Yup, Pretty Much...
Here is an interesting blog post from Too Much Joy, an "alternative" (read: college rock) band from the late 80s and early 90s that you might or might not be familiar with. They were on Warner Bros. for four of their…

The Same, Only Moreso...
Okay, holidays over and family obligations fulfilled. It's time to get back to work. Glancing back over the last month or two of posts has shown that AI has turned in to the iPhone And Tattoo Show. Sorry 'bout that, but…

Yet Another Tattoo Example...
Oh, you love it. Admit it. This is, by a country mile, the most complex product we've made, at least internally, and I have to spend a lot of time beating on it, which is how you end up with all these audio examples in…

Even More Tattoo...
Doing the final voice work today. Here's a clip with quite a bit going on: \[Embedded media, no longer available.\] The mid tom sound has every parameter randomized (noise level, click level, tone level, pitch EG amt…

Start Your Friday Right...
Interesting that Charlie Rouse isn't on this one, which is a German TV appearance from '63. Maybe he was in the bathroom or something. Man, I love this track, though. So harmonically interesting, and no matter what…

Tattoo's MIDI Output...
\[Embedded media, no longer available.\] This is a short example of Tattoo driving my TX802 via MIDI. No sounds are coming from Tattoo; this is entirely TX, with no effects whatsoever other than a touch of compression…

RT60 Live Shows Process #2...
After a weekend of experimentation with the rig I had pretty much decided on by the last post, I'm having serious misgivings. I'm finding that MainStage 2 is a bit of a resource hog; the same exact samples loaded in to…

The Usual Monday Bullshit...
This is a very heavy week for me. Lots of stuff going on around here, including visits from Midwesterners, the wife going to Vegas with the Girls for her birthday, the monthly hair and yearly dental appointments, and…

RT60 Live Shows Process #1...
This is the first in what will be a lengthy series of process articles about taking the studio material of RT60 on to the stage. My live rig is already mostly assembled by this point (just waiting on the nano Kontrol)…

The Usual Monday Bullshit...
Some updates... 1\. All the Varese and Schaeffer shirts have shipped, so if you ordered one, it is on the way. PNW should arrive tomorrow, with the rest of the US in the next couple days, and UK orders should start…

And So It Begins...
I have to say that I'm somewhat bemused by the people that are writing us asking about 64-bit versions of our products. It's like a healthy portion of our customer base suddenly kited work from Hans Zimmer and must…

Hi, My Name Is...
Well, I went to submit Plankton to the app store today, and after jumping through all the certificate and provisioning hoops, and assembling all my screenshots, icons, and meta-data, and filling out the page-long form…

Tattoo Test Track...
\[Embedded media, no longer available.\] Tattoo multiple output test... by Chris Randall Here's a quick test I did of the multiple outputs of Tattoo. There are 11 in all; one stereo pair plus 10 mono outs. This test is…

Visualize This...
Normally, my eyes glaze over about 10 seconds in to the latest demonstration of some guy's attempt to break down the barriers between something and something else, but this one caught my attention for some reason. This…

And Now For Something We Hope You'll Really Like...
Click for full-sized. With the caveat that the UI isn't 100% finalized, here you go. Have a gander at Tattoo, our first instrument. Some salient points: 1\. No samples. This is a drum synthesizer. Each voice is…
