Tracking / Re: How to volume slide
« on: January 20, 2018, 02:52:56 »
Thanx! I tried 1 but it got a bit hairy, meaning point 2 was out of the question, and I didn't even think twice ignoring the other 2: no way I'm touching those envelopes (Kiarchive instruments), and resampling feels like cheating to me  :P

In the end I just put like 4 evenly spread Gxx effects, coinciding with the bassline chords in increments of 5. It's fine grained enough. Every other volume change feels a bit abrupt but it's not TOO bad (read tolerable) so I'm leaving it alone  ;D

Tracking / How to volume slide
« on: January 19, 2018, 17:29:58 »
OK, here's the deal: I'm composing a tune for a game I'm making and I can't get a good volume slide I need. It's a piece for brass and woodwinds, a sort of Big-Band sound as opposed to "chiptune". The thing is I'm going for a smooth volume slide across the 1st 3 patterns, starting with a very low (yet audible) volume going all the way up to full volume. Think Maurice Ravel's Bolero, not the original version but the modern reinterpretation.

What I originally did was set the volume with effect G04 in the 1st row, and using the same effect at regular intervals, 6 steps in total, I'd increment the volume as the sound got fuller (more instrument sections come in). Unfortunately, even by adding finer steps, it still always sounded like a "staircase" effect on the volume, were the volume changes were way to noticeable. Then I tried using H10 to make small but frequent enough slides, but it slides way to much, way too fast.

I'm writing it in MilkyTracker, and the speed and BPM are 7 and 120 respectively. If anyone here can give me some tips, recommend some technique(s) I could use, Id be very grateful. Thank you for your time.
