Profile

How would you categorise your musical output?
Odd, but yet a tantalizing mix of anything that i can get my hands on...

I like to do 'on field' recordings. I like to record the most silliest of sounds, then warp and mess with them until it sounds like something completely different...

Anything from Weird Sounds, to Rock & Blues, then moving on to more Electronic outfits like IDM...

I also like to solder and build my own little contraptions...

Plus as a bonus, with MAX/MSP on my side, I can now do loads of projects without the need for soldering and gluing things (But that was the most fun)...
What are your favourite pieces of studio hardware?
Mackie 1604-VLZ Pro
Mackie Control Universal Pro
Novation ReMOTE 61 SL
Dynaudio Acoustics Monitors
Digi 002 Rack
Which Digital Audio Workstation application do you use?
Logic Studio (8) (Home)
Pro Tools 7.4 (Work)

MAX/MSP 5.0.1 (Work & Home, using iLok smart key)
What's your favourite digital instrument?
Any type of Digital Instrument, that can interest me...

I am now concentrating on using MAX/MSP. So i have completely formatted my iMac, only installing Logic Studio to rewire into...

Plus also sticking on the Music Tech Magazine DVD samples on my external hard drive...
Who are your musical/production influences or heroes?
Frank Zappa...
Dave Friddmann...

anyone, who can make me hear something new...

Sample Freq Suite 002 Track - Water Glass Mind

Hello All, this track was made with the tools:- Battery 3 and Kontakt 2, also using Logic to record the MIDI into. Once the bounce and final version was done, i imported it into Pro Tools 7.4, to do all the weird audio warps and stuff like that. I think, from what i can remember, the tempo is at 300. The drums were made with the water drips and the synths with the bowl hitting the side if the bathroom sink Hope you like it LGE

6+4 Rules of Sample Freq Suite

Hello all, Here they are. The Rules for the Sample Freq Suite. Please do follow these rules. They are basic, but still it is worth looking through, just so then you do know. 1. NEVER use anything other than the sample(s) that is given out. Remember this is a test for oneself in the field of using samples, not for cheating. So any use of any built in Synths and pre-sets are out of the question. 2. You can use any means necessary to play with the sample(s); ie:- using a sampler (Kontakt, MOTU M… Continue

Sample Freq Suite (just heads up on the happenings)

Hello all, As you can tell the name has changed a little bit. I thought of the Freq thing when i was in a taxi going home. Plus it will go with the tasks that will arise very soon. This is just a little post to say how the first test is going with myself, which will then be put on to you very soon. Well for one I could not stop laughing, why? Because this first test, is quite a big test. But very very fun. Plus i was thinking 'how the hell am I, going to this?' But everything is cool now, an… Continue

Working on the file downloads and looking forward to the challenge. It will be interesting to hear what people develop from the simple sounds that you have selected.

Great work and thanks for the effort.

LGE,
I have nearly gone totally bonkers now, that f*ckin sample.
Spent the last two days studying sine waves and running phase experiments, my neighbours must be bald by now.
I have nearly read the whole Internet, but my PC crashed when I attempted to download the entire Internet. ROFLOL.

I was wondering, - the sample - are you allowed to directly edit the waveform with the pencil tool in an audio editor ?
Or is that pushing the envelope ? Too much ?
You get some really interesting results, I have been trying to make it look like writing. You should hear this shit.

I canny believe that I have spent all this money on Studio gear and top end hi fi, only to mess around with a sample sinewave of less than 1 sec duration.

You are a bad man.

Thanks,
Throbber.

Hi Lewis,
Listening to your synch plop track, could hear all the frequency range no problems, did not like the very high pitched squealing at very top of the mix, my ears were ringing out with these frequencies after listening. LOL. More of a whining sound you get from very high speed turbines, must be above 12K, it is below 18K, because I can hear it. I can't hear anything above 18K and I am not convinced that is a bad thing.

Well my effort is up there and I used nothing except the sample you provided.
Am I supposed to put a sample up now as well ?
I think I overlooked that bit, easy sorted though.

I am sure you will be having a listen to Syncho Psycho and will give me a review on the effort.
Can't wait to hear some other attempts.
Good idea man.

Thanks,
Ray Dayo.

Thanks a lot for the help about both the audio interfaces and home studio setup ideas. Really helpful. If I possibly go the Mbox 2 Pro route, what are the kinds of cables I would need to get for the Mic Lines? I'm used to the XLR females since I just realized the back of the Mbox 2 Pro has a lot more options for hookup. Thanks for the answers about mics as well, man. You know your stuff.

Hi Lewis, welcome to MTmn,

Nice build with the beats in Shameful!, one side of the Progressive breaks genre.

I think you need add a little more variation too inside the mind, i know its only a section from the full version, but a few teasers of what is to come would go down well. maybe a few track sections recorded to one and cut into small pieces, and then played/layered ocassionally, i.e stabs in the back ground with a little reverb to keep it at the back.

Thanks for sharing.
