It’s finally here! The Otaku Drum Samples Vol.2 has been almost a year in the making. Over 800 sounds in this non-recycled drum kit make it one of our biggest and best kits so far. All drums and samples have been run through analog Preamps, EQs, a Handsome Audio Zulu, & an SSL Fusion for added depth and character.
The specialist magazine for music, production and DJ-ing: BEAT combines competent hardware and software tests with committed reviews as well as reports and interviews from music circles and the music business. We report on music production with current synthesizers and computers, present new trends in the field of recording and are always up to date with the latest reports. Many specialist authors known on the market report on the widespread music production solutions and experienced editors look after the entertainment and scene topics.
Trappy Dubstep – a collection of half step beats, percussion, bass, synths and FX covering a range of tempos.
Discord4 is the latest version of our most popular and long-lived product, our Discord stereo pitch shifter. Originally modeled from the H910, Discord has long since become its own effect and a studio standby, and this version includes major additions to further stretch its capabilities. The pitch-shifter consists of three separate algorithms: a “vintage” mode (the original Discord algorithm, modeled on the Eventide H910 and H949), a “clean” mode for more modern shifting sounds, and a “granular” mode for experimental effects. Each mode has its strengths, depending on the input material, and Discord3 has a broad palette of capabilities as a result. The P1 and P2 algorithms have full control over the buffer (window) size of the shift effect, for fine tuning the shift to the input signal, or for stranger sound effects. At the extremes of the six-octave shift range, some truly strange aliasing and artifacts can be had with this control.
Straightliner is a straight-lined and modern approach to subtractive synthesis. Instead of trying to faithfully emulate old analog synthesizers with all their physically imposed limitations, Straightliner takes full advantage of the extended possibilities that software based synthesis offers: the oscillators support loading of arbitrary (single cycle) audio files. Flexible modulation generators, which allow to define an arbitrary number of breakpoints, are available for pitch, filter-frequency and amplitude. The filter has a lot of different modes, among them the usual suspects like lowpass, highpass, bandpass and a sophisticated Moog-filter model. The whole signal path is laid out in stereo which allows for big and enveloping sounds even without any effects. The user interface of the synth focuses on visual editors instead of the commonly seen hardware oriented interfaces.
In this course, we will use the real-world experiences of the award-winning instructor and university music production professor Dr. Jason Allen. But don’t be worried – Dr. Allen is best known around campus for keeping things simple, accessible, useful, and fun. Dr. Allen is a professional musician, top-rated instructor, and university professor. In 2017 the Star Tribune featured him as a “Mover and a Shaker,” and he is recognized by the Grammy Foundation for his music education classes.
