New synths?

Posted on November 24 2019 by Tokina / Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia there

Told you I wasn't going to leave you all alone during these 3 weeks where production is currently private.

Concerning CD28, tracklist is not 100% done (one track name missing) and album name is not decided yet. It is possible that now, it will integrate inedite synths...

You know it's Black Friday recently.
And who says Black Friday says there are huge reductions on many things (that's how I got 4 packages of samples very quickly from Glitchmachines)
But it wasn't over...

2 years ago, I had done the Black Friday with Native Instruments to get FM8. There are very cool presets in it, even if some are a little bit difficult to use. This year I striked again with not one, but two synths...

Massive and Absynth 5!

(yes I took just Massive and not Massive X...)

OK now the why for the 2:
- Massive: mainly got it for some dubstep sounds, seems I can't do very well with Harmor for now, and Serum never has the chance to be under reduction... Too bad... Massive has the huge chance to have presets sold a bit everywhere (or downloadable everywhere, got a bunch of free ones) and I'm sure we can do pretty cool things with it
- Absynth: this one is specialized in all that is pads and ethereal sounds. And I think you may have noticed it, but I really love this type of instruments, most of my songs include at least one pad... We'll get beautifuuuuul sounds (☆▽☆)

It will be lots of fun!

Enjoy!

PS: Last album is available here...

CD27.5 "PSYCHOCEPTION"

Posted on November 15 2019 by Tokina / Nynthixia

DOWNLOAD ALBUM (12 TRACKS - 6 ALBUM EXCLUSIVE)

Hello, Nynthixia here

Here is the album... Finally
Probably the last of 2019, who knows

Here are the 6 album exclusive tracks in a sort of little resume:

Emergency Dream

There is a theory about people having experiences in their dreams... Sometimes to face a danger that may happen in their real life, becoming thus more competent in real life against this danger.
This song is recommended for all audiences - A rating

Sepulcrum

A girl abandoned in an adventure dying in a cavern, even though she is not completely blaming the one who took her here.
This song has been rated as Mature (first class) and is not recommended to people below 12 - M12 rating

Chaotic Rain

Psychological song, about a paranoid girl in a logicless world.
This song has been rated as Mature (first class) and is not recommended to people below 12 - M12 rating

Across the Line

Two girls. Two separated lands. One in love with another, already promised to someone else. And when the first girl reveals herself to be horribly possessive, things can turn out... Bad.
This song has been rated as Mature (second class) and is not recommended to people below 14 - M14 rating

Ran Out of Gasoline

A crude and tragic song about a woman in a poor place, forced to shoot herself up to not be out of energy. About the dangerous trap of society that drug can be.
This song has been rated as Mature (first class) and is not recommended to people below 12 - M12 rating

Hester -Truth-

"The girl who lived a whole life of lies and decided to actually commit what would cause her end... Before she finds hope again... Maybe?"
The truth behind Hester.
This song has been rated as Mature (second class) and is not recommended to people below 14 - M14 rating

 

Changelog... For "Parasitism". All other tracks were not modified.

[EXTENSION] Extended intro
[INSTRUMENTS] Added kicks in second part of intro
[INSTRUMENTS] Added chords pattern in first part of intro
[INSTRUMENTS] Added impact SFX at mid-intro

 

OK, I had actually hesitated between two dates for this album... Either November 9th, either 16th. And oh gosh, I did really good to let myself to the 16th, because otherwise "Ran Out of Gasoline" wouldn't been there. My back pain had striked again on Tuesday of last week, making me lose two full days of production, obligated to lie down and to use the visual keyboard to communicate online. This... Wasn't great. These two days could have been spent for Ritsu's song but... To work on a song I need to be on a chair, to write down the annotations, to be very careful to notes input... Things that I couldn't have done on a bed.
So yeah, that's why its production date is actually late. To equilibrate the production methods, I still used the first Nectar Elements I had for Ritsu's capella, despite having used Nectar 3 Elements for the work before (NECOLINA).

About this... I got Nectar 3 Elements last week, by buying some more sample packs (Glitchmachines do good things)... For free. Again. I had just to wait for some time. But to be honest... Nectar 3 Elements has nothing to do with the original Nectar Elements. In Nectar 3, you don't have any pre-made presets, it's an artificial intelligence which does all the work with machine learning. So it has to learn how I'm working.

Generally a mastering chain for capellas is done like this:

ExpressFX Reverb -> Phasis* -> Neutron Elements -> Vocal Doubler* -> Nectar Elements -> Ozone 8 Elements

* optional

So when I ask Nectar 3 Elements to work, all other effects are already active. Neutron already enhances the capella a bit and Ozone is already taming some mid-frequencies. And I do it on the capella main, then I repercute the exact same treatments on the cho track.

Add to this I'm working with a headset that now better redistributes frequences than my previous one did (it had issues with low basses and sub basses). So all that can be little defaults, I can better hear them. And when I'm working with Nectar 3 Elements, I feel like with the preset the machine is giving me, is not enough to enhance well the capella. So I tweak dynamics a bit, sometimes de-esser (and I learnt that tweaking this too much gives bad results)... Giving a more particular mastering that is very different of hearing for sound pros than the previous masterings (with Nectar Elements 1.00). However, on a mp3 player (I have my Walkman for testing some issues), these issues tend to be diminished.
Conclusion: it really depends of how your headset ou earphones redistribute the sound. But for someone who's not used to it, I understand it can be weird at hearing.

Question is: "will I stop using Nectar Elements (1)?"
And answer is "no"

Nectar 1 Elements (I'll call it like this, but it's the original one I got with VEGAS Pro 13) is used for another thing, it is used for centered beats in the instrumental (except for heavy kicks which use EQ2). So its place still belongs here, as Nectar 3 Elements is clearly more done for vocal tracks. Its machine didn't learn for beats.

So it's still be here, just it leaves a place.

 

Saw the deadlines? Next one is on December. Which means
for 3 weeks there won't be any PUBLIC song
but I'll still produce... It will just be private tracks! (min 6)

But no worries... I'll find a way to keep yourselves busy!

Tracklist for CD28... I'm still working on it, 5 other titles are already confirmed, for now it's a tracklist of 12 songs with half of them being public (the 2 you already got, one song with Stella, one with IA, a trio Yukari/CUL/Akari (I played safety card) and a song with Oniko).
This also means I'll have to work on another album in the meanwhile... To fill up the at least 2 songs per week (the one of December 11th and the one of December 25th). But there... No idea about it!
The album title is not confirmed yet... To the point my folder of lyrics is just called "CD28". Yeah...

Enough said, enjoy!

Japanese lyrics

罪のない少女は孤独を感じてた、捨てられた
置き去りにしたみんな、いつか復讐していくよね
悪魔が痛みを引き起こす夜を待っていくよね
何もしなかったね、実際の犯罪だったけど

純粋な無邪気を恐れて腐らせていくだよね
感じた全ての痛みのために、犯人を見つけた
闇からの生き物は無責任の罰になってる
罪のない魂の手引きに値しているだの?

罪のない少女は孤独を感じてた、捨てられた
置き去りにしたみんな、いつか復讐していくよね
悪魔が痛みを引き起こす夜を待っていくよね
何もしなかったね、実際の犯罪だったけど

愚かな人々が誰かを非難しようとしたとき
悪魔が現れて彼らを地獄に連れて行った
最悪の拷問は彼女の痛みに等しいの?
日まで最終的に間違ったことを理解して

影は常に誰かが拷問されるのを待ってる
罪人はおもちゃになり、悪のために罰せられて
破損した小さな天使たちは闇に戻ってる
痛みを伴う感情は、白い衣でさせてるの?

Original English text

The innocent girl felt alone and abandoned
Everyone that had left her behind, she'd revenge someday
Waiting for the night the demon will cause pain
They didn't do anything, but this is their actual crime

Leaving the pure innocence being corrupted by fear
For all the pain she had felt, she found the culprit
The creature from darkness will be the punishment of irresponsability
Do they really deserve to be the guides of innocent souls?

The innocent girl felt alone and abandoned
Everyone that had left her behind, she'd revenge someday
Waiting for the night the demon will cause pain
They didn't do anything, but this is their actual crime

And when the foolish people tried to blame someone else
The demon appeared and took them into its own hell
Would the worst torture be equal to her pain?
Until the day they will finally understand what they did wrong

The shadows are always waiting for someone to torture
Sinners become mere toys, punished for their evil
While corrupted little angels go back to darkness
Does their painful feelings let them in their white dress?

And French adaptation!

La petite fille innocente a attendu seule et abandonnée
Tous ceux qui l'avaient délaissée, un jour contre eux elle se vengerait
Attendant la nuit où le démon leur causera de la peine
C'est bien leur crime de n'avoir strictement rien fait

Laissant la pure innocence être corrompue par la peur
Elle avait trouvé un coupable pour tout ce qu'elle avait senti comme douleur
La créature des ténèbres sera le châtiment d'irresponsabilité
Méritent-ils vraiment d'être les guides d'âmes sans péché ?

La petite fille innocente a attendu seule et abandonnée
Tous ceux qui l'avaient délaissée, un jour contre eux elle se vengerait
Attendant la nuit où le démon leur causera de la peine
C'est bien leur crime de n'avoir strictement rien fait

Et quand les imbéciles ont tenté de blâmer un d'autre pour leur douleur
Le démon est apparu et les a emmenés vers son enfer
La pire torture pourrait-elle égaler les sentiments dont elle a soufferts ?
Jusqu'au jour où ils comprendront finalement leur erreur

Les ombres attendent sans cesse quelqu'un à torturer
Les pécheurs ne sont plus que des jouets, punis pour leurs péchés
Alors que de petits anges se retrouvent dans les confins de l'obscurité
Leurs sentiments douloureux les laisseront-ils dans la robe blanche qu'ils sont en train de porter ?

Explanations...

Tested again Nectar 3 Elements, still some difficulties to manipulate, that's why mastering and voice sound a bit different than usual.
Story: it's inspired by a real fact, quite hard to explain. The initial thing was there was a Youtuber I'm following, who actually got threatened by parents complaining about their kids being traumatized by some of her videos, despite all the warnings there were and the obvious thing that the videos in question were not for kids. So this is a bit my "personal revenge". It became a song that seems quite absurd, where children, to revenge against the parents who let them see traumatizing things, call out demons so the parents get punished. It's really "the extreme absurd".
More seriously, if ever you're a parent and that your kid wants to get to contents that aren't of their age, don't let them get traumatized. And don't reject fault on the others, the only responsibles in the story, it's yourselves.
And if ever you don't obey... Be careful to shadows before the demon grabs you and shreds you into tears... Woopsie, wrong song.
Music: accoustic guitars by Sakura, bells and koto by M1, electric guitar by Slayer.

Japanese lyrics

遠くで、このすでに傷ついた体で苦しんでいるよ
運命を破壊したい憎悪の神に押し戻されてた
何をしても立ち上がって抵抗し続けるでしょうよね
大惨事が不公平な決定の結果のみになる場合

流れる赤い川の端に、幸せから生活を分離していくよ
愛が彼らの深い憎しみよりも強いという生きた証拠になる

遠くで、このすでに傷ついた体で苦しんでいるよ
運命を破壊したい憎悪の神に押し戻されてた
何をしても立ち上がって抵抗し続けるでしょうよね
大惨事が不公平な決定の結果のみになる場合

深紅の海の向こう側に着いたら、ものではないものをとるようになった
憎しみに満ちた生き物には、君と一緒に保つ権利がはないね?

あなたを連れ去ることについてどう考えたでしょうのね?
残酷な冗談、逃げるのを嫌った、炎に送り返した
したことに対して十分に罰することはできないよ
この場所を出る前にあなたを抱きしめることができるよ

Original English text

In the distance, I am suffering in this already wounded body
Pushed back by a hateful god who wants to destroy my fate
I'll continue standing up and resisting no matter what
When catastrophes will only be consequences of unfair decisions

At the edge of a red river flowing, separating our lives from happiness
I will be the alive proof that love is stronger than their deep hatred

In the distance, I am suffering in this already wounded body
Pushed back by a hateful god who wants to destroy my fate
I'll continue standing up and resisting no matter what
When catastrophes will only be consequences of unfair decisions

Arrived to the other side of the crimson sea, I came to take what doesn't belong to them
Hateful creatures don't have the right to keep you with them, don't you think?

How could they have thought about taking you away?
A cruel joke, they rathered escaping, I just sent them back to the flames
I can't punish them enough for what they have done
I will just be able to embrace you before we leave this place

And French adaptation!

Au loin, je souffre dans ce corps déjà meurtri
Poussée au loin par un dieu haineux voulant détruire mon destin
Je continuerai de me tenir et de résister peu importe ma fin
Quand les catastrophes ne seront que conséquences de leurs décisions aigries

Au bord d'une rivière rouge coulant à mes pieds, séparant nos vies du bonheur
Je serai la preuve vivante que l'amour est plus fort que leur profonde rancœur

Au loin, je souffre dans ce corps déjà meurtri
Poussée au loin par un dieu haineux voulant détruire mon destin
Je continuerai de me tenir et de résister peu importe ma fin
Quand les catastrophes ne seront que conséquences de leurs décisions aigries

Arrivée de l'autre côté de la mer pourpre, je suis venue prendre ce qui leur appartenait pas
Des créatures haineuses n'ont pas le droit de te garder avec elles, n'est-ce pas ?

Comment ont-ils pu penser qu'ils pouvaient te mener loin de moi ?
Une si cruelle blague, ils ont préféré fuir, mais les ai renvoyés aux flammes brûler
Je ne peux suffisamment les punir pour ce qu'ils ont fait
Je ne pourrai juste que t'enlacer avant de quitter cet endroit

Explanations...

I tried a different mastering by exchanging my good old Nectar Elements 1.00 by Nectar 3 Elements. It has nothing to do with its former version, and it thus gives a particular mastering. Will be using different presets depending of the singer.
Story: it's two families being in war. The girl of the first family is madly in love with the daughter of the second one, but they can't see themselves since their parents are real enemies. The heroine just sees an obstacle to her love, and braving the forbidden, decides to get to the home of the second family, who decides to murder their own daughter so she can't be taken by the first family. The heroine just revenges by setting the fire to the whole home and dying with the corpse of her loved one in her arms...
Music: plucks by FLEX, lead by Harmor, bells by M1, bassline by Transistor Bass. And of course Slayer.

Release date of CD27.5 + schedule plans for 2020

Posted on November 3 2019 by Tokina / Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

I guess I can now do the announcement, the release date for the album of this month with be on November 16th. It is called "PSYCHOCEPTION" and contains 12 tracks, featuring Yukari, Nyui, Oniko, Xin Hua, Ritsu and Zunko! The tracklist will be given the day it will be released, since there is a title that is still to be set to definitive.

For now I just have 2 private tracks to do, which means there will be no public track next week (Nov 4th-Nov 10th). The next public one will feature Sayu and will be on November 11th. Followed by a song for Itako on November 14th.

CD28 will be for either late December either early January, it will feature at least Itako, Sayu and Stella. Possibilities are that IA will be part of the featured singers, a bit less chances for Yukari, CUL and Akari.

 

Now let's get to the schedules.

For now, it's more 2 songs per week being produced (still getting my health back, slowly) with all deadlined songs being public, album being aired almost each month (it got jumped off for October due to time management, so shifted for November, and for December we'll see how it will advance). For now the albums contain 12 tracks in average, and half of the tracklist is public as soon the song is done, making the other half of the songs album exclusive.
Apparently the album exclusive thing seems to be a good thing for you all, and actually it also is good for me (because as you know it, I have now a limited storage for uploads thanks to Google Drive and that makes a good delay for blog posts and stuff).

So the next year isn't full of just deadlines being pushed back and constant fatigue, I'll arrange the things a bit for 2020, we already began the transition with the last album ("Calling Out the Sirens"), so this is how I'll behave for 2020:

- albums will contain at least 12 tracks. It's a good average, I'll try to not do 10 tracks/album
- however, the albums won't be monthly anymore. At the current state, they might be released every 2 months. The days for release will be on Saturdays as usual (in front of the computer without too much issues). So understand "as soon an album tracklist is done it will be released pretty soon"!
- for now only half tracklist is public. On 2020, only the first track of the album and the deadlined songs will have a public demo. All other tracks will be album exclusive. It will make the album even more interesting to download. And that's where the little table in the right column of the blog will be useful to you: to determine the date of the next scheduled public track.
Note: it is not impossible that for December 22nd, I make group songs. Hesitating between a trio song or a duet Akari/Yukari and a CUL solo. The second solution being possibly better at voice scale but more time consuming, knowing that the other deadlines surrounding it are December 20th and 25th (= very tight!).
- the date of the albums will not be revealed until all tracks (or until only 2 left) are done. Which means the mp3 file of the full song has to be complete, on computer.
- there won't be any crossfades for albums part of the "series albums". Series albums are all the monthly albums that have been released until there. The album "Imitation" is an out-of-series, meaning it wouldn't have been concerned in this measure.
- the huge projects (of type "Imitation") will keep their crossfades and their different booklet formats (these are usually huge albums). For now, none of them has been scheduled yet. But who knows, one year, it will come back. If ever it does, there will be little clues scattered a bit anywhere. It can be blog, Twitter...
- if ever you need an instrumental of an album exclusive track, you can contact me via the contact form of this blog (I don't give out my mail publicly, so once I replied you, keep the mail somewhere in your contacts in case you need to contact me again!) and I will give you the file. Ensure that your mailbox can receive mp3 and zip files, and that it can receive mails of about 20Mo of size.
- if you ever need a flp file, please contact me via the same way, and precize if you have FL Studio or not. If you have FL Studio, please tell me the exact version you have (version with build number). Please also watch out for songs that contain FLEX, Transistor Bass or Fruity Delay 3, which either have limited compatibility patches either none possible (for Transistor Bass and Fruity Delay, you must have at least the last version of FL 12 (12.5.1) ; for FLEX FL 20.5 is required (no compatibility patch is possible for FL 12)). I can make in all other cases compatibility patches for FL 9, FL 10, FL 11 and FL 12 (for the versions below, my license file doesn't cover them). The songs having issues with compatibility patches have categories for their blog posts ("No compatibility patch" / "Limited compatibility patch").
Patches for FL versions 9, 10 and 11 require more time to be recreated. Ensure yourselves you also have licenses for the VST being used.

Also I forgot to tell, since last week, Japan and France have a time shift of 8 hours instead of 7. When it's midnight for Japan, it is 4 PM in France ; when it's midnight for France, it's 8 AM in Japan!

Have fun

Japanese lyrics

幻想の別の世界では、夢はなんとか生き残れて
最も一般的なのはまだ手の届かない宇宙から...

ユートピアのように決して現実にならないもの
頭の中にいる限り、まだ生きることができるの?

時々現実に存在するほど奇妙なものを見て
素敵な思い出に加えて、もう見たくない瞬間がある

ユートピアのように決して現実にならないもの
頭の中にいる限り、まだ生きることができるの?

ユートピアのように決して現実にならないもの
頭の中にいる限り、まだ生きることができるの?

Original English text

In another world of illusion, a dream manages to survive
From an universe still out of reach for the most common...

These are things that never become reality, like an utopia
But as long they are in our head, can they still live?

Sometimes I see things so strange to be present in the reality
Besides the nice memories, there are moments I don't want to see anymore

These are things that never become reality, like an utopia
But as long they are in our head, can they still live?

These are things that never become reality, like an utopia
But as long they are in our head, can they still live?

And French adaptation!

Dans un autre monde d'illusion, un rêve tente de survivre de manière éternelle
D'un univers encore hors de portée pour le plus commun des mortels...

Ce sont des choses ne devenant jamais réalité, comme une utopie
Mais tant qu'ils sont dans notre tête, peuvent-ils être encore en vie ?

Quelquefois je vois des choses si étranges pour être présentes dans la réalité
Hormis les doux souvenirs, il y a des moments que je ne peux plus supporter

Ce sont des choses ne devenant jamais réalité, comme une utopie
Mais tant qu'ils sont dans notre tête, peuvent-ils être encore en vie ?

Ce sont des choses ne devenant jamais réalité, comme une utopie
Mais tant qu'ils sont dans notre tête, peuvent-ils être encore en vie ?

Explanations...

No real story behind this.
Very few lyrics but I hope the message is quite efficient.
Music: double sequence pads by FLEX, vocal effect and arp lead pad by Harmor, lead by HALion Sonic SE, bells by M1 (the pattern only, the isolated bell is a sample by Native).
