Merry Christmas to everyone! Even if Santa already finished his world tour, he still had some nice gifts for a couple of Designing Sound Exchange members here, starting with Iris 2, the powerful synthesizer by iZotope. As you might already know by now, if you're interested in Iris 2, please take a break from your chocolate-eating holidays and head over to DSX and start … [Read more...]

Sunday Sound Thought 52 – Reflection
I started this series a year ago...well, a year ago next week...with the goal of making myself continue thinking about sound in new ways. When I was regularly writing longer pieces for this site, that was easy to do.

They first grabbed my attention with their awesome audio restoration tools. I still prefer Unveil over RX's De-Reverb tool, and Unchirp and Unfilter have remained staples in my "gotta make this … [Read more...]
