    Pro-1 Alpha on monday

    just saying ... please be as good as I'm hoping - well, we'll all find out! You can hear the presentation here - although no synth sounds. They go into the challenges that emulating a Pro-1 poses here. I assume the alpha will be available on the KVR forum or u-he website.

    Inspirational Basslines

    I thought about posting this in Music Discussion, but, I think it's more use here tbh. Best oddball psytrance basslines. Try and avoid dugga dugga unless it really is unusual or innovative - please note, this is not about good production. It's for our mutual edification. The impossible...

    Boxy Vocals

    Suggestions? Live recording is something I've no doubt neglected up until now, but I'm actually quite stumped about this. I'm trying to record myself (I can sing reasonably well) doing fairly close mic stuff for vocal electronic stuff which I want to be heavily reverbed in the end. Now, I...

    Youtubing it

    Hey guys, started doing casual livestreaming of music production on You Tube for shits and giggles. Drop by if you're so inclined - just started today and trying to do a few a week. If you miss a live stream, you can always watch the archive. Hope it's fun for someone :). Here is today's...

    Swirly textures

    I'm wondering about people's current strategies for creating these. I hear a lot of them in both ambient and techno. Spooked out bangings and whistling steam pipes. Clonks and grinding. Now I have strategies for making good noises, but not always to my satisfaction (essentially, Alchemy, and...

    Hardware Sequencer/Master Controller for no computer jamming/live

    I've decided to start seriously saving for some ouboard instruments with an eye for ultimately getting a baby modular as and when funds allow. I'd also like to get more into live jamming on instruments and I think perhaps I'm gonna need some sort of 'brain' to keep it all together, and give me...

    Bazille

    Has a new beta, and is being released in July. I don't often pimp other people's product, but this thing is the shit. IMO. http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=411650

    Lazer kicks that fall behind

    I'm trying to write Nitzogoa, and having a problem with that ultra zappy kick drum built out of one swept sine. Now, I'd like to think I know my way around this method, but I'm struggling as the body and bass of the kick get's pushed back in time and make it feel like the sub is falling behind...

    Bit of help with tough maths :) arg

    OK, this is scrambling my brain, but I think it's possible - however, it's eluding me. I can smell a solution, I just can't see it. I tried asking on KVR, but nada. I know there are people who are better at raw maths than me on here too, whether it be intuitively, or technically, so I thought...

    What is your favourite LFO?

    OK - serious question - I'm designing an LFO module, and as it turns out, I don't use them that much and am struggling to come up with ideas that thrilllllll me darlings, so I'm after a nudge or prod about esoteric features on LFO units (or for that matter other modulation modules) that you've...

    Software Development of VST 2 ends

    Here we go, saw this a while back, and thought it was worth popping up here for anyone (and there are a few) looking to get into VST development. http://www.steinberg.net/en/newsandevents/news/newsdetail/archive/2013/09/03/article/vst-2-development-ends-2504.html If you think you might want...

    NOT composing straight through

    Sooo I finally stopped trying to write tunes from start to finish for a number of reasons, mainly though because I'm a lot better at coming up with ideas for short little sections then I am at coming up with ideas for structures of whole tunes, but also I don't like mixing as I go, and I'm...

    Fusion

    Saw this, thought it looked interesting. Lots and lots of vested interest, difficult to get an unbiased spin on it. http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/156393-cold-fusion-reactor-independently-verified-has-10000-times-the-energy-density-of-gas

    Gated Reverb

    Curious to know how people work with this in their mixes My current scenario is I'm trying to get that classic 80's gated plate reverb sound on toms and snares but I'm having real trouble getting the right sound tbh. I'm specifically curious about what reverbs were commonly used (if any) for...

    VST SDK Guide

    Or part one at least - sorry for the wait, seems to be a lot larger than expected ... think we are really talking about a book here, not a tutorial! This is the complete analysis of the example VST aDelay, how to setup the compiler, what compiler to use, and various other points of...

    could do with a bit of FFT help if anyone has a handle on it.

    I'm not trying to do anything exotic here, it's just a very mundane little utility program, but it's causing me major league brainrot and putting me in a bad mood, so help would be appreciated :-) All I wish to do is take an arbitrary 2048 (and only 2048, or 4096 etc) array of floats and...

    The writing issues thread

    So. It is that time with this tune I'm writing where I am starting to hate it. You know the one. You've still got a section to go, but you've got to bring something from before back in, in a new and interesting way, so it all sounds like one tune, and you're pretty much certain you're gonna...

    Filter design book

    Stumbled across this today: I know how long and hard I looked to try and find a decent paper on filter design in audio DSP, so this might be useful to someone trying to get into synth design or other similar field. This is a 100 page book explaining how to model the moog transistor ladder...
