New Ambience: Starbase Omega

Added 2022-10-19 15:24:20 +0000 UTC

Greetings Patrons,

I had quite a stressful week as I decided it was time to replace my 9-year-old, workhorse of a PC with a new one. The 2 days I gave myself stretched to a solid 4. And then - there was that terrifying in-between period where I actually had no computer at all because the sample drives (10TB worth) were disconnected and waiting to be installed into the new case. Yikes!

A few (ahem) mistakes notwithstanding, I managed to get everything back up and running and fingers crossed, this one will last me another 9 years.

I thought the best way to test out the new rig was to make something. So, this is Starbase Omega. It's a scifi/cyberpunk-themed space station/large ship with a mellow, ever so slightly psychedelic soundtrack. Musically, it's a combination of software synthesizers that my old PC struggled to run, and some lovely analog bass tracks from a hardware synth. I'm happy to say that the new processor was easily up to the task.

As this will be in sneak-peek mode on the site, I've included the mixed-version (on the site next week) as well as ambience-only and music-only versions here for patrons. In addition, I created a couple of no-people tracks that make it an empty ship/station. This could be useful for long space journeys or general machine/engine ambience situations.

Thank you all, as always, for your continuing support.

Best,

Tim
