Wanderbreed  Thanks! Usually one of the trader joes varieties. There's a great roaster in new england called omar coffee that I mail-order from sometimes.

And yeah, the length is intentionally short for artistic reasons, though I do have a 5-6 minute remix in process.  (Mar 06, 2013, 13:21 PST)

s.a. zober  Very nice. How long are you away from the 5-6 mine one??? Omar looks like he makes one sweet bean. Thank you, Shoham  (Mar 06, 2013, 13:28 PST)

Wanderbreed  The remix *should* be out 3/13/13 ep "Dinosaur Mattress".  (Mar 06, 2013, 14:29 PST)

s.a. zober  Woah, woah, woah. I hope you'll put it here. I'm on here every day, and like buying stuff from indie artists like myself. Thank you and congrats...! Shoham  (Mar 06, 2013, 14:46 PST)

Wanderbreed  Don't worry, I am not going to use a distribution service that does not respect my right to sell on direct sites such as this :)  (Mar 06, 2013, 15:39 PST)

s.a. zober  I definitely respect your rights. We need to stick together as artist! Hang together or separately :) Shoham  (Mar 06, 2013, 15:50 PST)

FeedForward  I think it's the browser or operating system, but this is a new problem for us... Trying to figure this one out! Sorry and Thank you...  (Mar 06, 2013, 11:07 PST)

Wanderbreed  I think it failed to convert from flac, I'll replace it with an mp3 :)  (Mar 05, 2013, 12:28 PST)

The Middlemen  Word! FLAC should work, but, eh! Looking forward to litening :) Thank you, Shoham Zober, FeedForward Co-Founder  (Mar 05, 2013, 12:58 PST)

Wanderbreed  Interestingly, I'm not seeing a way to replace just the audio file. I'm guessing I have to delete the work and create a new one?  (Mar 05, 2013, 13:03 PST)

The Middlemen  That's probably the easiest way! Sorry for any confusion. We are good, but far from perfect. It's hard to know what caused the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience!!! Shoham  (Mar 05, 2013, 17:48 PST)

Kode of Bliss  Thanks! Did you see the Video I think is kind of cheezy funny. I also put FF as the buy Link on the Video.
Dubstep Reddit downvoted it from the moment I posted it, so dubsteppers must not like it, but I say F them.  (Aug 02, 2012, 16:26 PDT)

s.a. zober  THANKS! I'll go check it out now. I'd still say throw it up here, as it doesn't cost anything, and we always keep the original file you upload, so when we improve the FLV quality we stream it will give a boost to the video...

Re the /r/ It's *possibly* not their fault. I've been doing some work into the dynamics of Reddit's voting system. If you put up a link to one of your works and so does another composer, his/her natural incentive is to just downvote everything on the page, and upvote with as many accounts as possible their own links. It's a D-Bag move, but it's it is a natural thing to do... I think the survey says it's the logical thing to do... TL;DR YES, F them!!!  (Aug 02, 2012, 16:33 PDT)

Spyduck  Main effect with the square wave is just a chorus device in reason that's heavily detuned. Basically means it's processed to sound like 16 copies of the instrument are playing at almost the same time, with maybe a couple ms apart, each one slightly detuned from the original note. Sort of like hearing a bunch of people sing the same song at the same time but each voice has different tonalities to them. Not sure how that would be accomplished in audacity. Maybe just copy a square wave 16 times, barely change the pitch of each bit or loudness of certain wavelengths with an eq, then super impose them over your main line in timing ever so slightly off the main tempo.  (May 30, 2012, 08:02 PDT)

Spyduck  Scratch that, it was the Unison device. The chorus/flanger would have a much different effect.  (May 30, 2012, 08:08 PDT)

s.a. zober  Interesting technique. I started messing around with just square waves, and here's what came of it, last night, obviously just a concept at this point: http://www.feed-forward.net/w.4293_Chippy_Rough_and_Raw_for_Spyduck But I'll take your ideas into account -- thanks!  (May 30, 2012, 09:23 PDT)

Spyduck  Piano roll. The drums were loops except for that first bit. All the other instruments I had to arrange on piano roll though. Since I don't really know that much about sheet music and scales and keys and whatnot I just kinda had to sit there and do things note by note until I found something that worked. That synth at about 1:45 was kinda funny though. I loaded up a poly synth and turned it into a mono synth with the same piano notes then upped the portmanteau a little bit on the device to get the final effect. A lot of things used in my final products are really a lot of "happy accidents" as Bob Ross would put it. I mess around, try making something obnoxious, and then say "you know what... that actually works"  (May 23, 2012, 13:04 PDT)

s.a. zober  Right, right, right. Happy accidents + (diligence x vigilance) = brilliance. Cool, cool, cool. Let me ask you, where do you, or where can I get good synth samples for piano rolls? I don't know of anything free to play around with. Thanks for the tips, too :)  (May 23, 2012, 14:12 PDT)

Spyduck  As far as samples go, I'm not sure. Quite a few of the synths that Reason uses use patches. Patches are essentially preset envelope, wave type, modulation values, etc. that apply to that specific device in reason. Some of the devices, however, use .wav files for main sample, like the redrum device for example. This is where google is your friend since most DAW's that use a piano roll can do things with .wav samples. The sounds that I use are in the factory sound bank of reason, so they just kind of come with the program. Other DAW's will usually also have their own samples plugged right in. I don't really know of any banks with free samples, however. Though, there's always recording your own if you've got the equipment and the instrument.  (May 25, 2012, 00:50 PDT)

s.a. zober  OK. Thanks, that's a good point. I guess playing with around with sine waves can work too? -sho  (May 25, 2012, 04:32 PDT)

Spyduck  Definitely. If you can find good samples of sine, square, triangle, sawtooth, and noise waves, there's a hell of a lot you can do. Just check out some chiptunes by people like Sabrepulse or Colon Openbracket for proof of that.  (May 26, 2012, 22:01 PDT)

s.a. zober  Cool, thanks for the encouragement. Anything in particular (effects-wise) that I should look at doing to the waves. I noticed that fading in and fading out on a sine makes it sound like a steel drum or glass harmonica -- any other tricks you can think of? Would be very helpful! Thanks.  (May 27, 2012, 06:51 PDT)
