How I Did It
Tools I Used
Almost everything I did for this recording I did in VCV Rack. I used Ardour a little, but only to record the vocals and then organize all the tracks I had recorded so I could send them back to VCV Rack for a final mixdown.
Original Samples
The “wind” instruments are noise through a band-pass filter imitating Mutable Instruments Ripples, the “organ” is a Moog-like square wave through a filter (Vult Vortex) that mimics the filter on the Soviet Polivoks synths, the bass is Karplus-Strong (using the Vult Rescomb 2 comb filter), and the snare and bass drum are dedicated drum modules (VCV Snare and Vult Trummor 2 respectively) with parameters set to taste. The “lead” synth voice is just a sine wave with a lot of tremolo and chorus. For the final mix I also applied a bunch of chorus and reverb to my vocals.
Other Notes
I have uploaded the VCV Rack patch file to Patchstorage: https://patchstorage.com/wake-up-linternationale/
