Waveshaping PluginsTony WallaceApril 27, 2010

Free Audio Unit plugins! Yay!

Thomas Strathmann has released a waveshaper with several transfer functions. My brief listening tests revealed that this plugin is capable of a pretty wide range of distortion effects. I haven’t made any demo recordings, so you’ll just have to download it and see for yourself.

For something a little more subtle, check out Steven Massey‘s TapeHead Medium. I have used this on a few tracks and love it. I wish the full version was available in Audio Unit format, but alas, it’s reserved for ProTools users (TDM, RTAS, AudioSuite).

Building a MIDI Step Sequencer in Logic ProTony WallaceDecember 28, 2009

Logic Pro’s Environment is a source of confusion, frustration and even fear for many users. However, for the most part, it isn’t really that complicated. The Environment provides a powerful, modular system for realtime processing of MIDI messages. All the work is done by a small group of specialized objects that you connect with virtual cables, similar to a modular synthesizer. Most tasks require nothing more than a (very) basic understanding of MIDI.

If you’re new to the Environment and/or MIDI, you might find this project a bit ambitious. Don’t let that discourage you. Each step will be explained in detail, and along the way you’ll learn several tricks that you can use to make your own Environment projects more powerful and easier to use.
