    Trying Out United Plugin's New Plugin DIFIX (a Virtual DI) on Samples, Loops & Virtual Instruments!

    Hey Sonics!

    It is Tuesday 15th December 2020 and in this week's episode we're trying out a brand new plugin from United Plugins & Soundevice Digital DIFIX.  And we won't be trying it out on guitars and bass; that's what people would expect us to do, we'll be trying it out on samples, loops, and virtual instruments.

    Cleaning Up Old Archive Public Domain Recording / Audio for Use in Modern Pop Productions

    Cleaning Up Old Archive Public Domain Recording / Audio for Use in Modern Pop Productions

    Hey Sonics!

    How is everyone doing this week?  Ready for Christmas?  Ready for 2021?

    In this week's episode of Tobisonics, we're cleaning up an old archive public domain recording/audio for use in modern pop production.  And we'll be using my latest single, "Military Industrial Complex" as an example.  Even though iZotope has released a new version of RX, for the purposes of this demonstration, we'll be using RX7 because this is the version I used on the production.  And we'll be keeping things simple by just using the plugins.

    Sound Design - Using FXs To Build Up The Stereo Image

    Sound Design - Using FXs To Build Up The Stereo Image

    Hey Sonics! I hope you all grabbed yourself some bargains in the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales.  In this week's Tobisonics episode, we're taking a look at the Sound Design in my latest single, "Military Industrial Complex".  We'll be going right back to the raw production; no mix, no master; just the mono production and building the Sound Design up effects layer by effects layer, from panning to EQ, dynamics to delay, and finally reverb.  You'll get to see how each effects layer adds to the overall stereo image of the Sound Design, adding width and depth as we go.

    New Updated Version of My Goto Lofi FX iZotope Vinyl (Free Plugin)

    Hey Sonics!

    It's getting cold out, hope you're all wrapped up warm and staying fit & healthy.  In this week's episode, we're taking a look at the new updated version of my goto Lofi FX iZotope Vinyl (a free plugin).

    Instead of doing another blah, blah, blah, demo, I thought I'd show you all how I use iZotope Vinyl in my own productions.  We're going to take a look at how I used it in my debut single, "All These Things", the follow-up, "Military Industrial Complex", and a production I'm currently working on, "Piano Sham (working title)".
