Title: 7 Minute Trance Song
Post by: blackhole on August 01, 2008, 02:03:29 am

I gave up on this song after it took 9 hours to render and 3 hours to master. And its not even mastered properly yet.

9 hours? What are you rendering it as, Sinc depth 256 with anti-aliasing and 16x oversampling or something? :P

Technical aspects are very nice, just the melody isn't quite catchy enough for me to dance to. Probably my second favourite one of yours after that Nerdgasm_Title one.

What programs do you use out of curiousity? I've got trance Ejay 5 but it's acting up in Vista. I can't save or load my mixes. :wtf:

Well I *am* rendering it at 512-sync depth, but I could have rendered with 6-point hermite and it still would have taken 8 hours. I also do have a 32x oversampled synth somewhere in there, but again, thats not the culprit. The culprit is a 200 meg soundfont that takes for-f*cking-ever to render, regardless of my quality settings.

I'm missing a substantial bass line and little variation on the lead theme. Otherwise pretty good effort.

I remastered it. Should have been more conservative in my EQing :(

I know, thats because the song was too big to directly upload, and fixing that would involve some PHP coding i'm too lazy to do.

I use FL studio 8.
