The Deluge by Synthstrom Audible is a remarkable music workstation that makes a number of things easy, one of which is acting as a versatile sampler. However, I’ve seen other users state concerns about a problem that I also recently started experiencing: there’s not an easy way to identify which ( more… )
My first Volca Sample pack was a lot of fun to put together, but the Sample allows you to adjust your sounds pretty heavily, so I found that I was picking out the few hits I liked the most, adjusting them where necessary, and reusing them over and over again. ( more… )
Sara and I attended a lot of great events this last quarter, and not all of them were music-related. I don’t have as much time as I’d like to describe everything in excruciating detail, but July is already almost over, so I’m just going to bang this one out. April ( more… )
