Awesome stuff people! I love Halloween and make always a few tracks each year.
So i made one for this thread as well. A mix of mac and iOS tools (while most of the dark nicely Lofi energy comes from the amazing DRC synth which you all know is for iOS and mac/windows as well).

Great creepy atmosphere
Im not familiar with DRC, how would you say it compares to Moog Model D and Zeeon? (my current two favorite virtual analogs)

My friend has a thing for Vampires so we finally did this track 🧛🏼‍♂️

Definitely the smoothest jam of this thread.
What is that music version of youtube you linked?

DRC is up there with ModelD and Zeeon in my opinion. It has its own character. The devs have promised AU compatibility at some point.

@1nsomniak
DRC is great. and @Fruitbat1919 nailed it. It has its own character. I ended up buying it on iOS and Android

BTW, you can check their tutorials on youtube. Imaginando does a great work at showing how to build patches of famous songs:

Loving your tracks so far guys!

While Zeeon and Model D are better in some areas DRC is brutal and beats them for really dirty and gritty sounds. The gain staging is a lot fun there.
Also it has some nice FX which you can modulate.
Last but not least it has (for me) the best GUI and workflow from these 3 and i can use the same sounds on my iPhone, iPad and mac.

Everything on the Fucking With Electricity channel was designed with unease in mind, but I am offering up this one:
Thumbjam, BS-16i, Medly, Audio Reverb.
Fangs for listening!

The idea is of walking down a creepy street alone in the night. Not sure if it hit the mark or not, but was strapped for time

My little Halloweenish ditty

iOS apps used:

BM3 and AUM
iBassist and Funk Drummer
iFretless Bass, Syntronik, Jubal Flute, Sensual Sax, Galileo 2, Shoom and Finger Fiddle
Kosmonaut, FAC Maxima, Turnado, Audio Reverb

Love the bridge where the bass stops for a while. Very atmospheric. Definitely gives a sense of walking down a creepy street whilst pretending you are not scared!

Here is my 2 cents soup, hope you enjoy it with some onions

Plenty of the appropriate ingredients in that soup that tastes even better as you get towards the bottom of the bowl!

Builds nicely with some lovely Halloween inspired themes.

Ok here's my horror theme...

Apps used: SpaceCraft x2 - still my go to source for inspiration.
Zeeon x4 - just got it, new favorite that isn't SC. I think all sounds were from the forum's preset bank.
Ratshack Reverb, FuzzPlus3, AUM
finished in Ableton

Love this, especially those drums. It has a great potential as a movie soundtrack.

Thanks for your comment. Your song is just amazing and very intense. The voices at the end are the right cherries on the cake for a great ending. I pretty much like the bells you are using here

I hope i´m in the rules...at least it´s exact 3 minutes
Enjoy this distorted nightmare

Another track which would not be our of place in a movie. Great atmosphere and sounds.

GarageBand iOS (mostly Alchemy, GB Loops and random SFX)

Really professional sounding and contemporary (well to me anyway!) spooky themed love song

Yep, made me feel uneasy! Nice percussive rhythms going on in there too!

Some lovely sounds and melodies in this. It definitely has a more "feminine" feel and suits the title but maintains a sense of underlying menace and madness.

Thanks @cuscolima . It is amazing how different a choir preset sounds as staccato rather than as a pad, isn't it!

I all but expected the singer out of Cradle of Filth to appear at some points! Loved the use of the popular french rhyme in there. Very modern death rock like piece which fitted the title very well

[Deleted User]

I’m getting very confused to what I’ve listened to or not now. Is there any way we could consolidate all the tracks?

Finishing up a track for this thread today!

Thanks for listening and for the positive feedback. (I envisioned Mike Patton vocals)

I was inspired by elements from two of my favorite Herrmann scores: The percussion in Taxi Driver and the frantic strings of Psycho.

This is something I’m working on at the moment, and it occurred to me that it sounds a bit Halloween (which is the day everybody says ‘Hello Ian’ to me). It’s not finished, not by a long chalk. Made in Gadget, four Lexingtons, Tokyo and Montreal, and two Zurich’s holding exported patterns I made in Electribe Wave.
(Rough and unmixed/unmastered)

SlowMotion

Wanted to make something for Halloween but I haven't had much time today so instead of a well-crafted track you get a short improvisational soundscape. Hopefully it comes across as spooky. I'd even settle for mildly unsettling.

Just bounced the track I’ll be posting in this thread — This is something I’m seriously excited to share! Bit late now so I’ll share it tomorrow morning (or possibly afternoon).
