Sample sound clip from my notebook computer system
I finally got around to making a sample sound clip
of my new notebook computer system. I'll reiterate the components
of my system, and then I'll describe how I made the clip below. I'll forewarn
you now, however, that this is no piece of art and is only a sample of the
effects, not anything that creative or song-like by any means. I'm just messing
around with random notes and chords over the top of the looped foundation,
sometimes playing only with my left hand in order to move from effect to effect
with the mouse in my right hand.
The System
ThinkPad T60p (Intel Duo Core T2500 processor,
2GHz x 2, 2 GB of RAM)
Microsoft XP Pro
How I Made the Sample
Clip
Everything you hear is a VST effect. First I
created an initial loop with Mobius, Voxengo Tube Amp simulator, Fat Ass Edge
(for pitch down), MHC FlexFx Delay, Kjaerhus Audio Classic Chorus, and ANWIDA
Soft DX Reverb. Everything but Edge is a set of VST effects I keep on all
of the time for my standard guitar sound.
Second, I began activating each of my favorite 65
VST effects in Chainer one at a time, playing just a few seconds on each one to
give you an idea of the sound of that preset (which in most cases is my favorite
preset).
Basically, this sample clip reflects about 1/30th
of my tone mangling capability, given all the other presets in each VST effect
that is not heard. And based on my experience so far, I could easily eliminate
all of my VST effects and just use my Reaktor 5 VST, or run it as a standalone,
and have enough effect processing diversity and power to last me a
lifetime. The effects that users are developing and providing free for
download are just mind blowing.
