All of the above it seems as I received some emails with links to videos this month of the not so quiet war being waged with weapons of weather when along came a beta of Imitone which allows you to control synths with your voice. So this piece was recorded with no hands, voice control only, as the synths followed the pitch and dynamics of what ever I fed into the microphone. Warning: Tech talk for all you studio, synth and sequencer geeks out there. As usual, this piece began in Bidule with a batch of soft synths (4 Absynths, 2 Vaz Modulars and 1 Wavestation) which were being sent MIDI information that Imitone had extracted from my humming into an old stereo Sony mic. Recorded in Bidule, mixed, edited and mastered in Reaper with Alloy, RX and Ozone with a bit of added Lexicon reverb thrown in for good measure. This is the third in a series of URM studio explorations to be released to the PiNG LiST in 2014. Get them while you can as a fresh piece will be uploaded soon. Don't worry if you miss any of them as they will later be collected together into an LP which will also include 5.1 surround sound versions. "Weather Warring" is copyright Jamie Todd 2014.
