in sight of the shrike - project file!

(edit: some tracks were not frozen, now fixed and updated sorry!)

hi!

I don't have any phritz projects I can share for this month (I will have one for next month tho sorry) so here's the project file for the next tai hirose ep!

as mentioned in the previous post, it's not an entirely mind-blowing sound design-y bunch but I feel like there's some neat stuff that can be taken away from this (mostly arrangement stuff perhaps) so yea, hope you enjoy :)

in sight of the shrike (tai hirose upcoming ep)

hi! 

I made this short 4 piece ep for my 'tai hirose' alias the other day and thought I'd share it before it comes out! 

the hot days are over here in Japan and it's starting to take on some serious autumn vibes, so that's what this ep is kinda themed on.   

not entirely mind-blowing music tbh but just some calming music that's nice to listen to... haha View Post

botanical impacts - the making (project file)

hi!

here's the project file for the previously-posted botanical impact sounds - and I share this because each sound takes a slightly different approach in the creating/mixing process, which I thought was kinda worth sharing and slightly interesting to dissect. 

each sample is vertically aligned with its parental group so it should be pretty straightforward to navigate.  

Also there'll be a track where it asks to open the video window: I've inserted a short screen r...

botanical impacts (samples!)

hi!

upon request I've made some impacty-oneshot sounds kind of similar to the ones in my resonance botanica splice pack!

one thing that I've done differently though, is that I've left out the percussive elements because that would kinda limit its usage possibilities - so use these sounds as a starting point to build upon (or just use them as they are!)  

the key of the samples are in the file names so use that as a point of reference when implementing the sounds into yo...

bms - bend, modulate, sustain (m4l utility device)

hi!

just a quick one, some of you may have noticed from my videos that I like to use the midi wheels device by killihu and easy sustain device by sat1269 to automate the pitchbend, mod wheel and sustain in the automation lanes, but it has always been slightly tedious to open both devices every time. So, I bunche...

Feathering - project file!

hi!


here's the project file for my new single Feathering w Weatherson! Simple house tunes have been my recent vibe and this single is sort of an introductory song to where I plan to go for now 


as usual, please don't post the project file elsewhere or upload the full bounced audio without my permission. The project files are solely for educational purposes.

Works with Live 11.3.10+


enjoy!

modular inspired percussion/glitch fills

hi!


just before we end this month, here's a small batch of glitchy-percussion fill samples that might be nice to add in your production!


I've recently been listening to a lot of UK house/garage producers like Ross from Friends, Seb Wildblood, Four Tet, sonnee and have been inspired by their glitchy percussion sounds with a warm touch. 

Most of them I assume use hardware modular gear but here I've done some sound making inside of Ableton using the s...

sequence on trigger - the 16 step version + presets

hi!


here's the extended 16 step version + some presets I made for the sequence on trigger device!

some presets contain an earlier version of SoT (sorry) but I hope you could think of those as a starting point or a fire-starter for some sound ideas. 

Let me know if you have any problems upon opening the devices, and have fun experimenting!

sequence on trigger - an 8-step midi-triggered sequencer

23/8/20 update: an issue where a midi/velocity parameter change made inside one instance affected all instances of SoT within the same project, has been now fixed.

what differentiates mine from Takuma's is the difference in method of sequence triggering (Takuma's device is internall...

two remixes that didn't make it (audio)

hi!


here are two remixes I did for an artist that supposedly did not enjoy what I made (sad) but I kinda enjoy

they're both not the usual botanical stuff I do but rather a indie kinda sound I've been trying to learn and do recently


these aren't being released so feel free to sample any of the sounds (I've left out the vocals which I don't hold the rights to so that shouldn't be a problem)!

nature field recordings vol.1

hi!


here are some field recordings I've done over the past few months! 

They're not something very special or anything but it's always nice to have some organic elements like this sitting in the background of your song (at least that's how I've been using them) 

also substituting something like the waterfall sound or ocean waves for a basic white noise layer has been enjoyable as it has a somewhat fluttery/volume fluctuations by nature, which I'd otherwi...

writing a summer instrumental track

hi,

it's summer and I've once again been inspired to write an instrumental track so here's an hour of me doing exactly that!

although the video itself is pretty much uncut, I've included chapters this time so it's easier to navigate + you don't have to go through the whole video if you're busy

Also I don't think I've ever shown the whole violin jamming/recording process in realtime so that might be a bit interesting to watch... maybe (starts at 41:13)

I'll post the ful...

spending some time with mood mkii - samples! + a sound design diary (?)

hi,


as I try to recover from my demotivated state, I've been playing with the MOOD mkii guitar pedal with acoustic material like my voice and guitar, to take advantage of the new stereo feature. 


most of the acoustic recording was done with the critter & guitari microphone which I personally feel pairs well with the lo-fi feeling of the Mood mkii, accompanied by some...

very demo-y demos

hi 


I just have too many tiny demos on my disk that I'll probably never finish so once again, here's a batch of songs that will probably never be seen on my artist pages but sound fairly nice (I wish I had the energy and creativity to finish these)

deadpool remix - project file

hi!

here's the project file (without the vocals or original stems for obvious reasons) of my upcoming (=still not out yet lol) remix for Peterparker69's song 'deadpool'!

I tried to go for a minimal remix this time (~50-ish tracks total) so it should be a pretty lightweight project, but because it's so stripped-down in a way, I believe there's some interesting aspects i...

moody drums (Operator Presets!)

hi!


I've been kinda secretly working on a sample pack for the past few months and through the sound making process, I've learned more about synthesizing drum sounds using Operator (FM synthesis). 


I thought I'd share the racks I used to make my samples + a drum rack that has all the presets inside. 

I've also macro-mapped some of the parameters for each drum sound, which allows for some random tonal variety. 

By e.g. Key-mapping the...

random on trigger t2!

hi!


I've made some changes to the random on trigger device, enabling random number output for each mapping each slot, and also making an audio effect version of the device! 

For the audio effect version, the device is triggered when you manually press the button at the bottom of the device. 

Alternatively, you can assign the MAP ME dial to a group macro and use the 'Rand' button located above the macros to trigger the device(s). This is particularly help...

hardware drums loops! (model:cycles)

hi!


a while ago I got a secondhand elektron model:cycles from a friend and it's been one of my favorite gear to make drum loops with, so I thought I'd make a small loop sample pack with it 


the sound design process starts with a model:cycles, which is then passed through some other hardware gear for some sounds (analog filters, modular delays) then compressed/saturated in the DAW with plugins such as tape saturation, compression (2023-03-31 14:30:51 +0000 UTC View Post
