So what DAW do you use TAC? I'm gonna have to try that thing you explained above out, I'm using Ableton Live, which I'm pretty sure doesn't have that envelope follower thingy. Might have to download one?

And yeah, I'm a sucker for a lil bit o Vibe Tribe :D


Also I'm really liking this song as of late.

WOAH. I just made the coolest little instrument ever.

Hooked up a microphone to my computer, and basically used some filters and an envelope follower to allow me to make "esssss" sounds to control synth parameters, like filters, or even simply volume. I can play notes on my keyboard, and go TSS TSS TSS with my tongue at the attack to make them staccato, or I can make slow swelling notes by saying "...ssssSSSS!"

Fuck, this is so much fun. Feels so natural to play a synth this way too.

Is that via some sort of plugin? I had one once that converted notes to midi, but that was several years ago and the technology was still a bit buggy. I figured it might be good now tho because of how guitar hero and rockband have the mics that do the same for the game pretty much. Sounds cool.

edit: I should have kept reading lol. Saw yer break down up above. Neat!
 
Hi JPhoenix! Welcome to PD social. :) You'll probably love it and start coming regularly. :)

Hey PD! I've been feeling kind of down the last two days... I think it has a lot to do with the rain, the constant rain and storms and darkness and chilliness. But the sky is clear now and the sun is out (even though it's still chilly). Tomorrow it should feel great though and it's sunny for the forseeable future last I checked. :)

I've been feeling uninspired... I hate when I just feel down. I think I got my first wave of the winter blues... fall always makes me half-content and half-nostalgic... with this come some complicated emotions for sure. The beginning and the end of Fall make me feel a little depressed, reminding me of winter which I always just want to get through as quick as possible. The middle of Fall is quite enjoyable though, with all the colors and nice weather (usually). :)

This winter is going to be a big test for me to see if I can find better ways to keep myself balanced, happy, and inspired. Maybe I can focus in and work on my book a LOT. It's going to be pretty long and I have so much material to cover, but the structure of it is pretty fleshed out and I know just where to go with it. I want it to come out as early into 2011 as possible. Maybe mid-to-late Spring 2011. :)
 
Xorkoth - I get that way all the time, but when you squeeze all the juice out of the sponge, it of course needs time to soak the inspirational energies and thoughts back up. I feel blah myself but that's because I ended up staying awake from Sat until like 3 am last night lol.

also, if you want that book published and not written on some cowhide with duck blood ink, then you better get it out before 2012 lol haha write faster! :P

I don't use Live, but I just went ahead and had a look at the reference manual, and apparently you can control a filter with an envelope follower. Just hook up an Auto Filter to your synth, and sidechain your filtered mic input to it. Then you can use the Auto Filter parameters to set up the built-in EF.

I use Logic Pro, but since the envelope follower, in my situation, is in a separate program entirely, I could use any DAW I wanted.

Have you found someone to publish it? 2011 is real soon.

I started feeling my SAD kick in a couple weeks ago.
So ive started to do what i usually do this time of year; eat and sleep healthy, take vitamins, 5htp, and piracetam.
And thinking of ways to make improvements in my life, such as watching less TV, smoking less pot, and being on BL less.
So far ive been moving rather slowly with those improvements but making little changes here and there.

The toughest for me will be smoking less pot and being on BL less. But those two are essential in my bettering myself, so it has to happen.
 
I've loving this weather up the mountains. Everything has cooled down, and we had a good dump of rain yesterday. I cant can't till it snows.

Delysd, does the piracetam mess with you sleep patterns?

Hai thar guise, Hope everyone is having a nice day.

I've been spending alot of time sleeping these past few day's but I feel like my energy levels are starting to get back to normal. I've really been pushing myself these past few months. Trying to allow my human experience to reach new levels, and seems that the farther out I go, the more my senses are heightened. I feel as if I've flipped some type of switch that has allowed me to observe a form of energy force that surrounds us all. I've been able to notice these spheres of energy that fluctuate in size and color and appear in my visual field from time to time. The sea of static I've bared witness too in the sky has become much more pronounced and I have to admit, it's very fascinating.

Everything is so beautiful and it makes me grateful to be alive.

Try and take some time of your day to observe the mystical nature of our universe.

L<3Ve & Lite,

Cosmic Charlie

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found

If anyone has experienced anything similar and want's to talk about it.

But doesn't feel comfortable saying it on the open board.

You can send me a PM, I'd love to hear from you.

Take care my fellow traveler's <3
 
hmm.. I should really think about taking lower doses of piracetam. A dose in the morning will screw up my sleep patterns for the next day or so. I love the benefits, but I don't enjoy waking up every hour or so during sleep.

I love that piracetam has anti-coagulant properties as, I am prone to blood clots (had one 2 years ago). It's been helping me stay focused for a little bit longer, while been reading, and my recall has been a bit better.
 
I've never noticed that with piracetam. Do you take it with anything else?

I need to get some choline. It seems to amplify the effects substantially. I mostly just take it because it's cheap pleasant and mildly stimulating cognitively. I've not really noticed any mental enhancements, though.
 
I don't know...... thing's seem to feel different for me here now.

Maybe I'm just too weird for PD, lol

never thought I'd say that......

Later on swirlies, I'll probably come back at some point.

Stay Cool. %)
 
How can anyone be too weird for PD?

I'm pretty sure if PD were a physical place, we'd have like neon goats wandering around munching on marshmallow clouds and whatnot.
 
^ neon goats <3 hehehe you guys are right, seems I will love this place. =D now to get on with some artwork before sleep

dude you wouldn't necessarily be sitting under a lamp - check out this website - it's from here in the UK, but I'm sure you could find somehting similar where you live.

I usually take St Johns Wort all throughout winter. Sorted me out last winter mostly.

Also - I'm sure this has been done before in a poll, but if I made a new thread asking "how often you trip?!!?! And then give a brief description of why you trip this often, what you mainly use it for".

Would this go down well? I tried using the search option...but the keywords are too common or short etc. :\
