi synth driver, and just lay it out. Then I design the sounds one layer at a time. I listen to how everything fits, and make some adjustments accordingly. Sometimes I’m glad I do because if I baked them in, it would have really been impossible to change what I needed to.
heres more sustained sounddesign shit
i had issiues uploading to soundcloud so audius it is

Listen with Monitors or Headphones
needs alot of work but this is just a test
Okidokes - first jam of the year. Father Christmas dropped off a novation sl mkiii and I got a chance to hook it up and try it out today - here’s the result.
So far I prefer the immediacy of using this keyboard and its built in sequencer to using the laptop and reaper as a midi sequencer - at least for bashing out simple ideas. Lets see where it takes me.
Cheers
2022 i’m calling this nearly done
Holy crap, I just noticed I posted my first YouTube video 15 years ago!
Christian Bloch - 2030 Memory
Pretty appropriately named as well!
