gain is fine @pcnclghtnng and a very enjoyable pattern
so good i couldn’t resist remixing and folding it a bit (even tho i originally planned something else)

d1 $ every 2 (|+| speed "0.5") $ sometimesBy 0.2 (rev) $ every 3 (|=| speed "13") $ sometimesBy 0.1 (slow 2) $ sound "[~ ~ ~, ~ bottle]" # delay "8" # gain "5.0 .3 1.7"

d2 $ every 2 (|+| speed "0.5") $ sometimesBy 0.1 (rev) $ every 4 (|=| speed "13") $ sometimesBy 0.1 (slow 2) $ sound "[bd bd:4 bd:3, sn hh sn cp, can(3,4)]" # crush "8" # gain "5.0"

Hoy! This is wild @glia! Have to get everything up and running but I’ve got a script brewing for you…

feel a bit self-conscious posting this noodly offering right after @glia’s banger. Oh well - 36 hrs are nearly up so in the spirit of the battle here’s an effort at live-coding performance - fades, tweaks & small twists on @jasonw22’s last set of patterns…

this is lovely! It’s amazing when an artist can stay true to themselves across wildly different tools. Well done.

Maybe I’ll finally do some “serious” tidal.

wow, how did i miss this thread so far?
some really nice sounds in here.
have to try installing tidal on my mac over the weekend.
thanks for showing me another dark corner of sound creation.

glad this is getting some more attn and participants :blush:

to set the record straight i posted audio for the sake of those without tidal loaded up already not because i’ve done anything particularly great . examining the code (or evaluating the script) it’s 99% untouched

so credit goes to @pcnclghtnng for an incredible first volley!
just wanted others to hear it…

@rick_monster if anyone should feel self-conscious in this thread it’s me

all of you have surpassed my understanding of tidal and i’m going back to the references to decipher how each element and function contributed to your sound

excellent work so far and it’ll be fun to continue learning as we make these

Can anyone explain how to install the sc3plugins? I’m trying my best to follow the instructions on the git page, but to be honest it’s way over my head.
Its says it should be as simple as pasting the plugin folder to /Usersl/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/Extensions, but that folder isn’t there.
Sorry to drag this all OT, any help greatly appreciated

I had to create that folder.

Same here. Just create the “Extensions” folder yourself and paste the plugins folder into it
Actually just finished installing everything on my Mac and got it working first time.
On to some Tidal explorations over the weekend.
Maybe I can create some good sample fodder for LCRP.

Thank you both very much
I had to create the SuperCollider folder as well, is this normal? I have a feeling that it is not, because now I’m looking for the samples in /SuperCollider/downloaded-quarks and there is nothing, even though Dirt is making sound.
Do I need to create that folder as well?

No, I did not have to create the SuperCollider folder.
There definitely is something wrong.
Can you evaluate Platform.userExtensionDir again in SC and check if you’re actually using the correct folder?

#52

Yeah thats why I was so confused, before creating the SC and Extensions folders, evaluating came up with /Users/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider like everything was normal. But just now I used the Go function in finder and it revealed where the real SC folder was all along so I copied the Extension folder there and everything seems all good. One strange thing though still, the Library folder under Users is slightly greyed out like it’s hidden or something.
Regardless everything seems to be functioning, and I have found the Dirt sample folders. Thanks again

Ok @glia @rbxbx we’re now a trio. I’ve combined everything we’ve done so far with randcat, its getting pretty crazy:

d1 $ every 2 (|+| speed "0.5") $ sometimesBy 0.2 (rev) $ every 3 (|=| speed "13") $ sometimesBy 0.1 (slow 2) $ randcat [sound "[~ ~ ~, ~ bottle]", sound "[bd:5*2 can:5*2/3 cp?, tabla:1/2]"] # delay "8" # gain "5.0 .3 1.7" d2 $ every 2 (|+| speed "0.5") $ sometimesBy 0.1 (rev) $ every 4 (|=| speed "13") $ sometimesBy 0.1 (slow 2) $ randcat [sound "[bd bd:4 bd:3, sn hh sn cp, can(3,4)]", sound "[drum(5,2) can:3, sid:3? hh cp, can?(3,4)]"] # crush "8" # gain "5.0"

I did! Really inspiring set up
Many thanks to @yaxu for this sweet enviroment. Now I’m slowly making my way through the tutorial, but honestly having much more fun making small tweaks to the codes posted about. I’d say in about a day or so I’ll get my confidence up and call someone out

[/quote]this is my zone
similar to sitting with a looped synth sequence and messing with a sampler or delay to warp everything

way easier than actually conjuring up my own functional strings

Am I the only one thinking about ‘transposing’ their favourite drummers into tidal patterns? Could be an interesting exercise to hone tidal chops & make the practice of coding less ‘happy accidents’ more ‘vocabulary’. Definitely would be a workout for the ears!
