TASCAM PORTA ONE & DELUGE // Magic of the TAPE

Dexba

"I just received my multitrack tape recorder, and I so pumped up. I've never used one, I've watched some demo and many, MANY videos on YouTube (and Instagram, where it seems to be mandatory). I will keep it simple: it sounds amazing. I am the farthest thing from an audio expert, but there is something really pleasing in the way the otherwise normal drums sound: they're at the same time crispy and soft, tight but rubbery. Loving that.

And, with the recording part taken care of, I could improvise a little bit with my guitar, and BAM, magic happened, and in just a few takes I was very satisfied with the result like I am almost never been since!

So guys, do yourselves a favor and buy a multitrack tape recorder (they are cheap), a guitar (they are also VERY cheap, nothing compared to a synthesizer), and maybe a Synthstrom Deluge too (they are not cheap, but they are sort of priceless for a quick idea laydown)."

Classic FX app - A bit more distortions
Igor Vasiliev

"In version 2.2 of the Classic FX app, a new LFO option was added to automate morphing and even more algorithms and presets that will give a completely new sound to any instrument or voice, from soft saturation and blurry environments to harsh and hard overdrives and lower bitrates. Details: https://motion-soundscape.blogspot.com

Classic FX application is a complete sound effects processor and a mono to stereo enhancer with equalizer, effects and reverb, based on specially designed high-quality processing algorithms and suitable for any kind of audio sources. Classic FX will add brightness and expand the sound space of any musical instruments, synthesizers, drums or voice."

P.S. Note the extra knobs on the front of the Polivoks desktop.

"Nyle Steiner made a single 'Rad EWI' for Michael Brecker decades ago. Years later, Nyle consulted with Johan Berglund of Berglund Instruments and now Johan's design of the NuRAD is now available and being enjoyed by some pretty great EWI professionals.

For info and to be on a no-pay wait list for the NuRAD, email TheNuEVI@gmail.com.

Here I'm playing Arturia SEM V plugin sounds I made myself layered with other stuff in Logic Pro. I adore this instrument and love playing it! So very expressive."

Subterranean Devil by Everett Dudgeon (Prophet X)

EverettDudgeon138

"I recorded a bunch of tracks this weekend and made sure they were all reflective of different styles. This first one is a quick Ifukube inspired piece. Nothing fancy but I really wanted to capture that classic Showa era Kaiju type score that you would hear Ifukube do for Frankenstein Conquers The World or Varan The Unbelievable. I think it turned out well.

The Prophet X is doing everything. Piano, Strings, Horns, Bassoon, Clarinet, Flute, Cymbal Roll, B3 Organ

I couldn't resist using one of my favorite Kaiju as an inspiration for the piece as well. ;)
