Wanted to get a little more familiar with some of the presets in Exaktlite - got some jungle goodness going on here. I'd like to keep working on this track but wanted to share what I've got so far. Download links for this free plugin are in the pinned posts, go grab it! Edit: I mixed this and arranged it slightly for a version I like better :-)

I liked some of the presets of Exakt Lite a lot, but as I played around with it, I found it kind of glitchy when it came to loading and searching the presets. Also I found it a little limiting to control the sound. Some of the presets have annoying tails of white noise that I couldn't seem to find a way to remove inside or outside of the VST. My submission is a 90's Drum and Bass track. A nod of the head to Dillinja & Lemon D (jazzy and Grimey all in one). It was fun to make, but I had to break a few rules. Sorry @Zach Burger @Skyler Newsome. I brought in a piano. And the rides for the synth drums were awful, so I brought in some others. Also I techically wrote in 170 Bpm and it's 1:48 long.

If you haven't checked out the database recently, there is a tab at the top for Artifx Skool Community Challenges. When you click it, it pulls 5 random VSTs - 2 instruments, and 3 effects. Those are the tools you have to whip something up! I received Magical 8-bit Plug (which I love) and Big Bang Orchestra from VSL (who I also adore, but haven't used that particular plugin). The effects I was given were Biquad2 by Airwindows (admittedly I didn't use much of this one), Hysteresis (which is CRAZY as a delay and mod), and TAL-Filter-2 (which I really enjoyed). Check out the video of me playing around with them for a 14 second snippet here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITydP2JtE8Q Have any of you used these plugins before? Any advice for making Biquad2 a little more useful? Maybe I wasn't understanding how to use it very well lol.
