It is probably the first if not only touch surface daw

Hi Richard,

Thank you!

In terms of real world projects, I’d have to say that I usually default to the more traditional methods of track-laying when time constraints are an issue.

Having said that, I actually find that the ‘Hexapads’ method is quite fast at building a dense soundscape of sounds. I also find it works as an initial ‘broad brushstroke’ that you can fine tune later. It’s also good as a ‘lucky dip’ technique as you can mix all sorts of random sounds and see what you get.

I’ll use Samplr more when I have a specific idea in mind that needs a bit of life. The ‘tape mode’ is quite good for that.

For me, Leap motion is probably the hardest to find an efficient workflow. Would still have a go if time permitted and I needed a bit of inspiration.

Cheers.

Cool, yet another interesting app. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah the Seaboard looks very cool! Would love to try one as well.

Thanks Michael, nice link!

Yeah definitely seeing more and more of this kind of stuff now, it will be interesting to see how it evolves, and how we as sound designers can use it.

Hi James,

Thank you, yeah the Hexapads can be a lot of fun :)

Also, nice tip with Audiomux. Definitely a cheaper alternative, cheers.

I’m curious how often you find yourself using these tools on real-world projects. Looks like a lot of fun but have you found them to be efficient in getting the results you’re looking for?

I imagine some are more ‘play’ oriented and require quite a lot of time, but from the look of it, others might actually be a faster workflow than the more traditional alternatives. Not having experimented with these tools as much as you have, I’m curious to hear your opinions on this. Thanks again!
