A Brief Audio Damage Update...

From the original Analog Industries archive. Some links and images from that era no longer resolve.

I know I’ve been silent on this particular subject for a couple weeks, but we’re in the midst of product dev, and I don’t like to talk about something until it is fully working, at least on the Windows side. So I won’t be. This one is pretty special, though. It’s a new take on our main forte, and should be pretty popular, especially with our customers that do more complex forms of electronic and dance music.

In other news I can’t talk about, something else happened that is rather big news, at least in the industry, but I can’t say anything until January. So forget I said anything at all, and just spend a couple minutes today being happy for Audio Damage, and leave it at that.

    You're such a tease.

    Does it have anything to do with Belize?

  3. Chris Randall

    You should know by now that it has _everything_ to do with Belize. Both the product and the Other Big News I Can't Talk About.

    Are you replacing the robot with Diamond Dave's face as your new logo? That would be swell.

    Diamond Dave is the next William Hung???? Say it's not so!

    > You're such a tease.

    Seconded!

    Hmm, a plug-in that has something to do with "complex forms of electronic and dance music" and has been mentioned in this thread: http://www.analogindustries.com/blog/entry.jsp?msgid=1157496719173

    It shouldn't be that hard to figure out! I'm gonna have to re-read that thread all over though...

  7. noisegeek

    You are an absolute bastard.

    To save you the trouble, as it's a largish thread, let me state for the record that the plug isn't specifically mentioned in the thread. That is to say, it isn't a hardware clone. It's its own thing. It is a combination of a couple different ideas presented in the thread, though, along with some of our own special sauce.

    We had started out on one tack immediately after the thread (which led to my initial post concerning same) but a couple weeks ago, we changed headings to a more suitable goal, which is what we're working on now. The pleasure of being a small company.

    As someone who's into electronic music, I can say that just after whenever the new plugin gets released I'll probably be quite happy but of course I can't tell you if I'll really be happy because I don't like to talk about it and even though it's really very special and I *know* you're dying to hear about it the whole industry might suffer it I do it so I'll just drink 10 shots of Tequila and forget about it.

    Dave, if you're reading this, don't worry, you can always find this information on the internets.

    Did you sell the company to Avid/Digidesign?

  11. ecallender

    Oh, no... you sold out to M-Audio? How many guesses do I get?

  12. joshua_schnable

    ecallender - you should know better. it was Behringer. though, rumor has it, Mackie made a competitive offer.

  13. Downpressor

    those "sold the company to ___" joke just write themselves!

    Heres my bet, CR found a chinese company to make cheap clones of SSL consoles and hes gonna do another bulk buy for all us loyal readers.

    I would just like to say: nothing.

    Bring some hardware out CR! It seems there is a trend that just begins. To turn software algorithms into dsp hardware boxes. Of course this needs some serious integration of your software.

    Nothing beats dedicated hardware interfaces.

    p.s: can you disclose that is this *new* software a synth or a fx?

  16. Rozzer

    congratulations on the er... thing.

  17. SR

    What a great excuse to promptly snap up another couple of plugs!!

  18. Chris Randall

    Making hardware is like making vinyl records these days. It's fun and all, but ultimately, you're pissing in the winds of change.

    -CR

  19. Downpressor

    Since my vinyl just went retail, I guess I've just pissed all over myself

  20. shamann

    "damn it! i knew it! roger nichols is licensing all your plugs, quadrupling the prices and requiring iLok!"

    Yes, I look forward to the rebranded Dubinizer, Pitchinizer and Lexiconizer.

  21. Chris Randall

    Downpressor, you can always take a shower and change your clothes after. If you're selling MP3s some place, I'll be happy to purchase, though.

    The label I'm using is very "young". They are just about to get stuff on with iTunes Japan and one of the cellphone company's music sites. Really neither me nor the label guy has thought seriously about distribution outside Japan.
