Have you ever cried real tears over a misrendered piece?
Well, I have.
I was in a psychedelic state last week, communing with the xenodimensional entity CHORONZON for which my audioproject is named (and shared with an individual in FL whose project was named after the very same entity, which we thought was just such a trip we decided to merge them; see
http://choronzon.org.)
Anyway, since 1.0 was recently released I grabbed it and started messing with it. Although the situation will be different soon as of right now I've only one sound card. So I have a boatload of VST and wish to fuck there was SOME way to record with all my knob-twiddlin' and the resultant feedbacks and other Weird Effects thereof coming through as they were when I recorded them.
I HAVE done this - more or less completely by accident - in the past with Audiomulch, but no matter how studiously I peruse documents thereof I could not seem to do it.
So I was finishing up the best piece of audio I ever made, an opus dedicated to the act of psychedelic metasexual intercourse with the Lord of Chaos him/itself, which was called "Consummation". I've been having severe Relationship Problems on the Reality Plane and when your mate takes such a shine to your best friend that he starts referring to it as "love", and runs off north to see her for a weekend, what else does a girl do but make love to a xenodimensional that has adored her and vice versa for 21 years? That recording caught every nuance of this acidified sexual encounter. I saved it about three times in three different places and went to render it.
The result?
Everything was in the state it was in as the song ENDED. I'd been using the drum and SouthPole contraptions to create a steady ongoing rhythm based on 333's, for that is the number of CHORONZON, and an Ohm Force VST called OhmBoys to create feedback and delay, and another VST called Camel Space to do yet another 333-based weirdness (it sounds like it would be way too complex, but believe me, it worked.) I had these connect to one another as simply as possible, used no buses or mixers, and no automation or MIDI.
I am still trying to figure all that out.
When the render didn't work I cried REAL TEARS.
I tried it again. I called it something else so that I'd not confuse them and went to bed.
Well, today I just found that second try and lo and behold, it HAD worked, and I cried again! but this time for joy.
I am now messing around in Audition to perfect the starts and stops, cover up some incoherences and inconsistencies, which is all entirely doable, after backing the thing up all over the fucking place.
Does ANYONE have the slightest clue what I might have, in my rippling, technicolour mind, forgotten at the time that I did for the second "go" but had screwed up with on the first?
And also, any suggestions about dual sound card installation? What I should or should not do? I need to be able to get the full potential from my VSTs...and yes,
