Hands, With Occasional Face...
Fun with the Analog Four, driving an original Oberheim SEM and the Eurorack jank with its CV outputs. No DAW, no plug-ins, no computer. Everything is sequenced from, and mixed in, the A4. It's worth noting, if you're…

Man Of La Mancha...
Okay, here's the deal: I'm not a millionaire. Or even a ten-thousandaire. But I was always told "dream big!" And I do have a big dream. I've had this dream for a while, but I've only told two people about it, because I…

Hit That Perfect Beat, Boy...
As anyone that follows me on Twitter knows, I'm currently in Hood River, Oregon at my family reunion. I spent a chunk of time earlier in the week at J-Hi's studio recording the rhythm parts for what will be the next…

Let's Go Ahead And Kill Your Dream Early...
I typed up a fairly lengthy rant on the current state of Kickstarter that was largely triggered by this article. I think the author, while perhaps not exactly clear on how capitalism works, makes some very good points…

Mangleverb Overview Video...
One of my major failings is that I assume everybody else is as fluent with music software as I am. That's a bad assumption, given that I live, eat, breath, and sleep music software, and have for a decade. But there you…

Meet Mangleverb...
Hey, want a new plug-in? Why, yes. You do. And we happen to have one right here. Let me introduce you to Mangleverb. It's a reverb! It's a filter! It's a floor wax! It's a dessert topping! In all seriousness, it's a…

If At First You Don't Succeed...
As all regular readers of AI know, I've spent the better part of a year (and gone through two fairly expensive touchscreen monitors) trying to come up with a touch-based app for songwriting and live performance. I've…

Audio Damage Summer Sale...
When I was a little tyke, we went to visit my grandparents who lived in San Diego once. While we were there, I saw a television commercial (once, natch) that was so powerful in its delivery that I remember it verbatim…

Wicked Cool...
We had a fun week at both Audio Damage facilities. (For some reason that word gives me the gigglesnorts. I can't explain it.) While Adam largely spent the week swearing at our next product, I worked on an Audio Damage…

The Room In The Elephant...
Audio Damage is a month in to its 9th year of operation, and throughout the history of the company, there are some constants. I regularly receive letters that essentially say "your products look great, but no demo = no…

Fresh Coat Of Paint...
As you can plainly see, Analog Industries got a site-wide redesign courtesy of my lovely and talented wife. We also moved the site from the Audio Damage box to a grid server (i.e. The Cloud) because that's what all the…

There Might Be Something There...
My job, such as it is, is about 50% mining pixels, and 50% researching new ideas (or, as my wife puts it, "watching YouTube videos.") I spend a lot of time hunting down interesting new methods for controlling or…

At Long Last...
Only four short years in the making, the debut RT60 album is now available at Bandcamp, for pay-what-you-want, minimum $5. I'm not going to go at length in to the process of this album, because there are already about…

D2...
Forgot to post this here. I put this up last Sunday, a bit of afternoon jamming. No DAW, no plug-ins. Just Analog Four and modular. I was trying to get a handle on the A4's CV outputs, and it turned in to a reasonable…

Drive By Snark, Round 2...
So the big news of this morning is the trio of Korg Volca "analog loop synths" (their words, not mine) that further extrapolate the idea of the original Monotron in to its obvious conclusion. I'll be honest and say…
