IOS APP Switching Audio Effect (titles, no talking)


***you might notice my videos are kind of all over the place in regards to style, size, length and just about every other aspect. This latest video was a test of 3 iphone screen recordings. I have spent the last year learning my editing and visual software apps on ios, understanding lighting, lenses, frame rates, rules of uploading on different sites (for instance you cannot upload a song on distrokid that has the word binaural in it but there is no issue on youtube). I started making checklists of where it is appropriate to post a video and the feedback I received doing so. What I'm saying is thank you for Subscribing, liking and watching these videos and moving forward I plan on cutting out more of the "why" factors of my videos or at the very least explaining things better. I tend to have an element in my music that is constant but has slight changes in panning, volume and eq. Meaning a synth might only change a little, the drum beat might change but not in a typical song format or just straight up drones that are semi-self generating. I really enjoy actual songs but I have always enjoyed the one off style of music that has those happy accidents or more experimental in nature. That all being said.... In this video I wanted to perform what I call "the app switching trick" which is just pulling an app in AUM to the left to temporarily turn it on or off. This gives me some freedom of adding audio, fx, change rhythms or patterns on the fly and feels like I am djaying my sound further. I will add the times below of when this occurs so you don't have to sit through the whole glitched out song.

"Blackhole" industrial techno jam on ipad (no talking)


blackhole


1 of the 4 photos in the thumbnail is a real blackhole but which one?


Using drum computer as a the midi trigger and korg wave as the sound source to create this industrial sound. I named the jam blackhole because of the visuals.


I spent some time learning the drum computer app but also liked the randomness and presets more than I normally do with apps.


I have had korg electribe wave since launch and never really used it. I think the name made me think it was only to be used as a rhythm synth. Funny thing is I used it for the snare in this video and all the the triggering was done using midi from drum computer. So even though I started using it more as a synth I still had it in my head to use for rhythm. Pleasantly surprised by the sound I got in this performance with all the synths and mixbox continues to impress me.


Apps Used:

Drumcomputer by Sugar Bytes

Korg Electribe Wave

Moog Model 15

Mixbox by Ikmultimedia

Eventide Ultratapdelay

Scatterbrain by Brambos

Replicant2 by audio damage

FEVR will still be a thing but all albums, singles and eps released will be taken down soon.

 I am closing the distrokid account and may reinstate albums either on soundcloud or youtube but I am not sure about re-releasing them on st...
