haha ur welcome

this is some nasty stuff

So I only had half of this thing lossless and the other half compressed so don't mind the weird audio quality. I can't get this project to open anymore which is a shame tbh. I'm not even sure why it won't open but all the tracks are messed up. Maybe because I made it in a logic version from ages ago.
This is all stock logic stuff if I remember right. I think this is almost 8 or 9 years old now. All the synths, effects, orchestra, etc. were all stock logic, except the cinematic drums in the Intro which I think was a kit called Drums Of War. But all the growls I made in stock logic plugins, I think mostly EFM2 and their 3 oscillator synth. Also yeah it was very unfinished and very old. I had no idea what I was doing with the mix back then. lmao. Also I can't for the life of me remember what movies the clips in the intro were from. I had way too much fun with the synths from like 01:40 ish. Would have loved to touch this up a bit but alas. 

yeah idk found this while going through old projects

did I rip the melody from somewhere? Genuine question. Somehow it sounds familiar but I really dunno. 

me too honestly.
I might finish the last two

just making some cute music ig

Surge is just screaming for help at this point

just square/pulse waves, sine waves, tons of effects and envelopes and automation and drums and aaaaa I love this. Also Ableton is awesome

This is less harsh than the last one I promise

Small laser sound, delay with length so short that it turns tonal, then a bunch of Izotope Trash. What's that sound like? 

Another very early Ableton thing I made while learning. I found this really cool low-fi piano patch that sounded like someone sampling their living room piano with their laptop. Squeaking and hissing and background and everything. And that turned into this. Also using some midi transformation tools and automation and whatever. But all the instruments are stock Ableton. No third party stuff in here. 

ironcross32 just uploaded an engine made with Surge XT which reminded me, I tried to code an engine sound from scratch using only the web audio API, no samples, just a bunch of  oscillators and math. Ignore the soft clicks, those are the parts where my math was slightly inaccurate and I didn't bother fixing that yet. Maybe I'll turn it into a little toy for people to play with. There are a bunch of changeable parameters but this is it in its default configuration. 

im a lil fox cub turning twirling

People were asking how to use Ableton Live with a screen reader so last night I recorded this very impromptu little audio demo. I just make a little loop and try to explain what I'm doing as I go as best I can. I'm also still learning so I might be doing some things inefficiently. Hopefully this gives people a little inspiration. Sorry if my speech rate is too fast, this was a very spontaneous thing. I wasn't sure whether I should post it, but I figure anything is better than nothing.

OK this is the last one. This is also Ableton. And all Surge. Also it's very loud. There's a bunch of very cursed things happening on this mix bus. But it bangs. 

More Ableton stuff. Look at me double posting. 

Another thing I made in Ableton. 

WIP playing with Ableton Live. Lots of automation, sound design, effects, midi, figuring out audio editing, just having a lot of fun with it's built in stuff. Working with Ableton is really enjoyable. 

Original song is Endless by 云别 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dliZOcQygoQ)

Surge XT is fun.
So are tiger sounds.
And bald eagle cries.
And flutes.
And the vocal samples. 

Don't mind the occasional crackles and glitches and the mic. Struggling computer be struggling. It's old. Give it a break. 

Late post. Whoops? I totally didn't forget or anything... 
I lost the lossless for this one, and I don't have a lot of the plugins that I used to make this anymore. Sorry bout that. It's a shame because I feel like it has potential!
Choose: Melodic or Noisy?

yeah I dunno I tried to make some kind of psytrance I guess.
Choose: melodic or noisy?

OK I thought I had one more relaxing themed file, but I might have been wrong. So since I said I'd post a calm thing, have this slightly melancholic or maybe more reminiscing piano song. If I find the other one, I will post it then. But until then, put on your favorite MyNoise generator and relax with this. 
Also nope I'm not sure what happened to the beginning two notes either. 

You've been traveling for a while as a soft rain wanders in from far away. You've been looking for an excuse to take a rest, 	and this seems like a perfect opportunity. Finding a secluded part of a gentle stream, you sit down and relax into the small, yet inexplicably large, natural phenomenon. You've always wondered why they call this place the elementals delight as, just in that moment, a sound and a water spirit appear out of the storm and momentarily join forces, surrounding and shielding you from the water from overhead. They share this moment with you for a while before parting ways with you, floating off into the cool afternoon.

Psst. Hey. I know it’s late, but I’ve heard whispers that the sound and water spirit got together again. And I know where they are. Want to come? It’s not far, I promise.

Everything in this was made only from one elephant sample. The pads, the bass, the little chords, the entire thing. Sometimes I took small portions of the sample and played them, other times I took a sample of the waveform and manipulated that and then added effects. But it all comes from the same single elephant trumpet.
Alrighty! Next one! Energetic or calm?

Sometimes... if its all too much... and you cant go on... its ok to howl at the moon.

I had ideas for this. I was gonna make a whole audio skit around it too. I was also gonna make an extended version. And the breakdown was going to be soooooo epic! Orchestral and strings and like... it was going to be a whole thing.
Then I ran out of steam.
Trust me I'm as disappointed about that as you. 
Probably more so.
Also this is the best kind of trance sue me! This was the shit back then and it's still the shit now! Uplifting/eurphoric/emotional trance has some of the best breakdowns in the electronic music world.
Alright. Let's try again! Energetic or calm?

Was messing with Surge and managed to make a really deep, very stereo rumble. Kind of like a strange purr.
Then I added some synthesized breaths over it, and clipped them together so that it was fluttering slightly.
I thought it actually sounded quite relaxing, so I synthesized some wind to go on top, and added some gentle synth chords with tons of reverb and subtle modulation. Also all Surge. Obviously.
Then add some improvised wing and claw foley, some Surge and some with the Macbook Mic, and just like that you're relaxing with a huge slightly synthetic sounding dragon... um... thing? I think it's quite peaceful actually. Oh and a touch of 3D as well to make it nice for the headphones.
Choose next one: Energetic or calm?

Here it is!
i really am sorry for how it ends lol
I like discussion in the comments so you know what, ask me how I made it there and I'll answer. If you care. or dont im not ur mom
Time to choose the next one: Melodic or noisy?
