Composition software for dynamic effects
Hey all,
Trying to get back into composing (as a hobbyist) after being out of it for years. In the old days, I used to do a lot of work with Sonic Foundry Acid (now owned by Sony). It was nice the way you could chop up samples, stretch them and re-pitch them, etc. The only drawback that I noticed is that you couldn't dynamically change with the parameters of a filter/processor (apart from the wet/dry volumes). So, once you created a filter and played with its settings, you were stuck with those settings for the entire piece. This felt limiting. For instance, if I wanted to filter a clip such that a lowpass filter would sweep its cutoff frequency across the sample, I would have to do hacky things like have several filters at different cutoffs and fade between them. Lame. So, I used to do a part of my work with Propellerheads software (Reason and/or Rebirth). However, I find the workflow of these programs tedious at best. For instance, if you to make a melody, you have to break it up into patterns (of which there are only so many you can have). So, has anyone seen any tools out there where you can have dynamically changing? Am I stuck pulling my hair out at Reason for this, or are there better tools? Thanks. Dave |

However it is quite pricey. Pure Data, which is free, allows for complete control of any and all parameters. It unfortunately can have a steep learning curve, but often one can find others' patches to use that allow for the type of automation you are looking for. It might be worth looking into - especially because there's no financial risk! -Ted |

I would go for Ableton Live.
Try to download a Demo version and check it out .. Really fast and intuitive I love it when I need to check how loops work together, when I need fast results.... the Dsp sound a bit synthetic when pushed. but in General it's pretty straight forward in recording, creating loops and mixing loops... |
