How to use Krotos Concept for Sound Design & Cinematic Effects

Feb 13, 2020, by Krotos Audio

Synthesis In Sound Design With Krotos Concept Concept is a brand new soft-synth that offers a simple and intuitive workflow for creating massive basses, moving pads and screaming leads, but today we are going to explore other ways of using this software – we’re going to use it to create sound effects. Throughout this blog post, I am going to demonstrate a couple of examples of sounds that you can create using Concept such as user interface elements, Sci-Fi weapons or cinematic effects. All of the created patches will be available for you to experiment! The ‘BOOJ’ Modulated bass drop, also known as a BOOJ is a staple of cinematic sound design. In essence, it’s a low note continuously falling in pitch with a tremolo effect applied. For this one, we are going to use the Envelope mod. Set your ADSR to long Decay and no Sustain and set a long Attack in the Envelope mod. It should look like this:... More

925 COMPRESSOR RELEASE

Feb 9, 2020, by MIA Laboratories

We proudly announce the release of our preferred Main mix – Buss Compressor: MIA Laboratories 925 Designed using physical modelling principles, based around the classic ‘feed-back’ topology in hardware circuit-design. The 925 side-chain detection stage is based on the analog envelope detector circuit. Key design design features include: Variable knee response allowing more compression to be applied, esp. on high-transient sounds like percussion, samples, vocals etc. Logarithmic gain reduction, since the ear’s sense of sound level is roughly logarithmic. When used in extreme settings on sounds with long sustain, it can produce a distortion effect. This happens when due to the high speed of the detector, it follows the actual waveform instead of the envelope of the program material. After a lot of consideration it was decided not to exclude setting range, as the process is very much program dependent. Instead the user is given full control, since even if some settings... More

Voxengo CRTIV Shumovick creative noise padding plugin released

Jan 25, 2020, by Voxengo

Voxengo is pleased to release CRTIV Shumovick, a creative dynamic noise-floor padding effect plugin for professional music production applications, available in AAX, AudioUnit, VST and VST3 plug-in formats, for macOS and Windows computers. CRTIV Shumovick plug-in for professional music production applications produces a creative dynamic noise-floor padding effect. This effect is most effective on beats and synth sounds used in electronic music production – EDM, hip-hop and the like. The noise-floor effect created by this plug-in is correlated to the spectral content of the sound being processed. As a result, on beats, this creates mellow noise bursts that make bassdrum sounds a lot softer, with a bit of stereo-field enhancement effect. On synths, on the other hand, such noise-floor effect may boost the power and density of the sound. Shumovick can be also effective when used on sterile-sounding basslines where it can add a bit of “pillowy” noise background. In practice, Shumovick can be also... More

Roni Size interview | Krotos Concept UK drum’n’bass pioneer Roni Size (Reprazent, Universal) talks to Krotos about his background, his music and gear. We’re really excited to have Roni onboard for Concept, the new software-synth from Krotos! Roni Size’s whole life has been about building something new from whatever was around him.

Voxengo CRTIV Reverb 2.1 reverberation plugin released

Dec 21, 2019, by Voxengo

Voxengo is happy to release CRTIV Reverb version 2.1, a stereo reverberation effect plug-in for professional music production applications, available in AAX, AudioUnit, VST and VST3 plug-in formats, for macOS and Windows computers. Version 2.1 update includes the following changes: Added "Ambience 3" mode which offers a slightly different spatialization. Added macOS Catalina compatibility. CRTIV Reverb is a stereo reverberation effect plug-in for professional music production applications. This reverb plug-in provides a wide palette of reverb spaces while requiring only a minimal effort to obtain useful results. The tails created by this reverb are very dense and produce a well-defined spatialization. Since the reverb uses a kind of “true stereo” algorithm the panned sounds receive a good stereo field placement. We believe CRTIV Reverb provides one of the lushest reverb tails available on the market. The early reflections placement, pre-delay and levels are chosen automatically based on... More

Spat Revolution – Real Time Immersive Live Engine

Dec 20, 2019, by Flux

Spat Revolution is a software engine running on standard computer hardware, dedicated to offline show content creation workflows and real time live applications. Computer Hardware Running on generic hardware means that a vast pool of audio interfaces (e.g., MADI, network AVB, or Dante / AES67 virtual audio entities), and a wide range of sample rate options (from 44.1Khz – 384Khz), are available for the system device setup. Low latency can be achieved with low block size software options (starting at 16 block size), the appropriate choice of audio interface, and most importantly, a computer sufficiently resourced and optimized for real time audio. The actual Spat setup (number of sources, rooms and such) has no impact on latency, which is predictable, fixed, and can be easily defined in accordance with the user’s hardware setup. Simultaneous output systems (virtual spaces called rooms) with more than 32 channels... More

Close Talker Creates Unique Immersive Concerts with Spat Revolution

Dec 20, 2019, by Flux

Saskatoon, Canada—December 2019… When indie-rock trio Close Talker launched its new LP, How Do We Stay Here?, they didn’t want to introduce it with a typical live show. The band wanted people to truly listen to the music, with no distractions, and they sought a fresh approach that would set them apart. The multi-instrumentalist trio of Matt Kopperud, Will Quiring, and Christopher Morien and front-of-house engineer Kellan Thackeray considered a listening party, with the band playing live and the audience wearing headphones. It was a good start but they wanted to deliver something more—say, an immersive, 3D experience. But how? While they were mulling the possibilities, Thackeray met LS Media’s Hugo Larin and Benoit Favreau, who were offering demos of the AVID S6L live mixing console. The LS Media team also showed FLUX:: Spat Revolution real-time 3D audio mixing software—and Thackeray realized he might... More
