Ceilings Of Sound PRO takes a truly unique approach to equalizing sound and is the first equalizer to incorporate the spectrum of noise as equalization “knobs”. 15 user-definable ceiling bands containing 49 noise-slopes each allow you to create sonic-ceiling shapes that drive the settings of a 50/31-band Linear Graphic Equalizer. The EQs operate at 0 latency, low CPU load yet are hi-precision, even at the low frequencies where it really matters. A “conform spectrum to ceiling” feature conforms your EQ to your ceiling shape with a click of a button. 49 ceiling guides help you balance your ceiling shapes to equalize faster and better than ever. This means whether you’re working with one of our hundreds of presets, one of your own created presets or simply manipulating the ceiling shape of your raw audio during mix-down/mastering, perfect equalization is a “click” away. We are certain that once you beginning using Ceilings Of Sound PRO you’ll quickly discover why it’s called a Hyper-EQ.
Viva freaktronica! This month’s Electronic Sound cover stars are the legendary Faust, the wildest and weirdest of the 1970s krautrock outfits. We’ve interviewed all of the surviving original members of Faust for our cover piece, which starts in Hamburg with two trios combining into a single unit and ends in Munich just five years later, when the police arrest half of the band at Giorgio Moroder’s studios as they try to complete their fifth album. It’s a madcap story of counterculture abandon, disregard for music industry standards, inter-group personality clashes on an epic scale, and the pursuit of bold and brazen new sounds. It’s one heck of a read.
