Hey guys,
I’m new here. I don’t want to be that guy who just joins and starts posting tracks… but that’s probably what I’m going to do. ![]()
I got a bit fed up with Reddit. I was posting tracks and It feels like a lot of people aren’t really into the OP-XY on a nerdy level, and too many comments just end up negative.
I’ve had the device for about a year now. It probably took me six months before everything really clicked, but now I’m at the point where I’m regularly posting tracks to YouTube. It’s mainly as a personal record of my progress, but also for anyone who wants to listen or give feedback.
I usually include a short write-up explaining how and why I made the track, without going into every little detail.
The latest one is a dark, dubstep-style roller. Nothing cheesy. It’s built using the OP-XY’s synth engines (the sub is the wavetable engine), along with one-shots, samples, and drum kits. Some are stock sounds, others I’ve added myself.
One of the reasons I’m posting is because I want to show what the device is capable of. Honestly, I don’t come across many OP-XY tracks that sound like something you’d actually hear as a release. My goal is to make tracks I’d be happy to play out in a club, and I’m trying to EQ and mix them to a club-ready standard, which definitely isn’t the easiest thing to do on this device.
Looking forward to chatting with everyone and hearing what you’re making too.
BTW Here track write up is on the Link - I am not posting this for views. I genuinely love noodling and sound design and want to show others what the device can do. This track took about 24 hours from start to finish.
