Analog Sound Design
Is it possible? Could we create sound, effects without ableton? And can any hardware replace it?

Re: Analog Sound Design
OP: You suggesting that Abelton is only other alternative to SP? That's kinda bold statement...lol
For analog, Korg's been spitting out cheap analog gear left and right. Use tapes and records for sample sources. Record back to tape...
hell, bounce from tape to tape to tape and get 3rd generation analogue detail loss if you want.

Re: Analog Sound Design
I enjoyed this, thank you!
I can't recall if I have seen it before but it was awesome again if I have. I get hypnotized by that Dr.Who theme song every time I hear it. Nice to know backmasking was used, I/ve been very interested in this technique recently.

and here is a creative demo of the theory, I think I;ve learned all my cool tricks in ableton or been inspired by Dubspots youtube posts/ Thank you

Re: Analog Sound Design
Backmasking is awesome for eerie reverse reverb swell into a forward playing sample/voice...

Re: Analog Sound Design
Yeah man, I also just found out today that I can send a sample from my computer/ipod/music device etc. through the monotron and get crazy fat analog distortion if you crank up your computer sound level. You can also do some really deep bass filtering low pass filter sweeps with the ms-20 modeled filter on there. I have a monotron delay so I can stop the playback in my audio device and open up the delay to catch a sound and then warp it with the time knob. I can only imagine if you have an electric guitar or piano that you can also take use of the distortion "effect".

Re: Analog Sound Design
Mic an over-driven tube amp. Then put it through a reverb tank.
