This is great. Great info.


Also funny too cos Poppy Crum (one of the panelists) is an old friend of mine! We played in a quartet together in high school, and she was the one who convinced me to go to McGill for Audio Engineering.

this is a great video. I'm curious though, as to your motivation for posting it here since the subject varies greatly every five minutes. Is there any specific section that seems most important to you, for debate or not? Just a question. Most of it seems relevant to what's been happening for a while, so if you want to throw conspiracy theories around, i can do that. Otherwise if there seems to be aspects of this we can utilize, other than just being loud, I'd like to have a conversation about them.

I posted it because i found the topic interesting and thought it may help or be if interest to other users here. I was particularly interested in the opening segments - that our brain will filter out things we don't listen for - so if you listen out for the highs , then you will miss the lows. Audio smoke and mirrors! So could this be used as an actual effect? Could we give some over importance to a certain noise at a specific time to draw attention away from some element for a brief second only to then push focus back on to it... Either creating a suprise or to emphasis something in the track - I'm thinking about drops here... really force the highs so were paying attention to this and missing the lows only to over emphasis the removal of the HI's into a giant sub bass sweep... i dunno! Would it give a greater perceived effect? Worth investigating.

No, that's all extremely true. I always experiment with things like that to see if they make any difference. I was just curious as to whether you figured the magic out that all the popular artists have that us regular folk are missing out on. TBO there are better producers on this forum than 99% of any musical group/s you'll hear nowadays anywhere else. So I just wonder what's missing?

This is brilliant. Most of the things covered i had my reservations about (like dithering) as its been drilled into me through my university, but a lot of things like the EQ myth sort of apply here (on the nulling stage).

My dads an audiofile and im going to force him to watch this (clockwork orange style) as he has things like inch thick isolated audio cables and special power cables. Want to see his face :)

Started watching this but cut off by work start. Looks good though. I have an audiophile buddy but he approaches it more scientifically so he would probably like this vid. I feel you tho depone I have met a lot of audiophiles that live off of myths. Absolutely amazes me at the amount of money they will spend on stuff that is completely unnecessary. Cables or feeling the need to use balanced cables for a 10 foot headphone cabel and claim it sounds a million times better.

Tutorial: Techniques for analogue emulation with Massive

Post by breakitdown » Sat Aug 14, 2010 2:23 pm

Hey guys,

The latest tutorial for Native Instruments Massive is the first guest post from Rob Janssen (hopefully the first of many!).

In this article Rob talks about techniques to get rid of some of the sterility in Massive's sound for a more analogue emulation!

http://www.massivesynth.com/tutorials/n ... n-massive/

I hope this tutorial is of use!

Nice one!

Loving this article and the blog.

One weird thing, this article doesn't show up in the main feed of your blog in any category - it shows the most recent article as 8/8/10

Tutorial: Dutch house lead synths in Massive

Post by breakitdown » Sun Aug 22, 2010 12:25 pm

Hey

There's a new tutorial up for Massive on massivesynth.com - this time round for creating 'Dutch" house leads. Whilst the genre might not be your thing , the technique itself is an interesting one for learning some of Massive's routing capabilities.
