UV#29 Sound design with Wolf Shaper

In this third (and final) video about Wolf Shaper I focus on sound design.

Since this video is over 40 minutes long I've made detailed timestamps to make it easier to navigate it.

Usually I'd make a coherent piece of music, but I wanted to focus on sound design and not waste time on co...

Bodacious Making-Of (abridged version)

This is a sign of my appreciation to all the patrons, who support creators like me and allow them to flourish!

Here's a little song I recorded with Ardour 5.12. The video was done with Kdenlive 18.

The Ardour session is avaiable for download, if you want to take a look :)

UV#29 (pre-release)

The third video about Wolf Shaper is nearly done.
Here's a pre-release version for all you patrons :)

I see there are a few problems that need fixing before the final release.

If you spot any - please let me know!

I've got a MOD Duo!

Here's a little video where I take it out of the package, hopefully to your amusement and education.

Don't miss the piggy rocking out!

Let's see what this thing can do :)

Enjoy!

I also uploaded a short "teaser" Lens video on Monday. Here's a copy in c...

My presentation from Sonoj Convention 2018

Here you can see the recording of my presentation.
I hope it can be a useful introduction to Automation workflow within Ardour 5.12.

I might eventually release my own version of this talk, as I have some additional footage recorded, but that's not a priority.

I want to thank Nils Hi...

It's been 14 months - thank you!

I've just realized that this Patreon page exists for 14 months - and I think we've come a long way since then.

I'm very happy to see that the community is so supportive - you're helping me help the community grow!

Do you like polls?

I'm considering putting up polls to let you guys easily tell me what would you like me to do next.

So please let me know how much are you willing to engage in voting for video topics in the future.

I'm setting up a two-week deadline so we have a definite point in time when the results ...

Here's the livestream's archive fro those of you who didn't make it, or made it, but wanted to watch it again :)

Thank you all for coming, I love hanging out with you, answering questions, making sounds, listening to your music and seeing  Pokémon drawings uploaded inst...

Reworked the Tiers

I've just revamped the Tiers. They are purely for fun right now, as all patrons get the same rewards right now.

Patreon doesn't update that automatically (probably becasue that'd result in creators needing to re-send all rewards), so if you want to make it update your Tier based on your pledg...

Monthly livestream is about to start soon :)

Not UV#28

Well, I wasn't ready for that...

UV#27 Wolf-Shaper: introduction

One thing I've been silently wishing to see emerging from the open-source audio community was an LV2 waveshaper plug-in that I could use to define custom distortion curves. There were bits and pieces of something like that around, but always locked inside of a package, that couldn't be used universa...

UV#26 Installing Ardour and Zyn-Fusion for free!

I see a lot of confusion about this. Ardour and Zyn-Fusion are both fully open-source, but  the official binaries are not free of charge. Ardour gives you full access for as little as $1/mo of PayPal subscription, while Zyn-Fusion binaries cost a minimum amount of $45 (+ VAT).

For the ti...

July 2018 update

It's been a month since I uploaded my last video. A busy month. Unfortunately - I didn't manage to do much regarding videos, but I've moved to a new flat (with a new, separate home studio room!) and I am getting married in less than 4 weeks now - so you can probably imagine.

However I managed...

UV#25 Synthesizing a dirty bass with allpass filter and distortion

I've been playing around with this trick in a few of my tracks, and I've decided to share it with you.
