Sounds to me kinda like a heavily distorted bitcrusher. That's what I'd do if I was trying to recreate it. It sounds like what I remember the stock Logic bitcrusher sounding like. But I wonder if it's not just a shitty mic overdriving a shitty preamp.
And in post, they've panned it moving from one side to another in the stereo field.
This guy is a gem. And this converter has been helpful for me getting out of the Kontakt ecosystem.
Tilr is a name we’ve heard multiple times this year, and it seems that one of 2025’s busiest plugin developers isn’t slowing down as they have just released REEV-R, a free convolution reverb plugin for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Since February, Tilr has given us Time1 and Gate1, Time-12 and Gate-12,...
Tilr has been putting out a bunch of cool sequencer-type VST effects that are updates of his JSFX for Reaper.
Oh damn, this sounds rad.

The Wave Warden released Odin 2 in early 2020, and it quickly became a favorite of many soft-synth enthusiasts. Now, in version 2.4.0, Odin 2 looks better than ever. I know that appearance will never take priority over sound, but Odin 2 still sounds incredible, so a refreshed interface is all good n...
Great watch! Jeff Ellis has this thing he calls "mixer brain," when mixers are too concerned with sound and not at all with feel. This can result in a mixer brain death spiral, as he calls it, wherein a mixer inserts plugin after plugin in a chain, losing a grip on the song itself.
Sounds especially guitar-like on those chromatic runs. :) Well done!
Same. Glad to learn these principles and apply them to digital audio nonetheless. :)
I found this video inspiring. Although I don't necessarily agree with every point, the overall premise of embracing imperfection and using unique gear is worth shouting from the rooftops.
Or, I’m an Artist: How Loud Should my Recording Be?
Some good news for all, especially Reaper users. Inflator, Phoenix, L2 clones and more in this sweet suite.
Yeah the sibilance is right. I believe it has to do with the large coil which sound has to move when using a dynamic.
I found this a cool commentary on whether or not sound design matters in electronic music.
Yeah that would work well if I were precise enough to know when to automate the click in and out. If I'm playing free-tempo, I won't really know when that click should begin.
I'd love to discover a way to record a continuous performance (no cuts/overdubs) that starts without click and then continues to a click in the middle of the piece.
An external metronome could be triggered by foot pedal, for instance. But could it be done all within the DAW? Has someone devised a Reaper script for such a thing?
Especially for recording vocalists, I've found it much easier to mix dynamic mics. Dynamic mics don't often get the praise they're due.
Condenser mics are more expensive to build, so they are regarded as more expensive-sounding, which hasn't been 1:1 in my experience. I find that a 57 sounds better than most budget condenser mics. I think they're a much better bang for the buck.
What do you think?
In which Dan examines the oft repeated advice to "only dither once" and attempts to show why this should be "only dither to 16 bits once".
The better way to thwart republicans: take away their memes.
Suno CEO doesn't even know what tuning an 808 means.
This is a neat demonstration of how low-pass filters affect D/A converters. Might mess around and try to replicate this test.
Does a sitar bridge effectively clip the waveform of the string? It certainly adds new harmonics.
I had a friend say it's more like the string being plucked or re-excited, inharmonically in this case.
Might this be like feedback?
I hear people are doing such dishonest things as flooding the ICE Tip Form with false leads.
The fools. Hope they've got a VPN, or whatever it is they need to stay anonymous and untraceable.
A purely theoretical example of how easy it is to automatically spam up government snitch lines.
Based on my experience, there shouldn't be any difference between distributing a long song vs. a short one. You may not have come across them in the wild because algorithms, like radio, tend to favor 3-4 min songs.
Pretty neat IMO (though I'm not a Bitwig user). They really seem to be upping the ante as an Ableton alternative.
Stuff like this makes me think this may one day become classic, historical gear.
Still amazes me to this day that they were able to render such a faraway horse in 128-bit...
I think there was a ROM hack that solved this floating-point error. If I can find it, will post link.
I appreciate it. I always thought Deezer was just a streaming platform like Spotify.
Also, dang, surprised so many downvotes for my original comment lol.
I work part time as an audio producer. Converting MP3 to FLAC is like trying to upscale an image: you can use all the fancy algos to repair loss, but it's still lossy.
This doesn't sound like what I'm asking for. I'm not interested in paying Deezer for music I already own.
I've been building up my digital music library again after giving music streaming the boot. I was going to attempt to digitize my CD and vinyl collection, but I frankly don't have the time for all that. So I thought I might turn to file-sharing and download digital versions of my physical collection. I prefer FLAC or WAV if the former isn't available. Can you recommend good places to get started?
Mikey Shulman, CEO of AI music generation startup Suno, actually thinks people don’t enjoy making music anymore. “It’s not really enjoyable to make music now,” according to him.
