Is there anyone who uses Audiomulch?
i want to come one step forward and change FLStudio to something better, Audiomulch is cheap and seems to have big possibilities, is it functional?

Don't you mean, audiomulch?

In that case, stay to fruityloops, audiomulch is a cool prog, but the only thing I'm able to get out of it are some strange ambient like soundscapes.

It isn't really usefull for composing music

yes

need to chnage for something more pro..

LOGIC.............

it is the way

unless you own a pc in which case cubase is the way

beautiful programme, cant stress how much i love it, takes a while to get used to tho

nah that's not true... i have a friend that does his tunes 100% in audio mulch and i've even heard him crack out a few dubstep loops here and there.

also anyone who knows Four Tet will agree when i say he's amazing and he uses audiomulch loads so it can't be bad...

give it a go see if you like it... what works for you works for you regardless of what other people say!

peace

Audiomulch is a great program. Use it as another tool in your arsenal of sound. You don't have to give up one program and move onto another, it can all be useful somehow. I would definitely recommend it.

hey, don't worry.
i use floops AND audiomulch, at the SAME TIME!
cos floops works as a vst instrument, and mulch is a vst host.

and, get this, y'know how mulch is wickedly modular and u can route everything all over the place...
well u can run floops as a vsti with 16 OUTPUTS!!!
each of the "fx" channels can go to different places in mulch.
it's ace.

no problemo!

Energy XT!

Best kept secret in music software.

Modular like Mulch, with superb sequencing capabilities, powerful built in sampler, track freeze, plugin delay compensation, live mode and loads more.

It's around €39 at the moment which is a bargain, and if you buy now you get a free update to the imminent XT2 version which looks to be amazing.

And it runs as a VST effect/instrument if you want so you can run it inside Floops, or Mulch, or run Floops inside XT, or XT inside itself...

It's so good I almost don't want to tell anyone about it

isn't energy the same kind of thing as fruity, tho?
like, mainly a sequencer.
that's generally how it's been sold to me, a way of bringing piano-roll note control into mulch.

i'm interested though; what sort of level is its modularity?
and can the sequencing end be built up from logic functions?

not that i actually understand any of what i just said, ahem.
all about running tings proper.
brapple mc frapple! yeurp, bwoyeee!
reason's best cos the graphics are so realistic, innit.

Ableton Live!!!!

Version 6 will own!!

that is all.

YES EnergyXT!!!

It basically has a modular environment like audiomulch except that one of the components that you can put into the environment is a fully functioning midi and audio sequencer (which is good enough that a lot of people don't use the modular environment at all) . You can then run audio out of the sequencer into yer modular effects chains in the modular environment, or midi out of it (through some modular midi processing if you want, eg arpeggiators, patchers, things that play specific patterns based on which note you give them etc) to control the things (instrument or effect) that are living in the modular environment.

I tend to use it as a trad sequencer and then occasionally bung multiple audio outputs on the sequencer component to run the drums into a modular chain of EQ's, compressors, FX and so on. But other people do other sorts of stuff with it - you could probably do Eno-esque generative stuff with a bunch of sequencers triggering a further bunch of MIDI patterns and so on.

How do you mean?

Yeah, obviously, I actually smoke a load of ganja and fuk about wid shit ya know, make some mad shit, I don't actually spend loads of time geeking out in front of a computer, honest...

Btw, what about Fruity makes you need something more pro?

damn straight!

i kinda like the granular stuff in audiomulch, it's fast and easy to use and sounds allright although it has a distinct sound to it since it's not the 'classic' way of granular synthesis being used (for the geeks, instead of grains it makes use of really short delays). i tend to use it a lot for textures and such. if you like ambient music you should check out some of tim hecker's music, a lot of it is done with audiomulch.

It's wicked. Do you know KTGranulator, which is basically a clone of it, and is available for free - http://koen.smartelectronix.com/ ?

(The SmartElectronix site has an absolute shedload of mad free plugins actually, eg the stuff from Bram and Destroy FX.)

a friend of my brought over his laptop with audiomulch the other weekend. we were both battered and just sat there twiddling his midi controller till it sounded freaky. got some absolutely severe material from that jam... basslines and sheets of noise i've never heard the likes of.

girl talk uses it
i still wouldn't reccomend it though. It is really fun to mess around with but it is only useful for effects not sequencing.
I use Acid (groan) and I would love to switch to something else.

as i said, fruity can run as a vsti within audiomulch, thus providing a standard midi/pattern sequencing facility.
phrazor and energy are also ways of importing such tools.

although mulch doesn't standardly have midi-note style sequencing, it does have automation of just about everything.
you can build synths from signal generators and filters/envelopes etc.

the main reason i started using floops with it is to make chords easier to write, but at the expense of accuracy and naturalism.
floops is also better at traditional handling of samples, which is nice.
