Just stumbled across a free e-book on sound design/synth programming, titled “How to Make a Noise: A Comprehensive Guide to Synthesizer Programming“. I haven’t read a lot of it yet, but will be poring over it eventually. Even though there’s a more complete retail version of it that comes with patches to download outside of the ones for Chapter 1, I would think that anyone could gain at least something from checking out the free version. Have at it!

The words “not finished yet” show up a lot in my regular, day-to-day language. As in, coming from me.
Midnight (demo) is a perfect example. The main part of this track is totally done. But what the hell do I do about these very “temp-y” drums? They don’t sound right in the least, but I’ve experimented with a bunch of other things, and these are the closest I’ve come to something sounding somewhat decent.
Whatever, I’ll think of something. In the meantime, the siren and the sense of urgency, I’m happy to report, arrived completely intact. Yes, for once, the exact sound I heard in my mental space made it to the sonic page in front of me, and for that, I am grateful.
I was up late one night, and I just had this… feeling. I had this “something is wrong, and there has to be some sort of sound for that” feeling of dread. In actuality, everything was cool, but for that night, during the time I spent awake, at my keyboard, in my underwear, stuff was going down.
And that’s all I have to say about that.
