I’ve spent the holiday weekend working on a new Caustic Reverie album with a fair amount of throwing candy at children yesterday morning. It’s staggering how many great presets came with the synth vsts in the Komplete 5 package, but I though it would be more fun to try and build the sounds for this album from the ground up, starting from a single oscilator whenever possible. It probably would have helped to look at a manual, as Absynth and FM8 are some of the least inuitive plugins I’ve used in a while. The new album has a working title of Rented Spouses, though I do like the ring to Rudeness Poets.
