Ha! Sorry mate, worth a crack! Good luck man

Came across your post just scrolling. I'm not a musician at all. Out of curiosity, I figured I'd ask chat gpt and see what it said.

Does any of this help?

In ZynAddSubFX, you can create a warm pad similar to "A Warm Place" by following these steps:

1. Add a New Synth:

   • Open ZynAddSubFX and add a new synthesizer.

2. Oscillator Setup:

   • Use multiple oscillators with saw or sine waveforms. Adjust detuning for richness.

3. Envelope Settings:

   • Set a slow attack to create a gradual onset.
   • Adjust decay and sustain to control the release characteristics.

4. Filter Configuration:

   • Apply a low-pass filter to soften the sound.
   • Experiment with filter envelope modulation for evolving timbres.

5. Modulation Sources:

   • Use the LFOs for subtle pitch or filter modulation.
   • Experiment with the modulation matrix for more intricate control.

6. Effects Section:

   • Utilize the built-in effects, such as reverb and chorus, to enhance the warmth and spaciousness.

7. Fine-Tuning:

   • Spend time adjusting parameters and listening closely to achieve the desired warmth and evolving quality.

ZynAddSubFX is known for its flexibility, so feel free to explore various parameters and modulation possibilities. Careful tweaking will help you capture the atmospheric qualities found in "A Warm Place."

I guess it depends on the circles one resides in. Figured I'd include it for any people that come across this post that may not have heard of it.

Ah, thanks for the info and context. I hadn't used Audacity for years. Pity to hear about the telemetry

Why?

I'm putting it down to the Swans not having enough time to recover from kicking all those goals against us last week.
