Published on Dec 20, 2018 Funk Tree

"Merry Christmas to my fellow subscribers! Thank you Rohan and Ian (Synthstrom) for this revolutionary product. Here is one of my best older performances with Deluge. sorry I didn't have time to put comments into the video but I believe you'd love this performance too. If you hear some pop clicks it is b/c this was recorded with an old deluge firmware."

"IKEA Hack" Plate Reverb Part 3 (Free IR files!)

Published on Dec 20, 2018 LeoMakes

You can find all parts in the series posted here.

"Leo makes and gives away IR (Impulse Response) files of the now-famous IKEA Plate Reverb! And it's 100% free!

Viewers have been asking me about posting IR files since the first episode and I thought it would be a good video subject. So in this video, I explain how convolution works, walk you through the process of making an impulse response file and demo some sounds. It sounds just like the real thing!

You can download the free IR files from the following:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3h28jv0wap...

(You can load these .aif files into most convolution reverb plugins to get the IKEA plate sounds in your own music).

If you use these IR files and create some beautiful, brilliant, amazing music (or other art) please come back and share it in the comments below! I get a huge kick out of seeing my work inspiring the art of other people.

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2019!

Toraiz AS-1 Sounds (and Coffee) Part 2

Published on Dec 20, 2018 Stochastic Design

"The coffee-fuelled session with the Toraiz AS-1 continues. This time, we tweak a couple of the factory sounds to show how easy it is to go from idea to sound, and compare the clean sound with the addition of some built-in effects."

Part 1 here.

Orbital - Against The Clock

Published on Dec 19, 2018 FACTmagazine

"Orbital’s Paul Hartnoll went against the clock to see if he could make something beautiful out of vocal samples from a variety of British politicians. Why? He says it best himself: 'Why not make some sense out of a load of old rubbish?'

Using a couple of samplers and a drum machine, the rave pioneer had just ten minutes to build a track from a variety of manipulated samples, including a ‘Boris Johnson kick drum’ and a ‘Theresa May lead’, in the hope that the resulting sounds are at least 'prettier than when they went in'."
