So Long, 2014...
Happy New Year, AI-ers! 2014 was, like most recent years, pretty awesome for me personally and Audio Damage as a company. I don't believe in luck (or, well, magic of any sort) but if I did, I'd think I had some. What's…

That was actually quite fun to do, as it turned out. Other than glancing over the questions in Google Moderator a couple times, I didn't do any preparation, so the answers are more-or-less totally extemporaneous. (I had…

Ten Questions?
So I have this idea of doing a monthly YouTube video. "PARTY!!!" you all scream at the top of your lungs! You're all a bunch of cynics, and frankly I'm amazed I'm friends with you, because I'm not cynical at all…

Movin' Right Along...
I won't lie to you. The main point of this post is to roll that Doctorow photo below the fold so I don't have to see his stupid face when I check the site. However, I will use this opportunity to provide a general…

Dear Cory Doctorow: Please Shut The Fuck Up About Music...
Cory Doctorow portrait by Jonathan Worth, altered by me for comedic effect. Cory Doctorow did a Q&A on iO9 today, wherein he provided everything you need to know about making a living in the arts in the Internet Age…

It's Gettin' Hot In Herre...
So, a glance at the calendar (well, a glance at Calendar.app, which is the functional equivalent) shows that NAMM 2015 is just around the corner. It seems like only 10 months ago I was at NAMM 2014, trying to keep the…

All That Jazz...
It's official. I've reached peak Number Of Projects I Can Do At One Time. Which is, as it turns out, almost entirely, but not completely, unlike Peak Oil. First, as many of you know, I'm in the process of making a new…

On Working In The Creative Industries...
(Sorry for embedding this from Daum, and the inevitable confusion that will cause, but two things: first, I'm a shareholder, so fucking take your Korean YouTube and like it, and second, the Paley Center, for reasons…

On Creativity...
Long-time readers will know my fascination with the discussion of creativity, and its care and feeding; in point of fact, many of you come here specifically for that discussion when it rears its head, and not (evidence…

Sequencer 1 Now Available...
As the title says. We're "soft-launching" Sequencer 1 today, shipping on Friday. We got the first few units in the office today, and we're going to sell this little batch direct before we stock the retailers. If you hit…

Various Things And Stuff...
And now I want to start every sentence with a conjunction, in the hopes that it'll annoy Chris Killer. But that's just petty. Or is it? Anyhow, this is my usual "here's what we're up to" post that I put up in lieu of…

Shitcockery...
The video above is outstanding. There's no other way to describe it. I'm not a big Goldie fan, being more on the Roni Size side of the fence when it comes to rollers, but the Heritage Orchestra performing Goldie, with…

Notes In A Row...
The next big hardware product from Audio Damage, Sequencer 1, is about to go in to production (one could argue it has actually already entered that state, as the front panels were ordered and the 1st Article is being…

Monophony...
Well, that only took us a year, but it's finally out. We're pleased to announce Basic is now available in the AD store for immediate purchase. You'll recall we've had two discussions on AI about mono synths, here and…

News Of The World...
That's the next Audio Damage VST/AU plug-in, right there. You'll meet it on Thursday. In other news, as many of you know, our friend Jeremy Highhouse (man-about-town in PDX, the other half of RT60, and one of the nicest…

I Downloaded This Amazing Free Plug-in, And You Won't Believe What Happens Next...
I'm experimenting with clickbait-style post titles. Other audio blogs appear to be testing the waters with this information abortion, so I figure "hey, why not join the crowd?" How am I doing? Anyhow, this is just a…

The New Shit...
We unveiled this module this morning at the Muff Wiggler / Trash\ Audio synth meet in Portland, and here's some info on Sequencer 1. The astute among you will notice a passing similarity to the Elektron Analog Four, and…

Birth, School, Work, Death...
It's getting tedious saying "holy shit I'm working a lot sorry for not posting blah blah" but you all know that, so I won't bother reiterating the point. On Tuesday next, me and the missus leave on a much-needed…

Let's Talk Mono-Synths...
I was joking to my wife the other day that I have like five jobs right now. Which made me sob a little on the inside, because I actually do. In my ludicrous amount of free time, I'm trying to come up with the archetype…

My Current Toolset...
Hey, hey, it's time for WORKFLOW talk! One thing that has been happening to me with alarming frequency lately (due in no small part to dipping my toe in the torpid waters of academia) is that Dude makes a declarative…

The Usual Wednesday Bullshit...
Time for an omnibus update. In no particular order: 1\. I'm deep in the mixing for my next release, which is, as it happens, a full album, not an EP, and far more "produced" than my last few releases (which are mostly…

It's Process Day!!!
My attempts at creative endeavors over the weekend were utterly and completely foiled by hardware (not software!) problems. My Maschine Studio got crashy all the sudden, I had to whittle a new tape loop for the echo…

Another One Down... (NAMM Report 2014)
Another January, another winter NAMM. Thoughts, in no particular order: 1\. Once again I'll state the obvious: Anaheim hates you if you're not there to go to Disneyland. I will again propose that NAMM move to the LA…

Good Times, Good Times...
Strange days are here. In no particular order... 1\. The video above is me giving a little workout to a prototype reverb module; same DSP platform as our current products. It is, given the constraints of the platform, a…
