Thoughts on a New Modular

I’m finally building a modular system. Let’s see what we can learn from my first report.

“Knödel die die Welt bedeuten” – Production Techniques

I did some research aka goofing around with Komplete, the Semimodulars, and the context of Cubase. This is the result

Review: Make Noise 0-Coast

Over 500 bucks for a single-oscillator synth module without even a filter – are you nots? No, I’m not. See what’s so great about the Make Noise 0-Coast

Both four-voice polyphonic analogue things. So I went to a music store and played them. A Superficial Review? I didn’t read any manual, nor did […]

Case Study: “Last Mile” in the Analogue Signal Chain

Right now, I’m making up my mind how to assemble the last few steps in the signal chain for More than Moore, my album project with an all-analogue signal chain. Of course, there’s a recorder (analogue) somewhere, and typically you’ll also have some kind of dynamic processing and equalization on the bus coming out of […]

Audio Engineering Myths: Phase Reversal

The manual usually tells you (in more or less detail) that it does something like “phase reversal”. You typically use it in situations where […]
