Are you a She/Her or They/Them person in music? Hobbyist, professional, amateur, expert, anybody in audio engineering, sound design, music technology, etc?
Spectral Compressor. It's incredible that FOSS audio production tools are at a level where top EDM producers make videos about them. Props to au5 for acknowledging that it's not just free, but also open-source.
William Johnson is a sound designer, producer, and percussionist. He works on records and film scores.
He’s quite inventive overall. But this particular use of super balls on drums/cymbals is unreal. The sounds he makes here are unearthly and eerie to the bone.
Child of the mid-late 90s 3DFPS-www-newsgroups-icq-linux frenzy, experienced the rise of web 2.0 when it felt like the fediverse feels now. This feeling is part of the reason why I'm here - call it midlife crisis 2.0.
I'm going to do a new #introductions post and leave it pinned on my page.
Howdy, everyone! ^_^ I'm the creator of the YA Slice-Of-Paranormal-Life #graphicnovel#webcomic Wapsi Square. I also draw SFW and NSFW paranormal themed pinups that I sell on Ebay.
I dabble in audio #fieldrecording#animation and #miniature building. My comic can best be described as a Slice-of-Paranormal-Life, and some of the big themes are to not judge books by their covers, and learning to deal with your own demons, and mental issues.
If you'd like to check out my comic, the whole archive is free to read here: http://wapsisquare.com/
The sound is pretty involved, so this week I'm talking about just the glitchy looper part. I will make a part 2 soon, to talk about combining the looper with radio noises.
Here's the latest post from my blog! I discuss making "composite" sounds using FFT spectra for part of a current composition project.
My site is all hand-written, but I found that drafting as Markdown in my Joplin notebook, and then converting to HTML in the terminal makes me much more inspired to write.
The [fftz.ether~] object is comparing two sounds bin-by-bin and picking the bin that's quieter. One sound is microtonal (20-EDO) synth chords, and the other is a bunch of chopped snips of a noisy, lofi piano loop.
I also have snippets of FM radio static frequency-modulating the resulting sound, which I find sounds convincingly like the sounds are on a radio.
