They have zero top end and no bass extention either. However the mid range is brutally flat... And if a mix sounds even on these, it'll sound pretty good on most other speakers.
The avantones are basically good grot boxes. I use a NAD C3020i to drive them... Jonas in the band literally found it in the garbage, amazing what people throw out!
Thanks... Paul Stretch... a great little piece of freeware... for PC ... essential to have both Mac and PC.
With regards to the mp3, I like how the organ sound becomes the background 'strings'. But the vocal inflections become way too exaggerated. Short vibrato, become long out of tune sections.... which ruins things for me.
But it's fun to timestretch things to an extreme... like reversing a sample. You never know quite how it will turn out.
Calm down everyone. Don't panic. Jonas got the work disk up and running at home again. Crisis averted.... and I, erm... *cough*... found the back disk amongst my mess of a home studio (it's being worked on)
Ode To Småland

More of Ramuses beats and production ón the coming album
As well as some massively awesome banjo soloing!
Ode To Småland
August 13th, 2010 at 9:24 amReally nice... good progression from a natural sound to a more glitchy digitised tone. And the photo collage creates the mood.
You gonna share the Ableton Live set?
Some tones with lots of reverb and distortion, and a spinkling of beats
August 9th, 2010 at 10:32 amIt's a nive synth.... but not the only ingredient in the track. All the beats are from Ableton.
A tribute to the Doors - In my house

Thanks....
The cream speakers are Avantones http://www.avantelectronics.com/AVANTONE_mixcubes.htm

Lofi yet large reverb space

March 18th, 2010 at 11:57 amHej Jakub,
The kyma capybara was for sale. But I've changed my mind.... and decided to keep it.
(unless you have a Moog Voyager you wanna swap - and live in Denmark/Sweden?)
thanks for your interest,

Dictaphone Simulation
March 13th, 2010 at 12:04 amIt is really great!.... I'd really love this as a plugin. Would be very useful
Dictaphone Simulation
March 5th, 2010 at 12:02 amPretty interesting and useful post since I have all the required bits
Not sure I'd call it a plugin though.... more of a prototype.
But a dictaphone simulation would be a great plugin to have... maybe it could even simulate the pitch effects of shaking the dictaphone?
