Smashing Sounds With Nuclear Maths: HAINBACH's new Plugin Audiothing Arguments

video upload by HAINBACH

"Arguments, my new plugin with AudioThing is a vintage style test tone generator, a wild processor and a unique combiner of signals. From gentle analog shaping to old school oscillation to absolute signal annihilation, it is a true sound design toolkit Its core idea comes from multiplication modules in the Nuclear Instrumentation format NIM BIN. I have used these for a long to time turn simple signals into heavy beats and basses. With Arguments you can combine any two signals and lock them in a dance for headroom. Or you can use the integrated tone generator for lush 1960s sounding waveforms and pseudo-random noise. Or do both at same time. Arguments is meant to inspire you in your search for the sounds in between.

GET ARGUMENTS: https://www.audiothing.net/effects/ar..."



"Arguments is a vintage-style test equipment plugin for tone generation and dual audio processing. It takes two signals and smashes them together using math derived from analog nuclear research processors. The results are dynamic, often unpredictable but always unique. Since each part of Arguments can run independently, it also works as a sonically rich test tone generator, as a complex distortion unit, or as a multimode filter. Arguments open nature rewards exploration, the presets are a mere suggestion for you to jump off from.

At its core Arguments is an analog computing-based combiner and integrator of signals, re-tuned from science to musical use. These instruments were used in analog nuclear instrumentation modular racks (NIM BIN) to allow for quick calculations without employing a dedicated computer. Arguments takes two signals A and B (B is either external via side-chain or from the internal generator) and puts them together using the argument block. The result is then put through a function block that processes it. This creates a wide range of tones, from simple boosting to high-passed industrial grit, from rhythmic modulations to raw textures. A multi-mode filter stage then allows for exact shaping and modulation. We employed analog modeling at every stage to make Arguments sound not like a calculator but like the rare vintage units that inspired it. " Arguments is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux (VST, VST3, AU, AAX, CLAP, 64-bit only), and also as AUv3 and Standalone on the App Store for iOS and iPadOS.

HAINBACH & AudioThing Used the Moon as an Echo (And Made It Into a Free Plugin)

00:42 The Doppler Effect
03:30 The Astronauts
04:45 History and Pauline Oliveros
07:02 The Radio Telescope
09:43 Moon Bouncing
14:33 Making The Plugin

"I discovered the technique of 'Moon Bouncing', using the moon as an echo, when I was researching composer Pauline Oliveros. Her experiences with 'Echoes from the moon' sounded fascinating. Like with all experimental music techniques of old I wanted to try the process for myself. This started a two year long journey.

With the support of Martine-Nicole Rojina (who also helped out on camera on location) I got in contact with the radio telescope in Dwingeloo, a huge dish designed for space exploration. They helped me send signals to the moon: a sopranist (Johanna Vargas), a double bassist (Paul Cannon) as well as sounds from my patrons Sventothem, Michael Féaux, Andrew Stone, harper2k, Filip Ferngren, Dave Seidel, Gary Walker, Michael Peters, the void inclusive, Brendan Ford, David Williams, Joey Pop, Jeremiah Turner, Richy486, Joshua Philgarlic, Tim Moore, Grant Basma Horsnell, Arson Bright, Dan Kibke, Antonio T, Chris Sherman, Sergey, Charlie, Bartek Trame and Dixit.

This fascinating experience yielded an extensive set of samples that @audiothing and me analyzed and used to create the free plugin 'Moon Echo'. This way you can experience some of the magic of moon bouncing yourself. Download here (its free): https://www.audiothing.net/effects/mo...

"In our seventh collaboration with Berlin-based musician Hainbach we listen to the stars: Moon Echo is a free to download delay based on a communications technique that uses our closest cosmic neighbor, the moon, as a reflector for radio waves. This results in some rather crunchy and lively echoes, modulated by the movement of Earth and moon. The moon’s surface is an imperfect mirror and creates artifacts, unlike any other echo technique. Moon Echo is both a musical lo-fi effect and a playful tool for teaching about space.

Moon Echo is available for MAC, PC, and LINUX (VST, VST3, AU, AAX, CLAP, 64-bit only), and also as AUv3 and Standalone on the App Store."

The beautiful & scenic Taconic Parkway in Westchester County, New York

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We take a ride along the beautiful and scenic Taconic Parkway in Westchester County, New York. The Taconic functions as a freeway in the northern suburbs of New York City and one of the main routes connecting north to the state capital in Albany. The highway is designed to be in harmonic with its landscape, sometimes broad and open, sometimes narrower and winder, as the terrain changes.

In this first of multiple videos, we start just north of its junction with the Saw Mill Parkway (as seen in a previous video) and heading north passing NY routes 100 and 133 in Millwood and Chappaqua (where CatSynth creator and host Amanda Chaudhary grew up), crossing the Croton Reservoir on the AMVETS Memorial Bridge, and passing Franklin D Roosevelt State Park. We turn off the Taconic onto the Bear Mountain Parkway, US 202 and NY 35.

The music through most of this video is the track "Taconic Parkway Bridge" off of Amanda Chaudhary's new album January Suborbital Denomination. The track features composer and musician Jerry King on electronic guitars in addition to Amanda on keyboards and synthesizers. You can hear (and purchase) the album at:
https://amandachaudhary.bandcamp.com/...

Synthesizers on "Taconic Parkway Bridge" include:
Arturia Pigments, 2600 V, Synthi V, Delay Brigade
Arturia MiniFreak
Yamaha RX5 vintage drum machine
Cherry Audio Elka-X, GX-80, and Stardust-201 tape delay

video upload by Vöstok-one

"Time Intertwines,

In the morning’s chill, in the evening’s light,
Each step a stride towards hope’s height,
On the shores of the lake, where time intertwines,
Where the world’s beauty ever shines.

May the wind carry our fleeting fears away,
And may the lake whisper in our ears,
The secrets of dreams yet to be found,
On the path to tomorrow’s hallowed ground.

I hope you will enjoy this song as much as I had fun playing it."

Have fun with this almost 10 minutes of dark drone endless reverie shadows dance.

Verse 1)
Upon the blackened shores, where whispers roam,
Where windswept tales are carved in ancient stone.
In the misty veil, secrets softly sigh,
Beneath the northern sky, where dreams can fly.

(Chorus)
Black sands beneath my feet,
In Iceland’s embrace, where mysteries meet.
Where the wind’s wild song entwines with the sea,
In this land of endless reverie.

(Verse 2)
Through the veils of fog, a world unseen,
Where shadows dance and memories convene.
In the echo of waves, a melody untold,
In the heart of nature, where stories unfold.

(Chorus)
Black sands beneath my feet,
In Iceland’s embrace, where mysteries meet.
Where the wind’s wild song entwines with the sea,
In this land of endless reverie.

(Bridge)
In the depths of the night, where stars ignite,
In the soul of Iceland, where magic takes flight.
Through the misty morn, the secrets call,
In this timeless land, where wonders enthrall.

(Chorus)
Black sands beneath my feet,
In Iceland’s embrace, where mysteries meet.
Where the wind’s wild song entwines with the sea,
In this land of endless reverie.

(Outro)
In the whispers of the wind, I find my song,
In Iceland’s embrace, where I belong.
Forever bound to this ancient land,

I hope you will enjoy this song as much as I had fun playing it."

O'Shaughnessy Boulevard, San Francisco

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We ride along O'Shaughessy Boulevard, which runs along the west side of Glen Canyon Park from an intersection with Bosworth San Francisco (in the Glen Park neighborhood) to Portola Drive (in the Twin Peaks neighborhood). It provides views of wooded hillside, the canyon, and Sutro Tower. This scenic road was built in the 1930s as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project during the great depression. It is named for Michael O'Shaughnessy, the Chief Engineer of San Francisco from 1912-1934 who developed Muni and Hetch Hetchy Reservoir along with other infrastructure for the city.

US Highway 395: Owens Valley (Independence to Bishop)

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We ride north on US 395 as it traverses the arid Owens Valley on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada; we start in the town of Independence and end in Bishop. In the community of Big Pine, the Californa Highway 168 joins with US 395 en route to Bishop.

The Owens Valley is among the deepest valleys, wedged between the highest peaks of the Sierra Nevada and the Inyo and White Mountains to the east. The rain shadow leaves most of the valley a dry, desert environment. The Owens River, an which runs through the valley, has been heavily tapped as a main water supply for Los Angeles, which makes the valley even drier. Nonetheless, it is quite beautiful, as is US 395.

Wires Walkthrough

video upload by boxoftextures

"Just got Wires, a new effect plug-in from AudioThing/Hainbach. Don't think I've done an entire video about an effect before, although now that I think of it I might have made some looper and shimmer videos. But regardless, this was great fun, instantly felt I was in some '70s Le Carre spy movie! Did this on an iPad but there's also a computer version as well (Mac/Windows/Linux) which I also have.

Basically you're running your sound through a Soviet wire recorder, and there's lots of controls to mangle things in subtle or not-so-subtle ways. Tons of fun! I used a sequencer in this demo as that was my immediately imagined use case but now I'm thinking about how it could be useful for vocals, say.

I called this video a walkthrough, which I haven't really done before. It's not exactly a demo, but it's also not a complete user guide or review either. I do demonstrate most of the controls though so you should be able to get a good idea of what's possible.

With unique controls, an internal sequencer, 21 banks of 8 unique sampled atmospheres each, ranging from Autobahn to forgotten flight simulator and 118 presets lovingly crafted by yours truly, Noises is made to inspire.

We believe it is a unique instrument to add texture to your music and media productions, as well as becoming an important tool in your tracks. Get it now on intro price: https://www.audiothing.net/instrument..."

"A Twisted Rainbow Of Sound

Noises is an experimental instrument with a playful and inspiring interface, designed to bring a vast world of noise into your music and audio production.

Noises is the fourth plugin we developed together with German composer and “that guy with the sweaters” Hainbach. He crafted hundreds of recordings of rare vintage measurement and tape equipment, analog synths, strange field recordings, electro-acoustic and magnetic field experiments, and more in his lab to create this creative noise instrument with us. It is designed to be fast and inspiring to use, with a big dial at its center inviting you to search for sounds and a sequencer to make them music. This results in a minimum of clicks for a maximum of sound.

Used subtly, it adds coherence to your tracks. Used creatively, this can be the basis for whole tracks. It is easy to create modern scores for film, games, and podcasts with it and a quick tool for sound design. If you need a break, put it on and relax to carefully curated noise sequences."
