Tape Notes is literally the greatest Music Podcast on Earth. Ever.
Simon is the GOAT electronic music producer and I'll die on that hill. I remember studying listening to Animal Magic and Dial M For Monkey and his albums have just kept getting better and better. His creativity, sample selection, production, and mixing is unmatched. There was a tutorial he did for "Kiara" which was the only glimpse I've ever gotten of his genius so this is an absolute joy to watch.
When he’s talking about this low pass modular thing it reminds of how possibly you can do this with the moog pedal vst where you can step sequence the filter positions to possibly create an interesting pattern on whatever you put through it.
Conversely I understood everything
The LPG sequence thing was used a while back by Barker - check out Debiasing and after. Also going further back by just hitting noise gates with impulses.
That tape emulator at the end looks good
How do you make Ableton show the plugin and all its parameters in the bottom like Valhalla Room is displaying on his session at 7:40?
Its a Max4Live Wrapper :) I beliefe you can buy them
Bonobo!!!
Boy Genius
He didn't give too much away there 😂
5:20 - a 4th.... sorry, it bugged me
Haha, same
Also I’m pretty sure a 9th is 13 semi tones from the root note. He probably means a 7th
you mean LFO?
I understood nothing 🥲
Roughly speaking it was all about how basic sounds can transform with a right chain of effects.
Imagine you're in a church and you clap your hands. Once the initial clap sound has stopped, all you're hearing is the echoes of the clap bouncing around the church. Si is essentially adding effects to the echo portion of the sound, and making the echo go down in volume when the original sound plays again. Part of it is making the echo play a few notes higher than how it originally sounds for a cool effect
Still cute
I can't understand why the app that is promoted ALL THE TIME in this channel, it's only for iPhone.
Loosing a big slice of the cake there. Actually, 3.5 billon Android users in the planet, the double than iOS.
but ask any app developer, it might be double the users, but it's less than 1/4 of the revenue.
Seems like you need an iPhone
Wtf is this for 😅😢
