STUDIO SNAPSHOT : Floating Jupiter-8 Pads

We’re laying down pads for a new track. They need to sound like EVIL CLOUDS…here’s how we do it:

1) Two similar pads sounds. Slow attack and slow decay. Super slow LFO modulating Freq Cut-Off (Resonance applied to taste…the more resonance the more alien it will sound). HiPass filter applied so it takes the “guts” out of the pads.

2) Pan pad [A] 70% left, and pad [B] 70% right. Add reverb and chorus, but pan the reverb+chorus for Pad [A] 100% hard RIGHT, and Pad [B]’s chorus+reverb 100% hard left.

The mirrored wet to dry signals will add to the stereo field
The variation in panning will add to the perceived width of the stereo field
The HiPass filter on the pads will add to the perceived depth

…and yes, call me a liar, I pushed the UNISON button on the Jupiter8

Industrial Guitars

Ghost.7 from our Forum asked this question:

http://krankhaus.net/forum/index.php?topic=10839.0

so..I’ve been playing guitar for a while now, and I’m getting more and more in to industrial music.
So do you have any ideas how to get a nice aggressive industrial guitar-sound?
Like what pedals/modules can I use? What do you use?
I’ve been looking att the moogerfooger freqbox (mf-107), kinda nasty, not to cheap though :/

Thanks for this. To make an aggressive industrial guitar sound you need an aggressive industrial attitude and the tools to realise it. You need the following things to make AWESOME GUITARS happen:

Pissing your life away…

I am increasingly frustrated by people who have great plans but lack the courage to make them happen.

Talent amounts to nothing. if you ain’t got BOLDNESS, you ain’t got anything.
I’ve met so many gifted composers who make the most amazing music…but are content with burning a few CDs for friends and uploading onto their Bandcamp, constantly working and re-working the same tracks, building up an arsenal of gear, dreaming about rock-stardom…and lacking the boldness to take the step and DO IT.

Metasonix TM-2

Model: TM-2

BLURB:
The guy who designed this really thinks “outside the box”. You can create standard (yet distinctive) bandpass filter sounds, or you can seriously and brutally mash the sound. The resonator does something scathing to the audio…it does not distort it, it HURTS it!
This is a double bandpass filter (2 Bandpass Filters working in Parallel approx 1 octave apart), so it sounds different to a Low Pass Filter (most filters are Low Pass). At it’s core is a valve…and you can really hear it’s influence on the sound.

Angelspit Remixes Snog

Angelspit appears on the latest release from fellow Australians SNOG. The digital release “Cheerful Hypocrisy” is a timely and very constructive message of mindfulness and well-being.

Utilising the sciences of happiness and social optimisation, ‘Cheerful Hypocrisy’ moves with an energetic swing and makes an enthusiastic contribution to psychosomatic productivity and trans-humanist rationality. Lyrically and musically refined to maximise behavioural economic growth and social capital, ‘Cheerful Hypocrisy’ lauds calculated hedonism and rewards market-responsible libertarianism through vaudevillian verve and electro-pop precision.

Cheerful Hypocrisy and The Clockwork Man are from the album ‘Compliance™’
Available October 16th 2015 on Metropolis Records (Met994)

MoogerFooger (MF-101)

Brand: Moog Music
Mode: MoogerFooger (MF-101)

BLURB:
This is apparently an exact replica of the 24dB Low Pass Transitor Ladder Filter used in the famous Moog55 modular. This filter is AWESOME! I think we’ve used it on every track…although there were a few tracks in Blood Death Ivory that used the Doepfer A-102 or Analogue Systems RS-500e diode filter…these two filters sound as distinctive and BEEFY as the Moog.
