![]() This has led me to devote much more time to experiment through these tools, which are usually not considered as musical instruments, than exercise my guitar skills and techniques, which have always been very poor and so will stay.Īfter more than 30 years in doing this I feel like that’s what it should have been. The older I get the more I realise how central deep processing stays through my musical journey.įrom the old times of footpedals to the actual combination of software and hardware processing, I’ve always been interested in using guitar as the source of an energy fluxus to excite and move the physical and virtual molecules located in resistors, processors and algorithms. Using the audio card as a multichannel mixer,router,splitter. Software plus hardware routing processing. 5 months in the underground, a deep site-specific This entry was posted in Audio processing, Live, studio work and tagged analog and virtual audio processing, audio processing, Audiomulch, guitar real time processing, laptop looping, laptop sound processing, live audio processing, sound processing, using audio card as a multichannel mixer-router-splitter on 30 October 2016 by unguitar. Please Ross, let the world enjoy Audiomulch at 64 bit and with multicore support! ![]() I honestly just hope Audiomulch will show a new breeze of life, just before I do the final move. On the other hand you can easily find many interesting ideas but, unfortunately, not all of them in the same package. It is complicate, there are so many weirdness out there, strange visions and sometimes incomprehensible solutions. Max/MSP, Usine, Audiostrom Sound Professor, Plogue Bidule, Cantabile, Ableton Live, Bitwig, Gig Performer and some others I just can’t remember.Īll this to find the application to replace Audiomulch. Since March 2016 I’m testing software to find the new host to process my audio. This is sad as I would prefer so much to keep using Audiomulch, I still think its concept delivers the best mix between interface/routing/processing/midi mapping out there, at least for the way I use it. In 2016, after more than 10 years of use of Audiomulch I feel that there’s no more reason to live within the restrictions of 32 bits and be limited by single core processing I feel like I have to move to a more up to date application. With these aspects in mind I decided to go for Audiomulch which, since then, has been the environment in which I’ve developed my audio processing system and, basically, the core of my playing: my actual musical instrument.Īudiomulch was a fantastically thought application: essential and deep at the same time, clean and efficient, with a very smart way of connecting modules and plugins it has been key to allow my approach to audio processing progress and grow up to where it is now.ĭuring all this time I’ve met many idiosyncrasies, bugs and incomprehensible solutions that made me waste a big lot of time and challenged my patience. I checked these fascinating applications keeping my focus on audio routing flexibility, midi control, computing resources, system stability and ease of use. I installed and checked Bidule, Usine, Max-MSP, Live and Audiomulch.Ĭhecking these amazing software meant to enter into their respective universes, meeting completely different approaches to audio routing, user interface, general settings concepts, languages and internal organization.īeing a non digital native with zero academic training in electronics and computer programming I’ve had the feeling of being exposed to a sort of philosophical challenge.
