Hello everybody!

https://youtu.be/

Lifetime licenses and free access to all of my future video productions can be gained until Friday 31 March 2017 therefore.
(Please visit my website http://www.rofilm-media.net/rofilm_cz_17_003.htm for details or go to the forum “the deep-sound divers´ coffee house” http://www.rofilm-media.net/frt7/viewto ... ?f=10&t=50 to learn more about the matter.)

I´d like to thank you, who have donated during the last 4 years. As a “material” way of saying “thank you” you are owners of these lifetime licenses now. You always will have free access to all of my video productions. Please contact me for details (rofilm@seznam.cz) , if you do not want to wait for my email to inform you personally.

After March 31 (2017) there won´t be any lifetime licenses on offer any more. You´ll have to donate to get access to a tutorial or to another video production of mine individually for each video and each time.

But it still will be your decision how much you donate. There won´t be a minimum amount so far. And whether or not there will ever be one depends only on you, same as it depended only on my viewers to “make it all donation ware”.

Producing a tutorial of the given quality takes me between 30 and 40 hours of work:

selecting the matter, writing the script, testing, rewriting, producing the individual clips and footage, recording the voice-over, producing animations and graphs, cut, discussing the video with my family and with friends, critics, changes, publishing.

And as long as the mere number of viewers doesn´t convince the people at the baker´s to give me some bread for free, nor any shop assistant to give my grandchildren some new shoes as a present, my choice is:

Either stop producing my tutorials at all and give more private lessons,
or
try to make it completely donation ware.

I´ve decided to try the later.

Just to avoid some misconception:
All members of the FM/PM workshop will have free access even to future parts of this workshop of course (but there won´t be new members accepted as my free service capacity has reached its limits).

And videos in the course of our project “The Sound of the Waters of the World” will always be free – for ever and for anybody.

Have a great day and a good time!

Ich arbeite momentan an Tutorial 17. Es geht um die neue SWEEP Funktionalitaet. Jeden Tag entdecke ich neue Aspekte und Konsequenzen daraus fuer´s Komponieren. Laut Plan wird das Tutorial so gegen Ende April fertig sein. Uebrigens: nur noch zwei Tage, dann gibt´s keine Lifetime Lizenzen mehr! Have a great day and a good time!
Rolf
 
I´m working on Tutorial 17 about CrusherX (the new version, of course). It´s all about the new SWEEP functionalitry and it´s going to be huge! If you can´t imagine a video talking about SWEEP for far more than an hour (!), well, let me surprise you! And if I told you, that even more than an hour doesn´t suffice to go deep into every exciting aspect of sound design using SWEEP, would you believe me? Well – you should!
I hope to have it all done by the end of April (perhaps a bit earlier).
I´ll publish a trailer in “VSTs in depth” then.

Stay tuned!
Have a great day and a good time!

Granular Processing of Sound
Well, well, well, some of you have already realized it:
With tutorial 17 I´ve started to talk about a vital question of all kinds of granular processing:
“What sound material can I sensefully apply granular processing to?”
and related to that another one:
“How does the raw material determine the way and the kind of my granular processing?”


These questions will be further dealt with in tutorial 18.
(Right now I´m doing some patch analysis with u-he´s BAZILLE, being available in the second half of May.)

Tutorial 19 about granular synthesis with CrusherX is available now.


Ansehen: https://youtu.be/y2y8_kNrs5c


It deals with the question: how to extract new exciting future sounds for our sample players from all kinds of sound sources (including field recordings) using granular processes. After a bit more than 98 hours of work this video has got the longest one I´ve ever made: 3 hours and 12 minutes (I´ve split the video in two parts to make downloading easier). And it´s packed with approaches, rules, facts, tricks and hints and a lot of practical examples including a complete case study.
Here´s the

Timeline:

Study in White Noise
or
Alice´s Fall Down the Rabbit Hole

This is another application of one of the methods I explain in detail in my more than 3-hour tutorial about granular extractions.
What you hear is white noise. Nothing else than white noise. I stretched the recording of the white noise by 10% without changing any pitch or frequency using granular techniques. Then I recorded the stretched noise again and used this second recording as a new source for further stretchings. All in all I increased the time resolution of the original recording in 80 consecutive steps – while never changing any pitch or frequency.
What I´ve got is less than 1 millisecond of white noise stretched to audibility – 1 millisecond of sound frozen in time.
I call this method my “sonic microscope”.
I´ve smoothed (crossfaded) the above mentioned 80 steps of going deeper and deeper into the seconds and milliseconds of the recording to make it more comfortable to listen to (causing a loss of recognisability of each individual step though).

The next CrusherX video is online (I know, it´s been quite a time ...).
CrusherX - What´s new in Version 8? An overview of the new version of CrusherX, the granular (monster-) sound processor. 20 minutes, that will change your way of looking at sonic grains.
