Cool mini analog synths by chamber of sounds

I ran across this pretty cool site with little mini synths. Really cool stuff. Check em

http://chamberofsounds.com/

It looks like they are theremins that can be controlled with knobs? They look like fun and they have a way cool style. From the site it seems they are all hand built one of a kind items.

If anybody has some sound files put them in the comments below.

This video quickly shows you how to implement a touch track. Drag a midi region to the enviroment and you are halfway there.

The Amen Break

I’ve been guilty of using this break in the past. None of my tunes using it were ever put out though. I’m not much of a junglist.

Did I mention ableton live is awesome, esp. on multitracked drums

Yeah, well it used to be that if I wanted to use my own drumtracks in my tunes it was a hassle. Firstly, I dont have a kit anymore, secondly I suck.. Well, at least the tracks would stick out like sore thumbs against quantized synth and sample tracks.

Live 6 has made it too easy. At rehearsal I just thru up a couple mics and jammed into my laptop. Later, at home I rewired the live set to logic or protools and got down to bizness. Just select all the tracks and whatever warps you make to one affect all the tracks. Insane..

Used to be I’d take a stereo track and stick it in recycle to tighten it up, limited by keygroups and a stereo channel. Now, anything is possible.

Bassline were another thing that used to get the recycle treatment. Again limited by the keygroups in your sampler you had to plan ahead if you wanted to recycle an entire performance. Now I just plug in my bass, hit record and play through, knowing I can warp the crap out of it and swing the entire track on the fly.

Now if i could just write something worth recording….

tracking drums on the neotek

matt.coogan — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 13:21:22 +0000

Here is a sample of what we tracked on saturday. Its obviously sloppy cause yours truly hasn’t had chops on the drums for years now. But maannn, they do sound fresh. Deep bottom, crisp highs and really tight all around.

If anyone is looking to track some drums contact these guys. The drums were nothing special. Just had the simple setup; AKG D112 on the kick, Shure Sm-57 on the batter side of the kick, Akg 414 overheads, and some other dynamic mics I cant remember on the toms.
