We now have a total of 3 lessons on creating sounds. Lesson 1 – The First Sound – “Hello World” of Sound Programming Lesson 2 – Oscillators Lesson 3 – Filters We will be creating additional lessons on Amplifiers, Envelope Generators, LFOs, Function Generators, and more. Stay tuned!
We have had one of these for a while now, and have explored this in just about every way possible. I have been tasked to go beyond the box so I did just that.
Just last week, we provided a wishlist for NAMM 2017. Our Wishlist #2 was the following: “Akai to reissue standalone MPC with options for 60, 3000 mode sounds (want it fat and dirty? put some of the sounds on a kit in MPC 60 mode; want some color? put some of the sounds on the same kit in MPC 3000 mode, and the […]
Eurorack has come a long way in creating sounds similar to the classic modular synths. They consist of VCOs, VCFs, VCAs, EGs, and LFOs, Noise Generators, and maybe some logic and function generators. These days you will find so much more, like drum modules, wavetable synths, wave shapers and folders, effects, etc., and there seems to be an endless amount of […]
We are still experimenting with the best way to present our tips and tricks for some of the solutions of the most frequently or in some case least frequent but relevant questions we want to share with everyone. Many cases, words are fine, but we are at a point that we will begin recording screen capture videos to post or […]
What will NAMM 2017 bring? We hope lots of cool gear, software, and other things. There have been a lot of rumors all over the Internet about what may be coming. Here’s Our Wish List (not in any order):
Rob Papen released a long awaited update to the world renowned Predator soft synth with Predator 2. He also released the eXplorer 4 bundle at the same time. With eXplorer 4, you get a plugin called Prisma, but we were unsuccessful in running the product when we tested it. It would not pass the AU validator tool, so we will wait for the next release to test it in full detail.
It took some time for me to consider upgrading, with the issues I have had in the past with ProTools and El Capitan. Even at ProTools 12.6, I only loaded it on my test (non-production) system as I did not want to impact any production deadlines due to some issue with my software. At any rate, I have successfully upgraded […]
I have been swamped with much to do about so many things, I have been neglecting, procrastinating (add other verbs to postpone action) to post more frequently. And now it is 2017! One of my very few resolution is to update here at least once a week. Eventually, that goal should be once a day. 2016 was an interesting year […]
It’s quite disruptive when there is a software upgrade, and I rarely upgrade. Unfortunately, I had to upgrade for various reasons, so I did. I installed Avid ProTools 12.4 (I highly discourage this upgrade unless you absolutely have to – as of April 2016 – and if you can stay on 11.3, I would stay there. Of course that’s my […]
