  1. Hey y’all. Question for all the sound designer folks out there… what tips, tricks, workflows, or plug-ins have made your life easier?

    I’m getting back into sound design with a song I’m working on and honestly, I forgot how much fun this stuff is. Been experimenting with movement, space, textures, transitions, automation, all of it.

    I’ve heard of plug-ins that can make sounds feel super immersive and almost “3D” around your head. I know Logic Pro has built-in spatial audio tools and binaural stuff. Curious what y’all are using these days, especially for:
    • Easy automation workflows
    • Creative movement/panning
    • Ambient textures
    • Sound transitions
    • Accessible workflows if any blind producers are on here

    I’m doing this project in REAPER right now and just wanna learn from everybody’s setups and experiences.

    a synth-soaked ambient piece with accordion

    Accordions belong anywhere in any genre. No musical borders. That's my contention and I'm sticking with it. :-)

    For music nerds, the time signature is 7/4. The accordion is a musette tuned Weltmeister Achat. The synths sounds are all in GarageBand (the free Apple app) which just goes to show that possibilities are endless if you have a creative streak and like to play with sonic landscapes.

  3. this was my lucky access to Buchla modules on Monday. Complex waveform generator, verbos multi-envelope, and source of uncertainty. quad function generator also particularly fun. Recorded over an hour of fiddling with these toys ehem modules when a student was absent. Happy the conservatoire has these tools but not many students show interest unless prompted.

    On another note normally I find it so hard to get on with keyboards as a non-piano player. Guitarist. Different background. There is much to appreciate here. I have dedicated an upcoming episode in my podcast on pioneering electronic music composers to Subotnick and Buchla. even ADSR envelopes can be piano based in most synths but look at this… So much space for experimentation. Open space.

  6. 🎶 Ah yes, the thrilling tale of 300 #synths, 3 hardware projects, and an app that apparently requires a PhD in #MIDI jargon to appreciate. Because who wouldn't want to spend their weekend sifting through a database that's now as bloated as a synth enthusiast's wishlist? 🤯 Let's all pretend we've heard of the RozzBox One V2 and not just yawned our way through it.

  11. I'm most excited to share the technical video which shows all the new stuff I made during the PhD.
    Some eurorack modules, sequencing discs and switches, and mechanical small percussion. The video shows how each of them works with short examples.

    A seafarer is anxious to get to his love and asks the night, the wind and the ocean to help him. Romantic. French lyrics with English subtitles.

  14. A dark ambient song I have just composed, "A landscape of bells".

    PS: Believe it or not, I have done everything inside #Musescore, as an experiment.

  15. 36 Patches for Arturia's MicroFreak:

    Made with firmware version 5.0.0.2084, but none of these particular patches make use of the new sampler/granular features, so they may work with older versions, I’m not sure. Released under the Anti-Capitalist Soundware License.

    This thing is very fun to make sounds on. :)

  16. Wow so Daniel Miller got his MiniKorg 700S in 1977 for 200 pounds which would be about $1500 today to make Warm Leatherette, plus the TEAC reel to reel. These days $1500 covers the equivalent of that easy!

  17. 🎶☠️❤️ "Our Hearts Ride A Big Wheel" is genre-fluid, romantic and rhythmic with a quirky arrangement that blends accordion, guitar and synths.

    Real performances on actual instruments. No AI

    I wrote the poetry when I was falling in love with GDub, so, yes, it is a love song.

    We all go “round and round and round” with each other on this water-covered rock in space.

  19. I made an impulse purchase today at the music store. I did something that I've never done before, which is to buy a thing without hearing it. (I did hear like 15 seconds of it on a phone speaker.)

    I'm about to make a video of myself playing with it for the first time and finding out if I made a terrible mistake. (The thing in question is the green pedal on the desk.)

  20. Yoo any non-dudes build #synths and #sequencers from scratch? It's always Bread Week in this house 🍞 🔌 This is an 8-step sequencer, the row of potentiometers across the bottom #modulate the pitch.
