The Selection

I’m back with another Synthscape which is noise with synths, drums and FXs over the noise which I mangled using Audacity a handy free audio editor but I like to use Wave Pad as well by NCH which is a paid version that is cheap and worth it. The Synthscape is like a Soundscape which is usually a long audio clip of noise and sounds evolving over time and this is like that. I enjoy making mini-songs which is what this is made up of and are 12 bits that change every now and then with something new and hopefully interesting. I thought I’d make some more as I haven’t done that many and someone mentioned how rare it was so I thought I’d do some more since like always I enjoy making them even though the last half hour is a bit tense but I get by somehow. As always you can find the hour-long audio file on my Soundcloud and also I made a visual for YouTube which is also the hour-long version and the version that isn’t cut up into songs, I would have had it one hour-long file but the rules are so stren but that can be found on my YouTube channel or alternatively you can check it all out on this website under Music Creations in the G.F.E. Hub in the main menu. It’s great to sit down and make something new and something that does get tiring making which is why I don’t do the same thing when I do make music even then I do believe in taking breaks and coming back fresh and with another new angle. But I enjoy making this the most as it’s experimental and I love experimenting with sound and noise and seeing what I can make of it, I do amaze myself since I don’t go in with expectations well I do and I don’t but there’s a tip for you making music if you know how to just go blind but still have something in your head. It’s a good excuse and chance to get creative and make something a bit kooky in sound. I called it remember 2 forget as I think some stuff is left forgotten and in the past, as I can’t keep holding on to bad memories and bad nights, holding grudges is also not cool something I don’t tend to do actually but I have done for good reason. The fact is remember 2 forget is yet another reminder to me and anyone else listening to let it go it’s not worth holding onto and you will feel silly and stupid in the end not a good look. As always I used my trusted MIDI keyboard and plugins from the V Collection if you don’t know by now one of my favourite VST plugins to go to when making Synthwave, general synthy vibes and these Synthscapes which I’m on my fourth one now so time to slow down a little. I don’t plan on making lots of them every now and then when I feel like it will I do one but I haven’t got a number I will stop at I don’t even know how many I will do in total. I also enjoyed coming up with say anonymous titles and something I like doing the most actually it kind of fits with the song and are kind of funny or some of them are. I like the drums I made which I used the Roland 606, 808 and 909s which I got from the Mars Sample pack at a ridiculous price it was something like 1 Pound which is nearly 2 dollars. I’m so happy I bought it as I use it in all the stuff I make and is my number one go-to for drums as it’s got all the drums you would need to make your next drum pattern. I was lucky to make a replica of the sound byte I used and did it by putting it in Audacity the free audio editing program and changing the Hertz to 8000 and saving it for an ambient background noise with little jingles every now and then. The first one I did was from a mix that went wrong but I managed to clone the sound for some more Synthscapes using old mixes I recorded. I found Audacity was the only software that would change the Hertz and the sound while the others changed the sound into 8 bits which is grainy and hard to hear the overall details of the track.
