Hi, the link is broken in your post. This one should work:

Appropriately named song

Also, the track needs to be downloadable from SC (Track -> Edit -> Permissions).

Entry for OSC#181: Psyllium Disco

https://soundcloud.com/slugnest/osc-181 ... al_sharing

"Captain Silverpants was so excited to have received the bulky package of little seeds from the man from Aberdeen. He had ingested the lot about 30 mins ago - his eyes were closed letting the feeling grow and grow. Where would it take him..?

Hours later, reading Wikipedia while still on the toilet, he discovers that, despite it's funky name, psyllium is mostly used a constipation remedy..."

28 instances in Live 11 with Delays, Saturation, Limiter, Reverb, Auto Filter, Auto Pan, Redux, EQ8, Compressors. Valhalla Supermassive as only non-DAW effect.

NOTE: My Soundcloud account got hacked and someone took my "hennessey" URL. Luckily all my tracks are still in my account, so if you want to head back to my first OSC (where I submitted 5 tracks -- and thus the one entry per month rule was created. ), it's here:

https://soundcloud.com/hennesseyb/bh909 ... ets/osc-49
(11 years ago!)

If Soundcloud responds to my tickets and I get "hennessey" back, I'll update the URL. (If anyone know ways to get them to respond, I'd love to know!)

I'm also using "hennessey" in the song title now. I seem to have 2 KVR accounts. The bh9090 one from 2003, when this site was called KVR-VST, and the hennessey one from some other point. Anyway, all this to say it's all the same old person. Thanks to BJ, Richard, and all the other admins that have handled this over the years.

Aaaaah how I missed the OSC!

Happy Birthday to this wonderful community ❤❤❤

Special congrats to DoctorBob for what must be the longest streak in the OSC history!

I learned so much about sound design, music production and mixing through participating in the One Synth Challenge. I will forever be grateful for this amazing community. Hence the name of my submission: "Thankful"

I'm excited to listen to all the other entries of the month.
