Noise Therapy: Session 043

Playing with noise and feedback, and trying out the Surge XT filter and waveshaper in VCV Rack. Video from MilkDrop 2. https://vcvrack.com/ http://www.geisswerks.com/milkdrop/ The VCV patch is available from the FSA website. Thanks for listening/watching! https://www.fstateaudio.com/

The VCV patch is available here.

Back to VCV Rack for the audio here, video is a combo of my favorites: MilkDrop 2 being processed through Acid Cam. The VCV Rack patch is available from the FSA website, linked below.

As always (though I haven’t mentioned it recently), everything was assembled in Kdenlive. The VCV patch is available from the sounds page here.

Noise Therapy: Session 023

Another VCV Rack session, as usual, the patch is available here. This one was done with V2, so should definitely load fine for those who have updated the program. Video was captured from MilkDrop 2.

Noise Therapy: Session 017

No Description

If you want more noise, I also posted a new track to the Skin Contact Bandcamp page, a follow-up to last year’s “humbug.” It is available as a “pay what you want” download.

This one is just Plugin Boutique’s Radio plugin being fed into “Autophage” random audio buffer recorder/players and various effects. Unfiltered Audio’s Sandman Pro and Glitchmachines‘ Fracture XY and Convex are the most important to the sound here. As usual, feedback is playing a heavy role too.

I used foobar2000 and Shpeck for the visuals here again, this time running the Winamp AVS plugin. While it can do cool visualizations, MilkDrop definitely runs better. That makes sense, as MD has been updated somewhat recently, just figured I’d mention it.

Full-size screenshot here.

I’ve started up the old “Noise Session” thing again, under a new name, and on YouTube this time. I know, it sucks, but it works. 🙂 I probably won’t be able to do these weekly like before, but I will try to keep them semi-regular.

I’ll be trying some different things, for example the video is just the visuals this time, with a screenshot posted here of the setup used. I might change that up. As usual, though I lack the bandwidth to do an actual live stream, this was recorded “live,” in one take.

As for details on what was used: Plogue’s Bidule was the DAW/host, and Glitch Machines‘ Palindrome and my recent Reaktor creation Loid’s Cousin were the sound sources there. These were joined by the hardware Loid and a feedback loop run out through a set of outputs on my audio interface to a channel on my mixer and back in through a pair of inputs. The mixer has another feedback loop set up with the old “delay send returned to a mixer channel” trick, and the PC feedback is being processed with that and other hardware fx. A bunch of fx plugins and Bidule processing are also in use, see the screenshot for details.
