When I do a post like this, half the readership goes 'sigh. Another process post.' And the other half goes 'Yay! Another process post!!!' When I started blogging lo these many years ago (Jesus fuck, has it been 18 years?) I quickly learned that, even though my first blog was ...

Puremagnetik has just released a new Micropak called alphaSynth. It is a heavily re-tooled and much improved version of the sample set I used to have here that I made from the alphaSyntauri. They are much, much better at that sort of thing than I, what with doing it for a...

The vinyl of unsuspected sounds has arrived here at the compound, and assembly and shipping will commence in the morning. As promised, and since this is a good cusp, here are all the numbers so far, with annotations where appropriate. I had meant for this to be a learning...

If you point your browser at this little gem, you'll be rewarded with an interesting insight in to Apple's continual process of legacy software pruning. They learned long ago (c. OS 9) that it is far easier to just not support older software rather than try to work it in to...

Been a busy few days 'round here. 1. I went to L.A. yesterday. While I was there, I got a tour of NI's LA office. They have a nice office. It's just like the Audio Damage offices, except in a big building on the Sunset Strip, and with no empty monster cans lying about, and...

As I noted a few weeks ago, I got a Maschine Mikro. I've been very happy with the software, but for the way I work, the hardware was not up to the task. This is not in any way to belittle the Maschine Mikro controller. (Ha, ha, ha, see what I did there?). It is a fantastic...

The long-awaited day has come. I was waiting until the jackets arrived, so that I knew the most time-consuming part of the process wouldn't have to be repeated. They just showed up today, and look fantastic. So I've made the unsuspected sounds page at BandCamp live, and you...

I'm currently writing my next EP, and this album is interesting inasmuch as the particular set of constraints I've set for myself this time involve using only generative techniques for the sequencing. That is to say that while I'll be recording to and mixing from Live, there ...

As you know, I provide a public service occasionally where I point out situations where musicians are being taken advantage of. Haven't had to do this in a while (although TuneCore's 'Get My Money' boondoggle has been tempting me) but this here is a doozy, and needs to be...

As you all know, our good friend Wade Alin folded his Beatserv sample company a few months ago, due to issues beyond his control with his partners and other things. Much dismay and rending of garments ensued. Well, from the ashes comes Standard Beat Company. Wade picks up...

The funny thing about getting vinyl (or CDs, for that matter) made is that it is essentially a long, boring process, punctuated with brief flashes of blind panic. My sister has told me that this is what being in Iraq is like, but I don't think the parallel is very accurate,...

It's been a while since I did a Disembodied Hands Touching Gear video, so I busted one out this afternoon. I've picked up quite a few new pieces of kit in the intervening months, and some of it appears in this video. The bassline is the old MeeBlip, while the main melody is...

Sorry this took so long, but real life intervened. Anyhow, here it is: the last of Roland's four-book primer on synthesis, The Synthesizer. This one is mostly concerned with how to synthesize different string and drum/percussion sounds; there is a brief (and slightly...

Oh, taxes. Joy of joys!Oh, the flu. My favorite thing!Oh, MusikMesse! Can we get a minimum of one new plug-in format per major trade show, please? Oh, 64-bit updates! Saved the hardest for last, apparently! Oh, making a vinyl record. My credit card statement looks like it...

Heavy synth-nerdery alert. If you've been in the synth game for a while, you no doubt know about Joe Paradiso of MIT and his monster DIY modular. The video above is some basic background. I question whether it is the largest DIY modular in the world, but it is definitely...

I imagine you're getting sick of hearing about me being sick, but I'll absolutely guarantee that you're not as sick of hearing about it as I am of being it. I am paying penance for nearly a lifetime of being in perfect health, apparently. This fresh hell is some sort of...

The compilation has been mastered; I'm just waiting for the upload of the digital version from SAE. Some updates on that front: the name of the album is now 'unsuspected sounds.' This is from an Edgard Varèse quote I've always liked. The entirety is thus: I dream of...

Things are moving at a punk-rock clip in Compilation Land. The mastering session is booked for Thursday, and jacket and pressing situations are firmly in hand. This is an interesting process; while I've made dozens of CDs (comprising hundreds of thousands of units) and Wax...
