One of the things I intend to do for the #offlinealbum is to #sing all the songs myself this time.
Since my thyroid operation, my voice isn't what it used to be, but with the help of a speech therapist friend (who, incidentally, is one of the very few friends of mine who is also interested in my #music), I've made great progress in recent years – up to a point where I can enjoy hearing myself again.
I'm curious to see how it will work on an entire album.
I killed another plugin. Delta by Nest is a sidechain distortion effect that you can re-build in #Bitwig.
@eloveart and I made a song celebrating Pi Day 2025

Pi, pie, gimme some pie...
How I made the track 'Small Things Popping’.
This is one where I had something finished in 2022 but just never fully dug it, so I share what it sounded like and wrote a bit about how I reworked it.
Includes me playing ukulele, somewhat improbably?

I've finally got a (refurbished) QHD (27") monitor for my PC. Wow. Cubase is suddenly so much better. I already don't know how I put up with the old monitor. #musicproduction
producer left his cell phone on top of the $35,000 tube compressor and we got some hellacious noise in the record path when he got a text message
(At least it wasn't one of us)
The plug-in in question: RM-2 by 5dB5. This thing sounds surprisingly gorgeous for the price. Whatever anti-aliasing it has got, it does it well. The controls are suitable for subtle tone-shaping, sweetening, anything you'd use a preamp for.
This is an example of my music. The track is called "Nervous States".
Breaking out the '80s shred guitar for a session today. If I'm not back by 6PM, try me on my pager.
OK Mastodon, here’s one of the looping performances I recorded last month. @Denny #gearsquad #guitar #MusicProduction
I (technically) make #music (generally me and a guitar). I am not amazing at recording, etc. but I do what I can. I can never seem to get any #drums (I don't play drums) and only sometimes some #bass.
If you do #electronicmusic or #beats or anything like that, and want to do some #collaboration, message me. Beats or drums or... *something* added to my recordings would be quite cool.

Cyan is quiet and mostly calm. Indigo is loud and mostly mad.
Please listen and boost if you liked it! Feel free to PAY £0 to download to your device!
Thanks in advance 
(I am trying my best to be somewhat ok at self promotion 
but you can mute #jwt if you don’t want to see this sort of thing going forward 
)
heyyy, it's bandcamp friday!
i just re-released the final batch of old music on my new bandcamp page, so it is now up to date with everything i've done so far 
"girls rock" is the sounds of a lonely android girl, as she floats around the moons and planets of an uninhabited star system, creating psychedelic bops and astral jams with the friends that live in her head 
also, to celebrate re-releasing everything i've put my entire catalog on sale for almost nothing if you like this sort of thing
thanks for listening! 
The #linuxdaw library continues to grow, reflecting the development of #linuxaudio as a platform. Not only is the range of native #linux #plugin (s) growing, but also the maturity of #pipewire and #linuxdesktop itself. Truly amazing times for #musicproduction with this popular #opensource #operatingsystem.

PD: @alf Nice addition with the #clap, #lv2, #vst, etc. icons! 
Die Würfel sind gefallen
Nachdem ich frevelhafter Weise nun schon im Fediverse seit ein paar Tagen die Katze aus dem Sack gelassen habe… Post by @stephan View on Mastodon …wird es höchste Zeit, auch hier endlich ein paar Worte zu meinem nächsten Album zu verlieren, und wie es zu dieser Entscheidung kommt. Wie die meisten von euch ja wissen, habe ich im Moment zwei Alben am Entstehen: ein Konzeptalbum mit dem Arbeitstitel "Sanctuary", in dem es um den Gnadenhof geht, an dem ich nun seit 5 […]https://schallundstille.de/2025/03/07/die-wurfel-sind-gefallen/
Though I chopped it into 6 tracks, it was written and recorded as one long song that just kept getting bigger and bigger. I originally envisioned it as a 10 minute song- but I kept feeling that the story had other places to go before it reached a conclusion. Thus it ended up being over 30 minutes long! This caused some weirdness in #reaper that hampered production somewhat. Nevertheless, doing it that way made it particularly easy to flow from one mood and tone to the next.

I enjoyed the production of this album a lot. Partially 'cause it follows a narrative and I like coming up with a story even more than I like consuming them, but also because I really enjoy playing the #bass #guitar , and so for this album I gave myself the task of letting the bass drive the melody most of the time. In the process I had a blast coming up with many chunky bass riffs, reminiscent (to my mind) of my favourites like early Pink Floyd or Hawkwind.

Found out last night as well as recording 6-12 tracks, you can also load samples into tracks and have them play (and presumably loop) alongside live tracks, so the mixer itself ought to function as a sort of vibe machine for soundscapes. I'm intrigued 
hopefully we'll see at the weekend
