I just bought a new synth.
You know what I do first with new synths.
This is u-he's Diva. After Zebra, I bought it almost sight unseen. I don't regret it.
Also, I played all this in live, with several drinks in me.

@Danny Stewart: Yes, well, where Mr. Wizard fears to tread is probably best left unvisited. I actually have the old gigastudio rig networked with VNCThing and a little piece of proprietary script written by the tech who built the rig. Works great, but sometimes has been difficult to set up in a new location. I suspect, somehow, that in the end, what one thinks one gains by setting up a CPU hog to run on a separate system is offset by the time it takes to make it all come together. I've been thinking again about hardware synths, which surprises me a little. I did that gig for so long and, when I moved them all out of the studio, I felt so much better. But now....I don't know....it's not the sound I crave, it's the focus. Devoting a machine to a VI feels like it might bridge the gap, fill the void, rock my world. Who knows?

@Dreamland Fantasy 夢境的幻想: You're very kind. Something about this theme really stands out to me too, and I'm very pleased with it. Thanks very much.

This is a great rendition of the theme. I love the instruments you've used.

@Deon Vozov: Even I, Mr. IT Wizard, am afraid of networking setups for music. (Not that I really have the computers to spare anyway, but still.)

@Danny Stewart: This suggests buffering to me. Interesting. I encounter similar problems/fixes when I have multiple VIs running within a cue. I have considered off-putting VIs to different Mac Minis, but the whole networking setup makes me queasy. I get so tired of the tech getting in the way of my work. But, what's a girl to do? Tech, tech, tech.

@Danny Stewart: Awesome! I had no idea about the twitter thing. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

@Deon Vozov: Just doing some further testing here… even with JUST the bassline set to Divine and all the others set to "great," my computer BARELY makes it through the entire project. It didn't make it the first time, but I played through it again and it did the second time.

@pineptones: Peter Howell, one of the original Doctor Who composers, posted on Twitter that he thought you were awesome, which is how I found you. So hell yeah I can do Popcorn. :)

@Deon Vozov: However, I bounced a new version this morning with everything set to Divine and re-uploaded it in place of the original. Feel free to listen again!

@Deon Vozov: I did not bounce it with everything set to Divine mode; only the bass and lead sine melody were. Everything else was set to "great" (the third of four levels). If I set everything to Divine, my computer is unable to play back the entire project, and there are only seven tracks. It hammers the CPU pretty hard in Divine mode; my MacBook Air was especially unhappy.

this is a shot in the dark, but do you think you could do a version of 'popcorn'?

Hey, Danny, sound good. Were you tracking in Divine mode? And, how severe was the CPU on your system?
