The Guitar: Tracing the Grain Back to the Tree

By | June 10, 2021

The Guitar: Tracing the Grain Back to the Tree

The Guitar : Tracing the Grain Back to the Tree

Guitars inspire cult-like devotion: an aficionado can tell you precisely when and where their favorite instrument was made, the wood it is made from, and that wood’s unique effect on the instrument’s sound. In The Guitar, Chris Gibson and Andrew Warren follow that fascination around the globe as they trace guitars all the way back to the tree. The authors take us to guitar factories, port cities, log booms, remote sawmills, Indigenous lands, and distant rainforests, on a quest for behind-the-scenes stories and insights into how guitars are made, where the much-cherished guitar timbers ultimately come from, and the people and skills that craft those timbers along the way.

Gibson and Warren interview hundreds of people to give us a first-hand account of the ins and outs of production methods, timber milling, and forest custodianship in diverse corners of the world, including the Pacific Northwest, Madagascar, Spain, Brazil, Germany, Japan, China, Hawaii, and Australia. They unlock surprising insights into longer arcs of world history: on the human exploitation of nature, colonialism, industrial capitalism, cultural tensions, and seismic upheavals. But the authors also strike a hopeful note, offering a parable of wider resonance—of the incredible but underappreciated skill and care that goes into growing forests and felling trees, milling timber, and making enchanting musical instruments, set against the human tendency to reform our use (and abuse) of natural resources only when it may be too late. The Guitar promises to resonate with anyone who has ever fallen in love with a guitar.

INHALT – Townhouse RMX // AMS RMX 16 IR Library

By | June 10, 2021

INHALT – Townhouse RMX // AMS RMX 16 IR Library

INHALT – Townhouse RMX // AMS RMX 16 IR Library

Introducing the Townhouse RMX by INHALT: the most comprehensive impulse response library of the legendary AMS RMX 16 reverb processor from a very legendary studio. Townhouse RMX features 194 expertly sampled impulse responses of every major algorithm of the RMX 16.
Unlike other impulse responses of the AMS, Townhouse RMX features various onboard EQ settings for each decay time. The RMX 16 drastically changes its decay and reverb characteristic depending on the EQ settings of the onboard low and high EQ, so we sampled each decay time at numerous EQ settings for a deep and detailed representation of the legendary reverb.

The AMS RMX 16 we sampled comes from the infamous Townhouse Studios. Townhouse Studios was originally built by Richard Branson to be the hub of Virgin Records. This very unit was used on breakthrough records from Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Phil Collins, Duran Duran and many other major recordings from the 80s and 90s. Interestingly, the AMS itself, with its legendary NonLin setting was designed to emulate the gated drum sound developed at Townhouse on Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight”.

Compared to the actual hardware, these impulse responses, to our and the ears of other major producers, exude the realness, depth, and three dimensionality better than DSP emulations of the RMX. During critical listening tests conducted in several major recording studios (with real AMS RMX 16s in the fx rack), we were throughly impressed with the accuracy of the impulses in completely capturing the unique sound of the RMX 16.

The impulse response library is organized in an easy to read manner and all relevant information is in the file name itself. For example, Plate_0.1s_-2L-2H.wav let’s us know instantly that it’s the Plate algorithm, at a .1 second decay time with a -2 setting on the Low EQ and a -2 setting on the High EQ. Because of this organization, it’s very quick to find the exact setting needed, just like punching the big square buttons on the actual AMS RMX itself.

A note on normalization:

we shot out the RMX 16 at optimum studio levels to capture the impulses at the most optimal and correct level for the AMS. We wanted to preserve the authenticity of the RMX 16 so we did not try to alter the responses beyond the usual editing that needs to happen with impulses. If you feel that some of the levels are too loud or too low for your particular convolution processor, please feel free to normalize or re-gain the impulses to levels that work for your individual processor. All testing was carried out on Waves IR1 and we were very pleased with the results with no further processing.

• 194 individual impulse responses of the AMS RMX 16.

• Multiple EQ settings sampled for each decay time.

• Impulse responses of every AMS RMX 16 reverb algorithm including the legendary NonLin gated drum reverb // Ambience, Plate, Hall B3, Hall C1, NonLin 2, Room A1, Chorus 1.

• AMS RMX 16 sampled comes from Townhouse Studios and is exact unit used on classic records from Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Phil Collins and many more.

Transcribe! 9.10.0 [WIN]

By | June 10, 2021

Transcribe! 9.10.0 [WIN]

Transcribe! 9.10.0 [WIN]

The Transcribe! application is an assistant for people who want to work out a piece of music from a recording, in order to write it out, or play it themselves, or both. It doesn’t do the transcribing for you, but it is essentially a specialised player program which is optimised for the purpose of transcription. It has many transcription-specific features not found on conventional music players.

It is also used by many people for play-along practice. It can change pitch and speed instantly, and you can store and recall any number of named loops. So you can practice in all keys, and you can speed up as well as slow down. There is some advice about play-along practice in Transcribe!’s help, under the heading “Various Topics”.

And it is also used for speech transcription. With its support for foot pedals and its superior slowed-down sound quality, it is an excellent choice for this purpose. There is some advice about speech transcription in Transcribe!’s help, under the heading “Various Topics”.

Conventional music players (whether hardware such as a CD player or an iPod, or software such as Windows Media Player or iTunes) are really designed for people who want to listen to whole tracks. They are very inconvenient for transcribing music as they are not designed for this purpose. If you copy the recording to your computer’s hard disk as a sound file then you can use Transcribe! instead. Transcribe! offers many features aimed at making the transcription job smoother and easier, including the ability to slow down music without changing its pitch, to analyse chords and show you what notes are present, and the capability of adding markers and textual annotations so you can easily navigate around the track. Transcribe! also has a piano keyboard displayed on screen which you can click to play reference notes.

It is important to understand that Transcribe! does not attempt to do the whole job, processing an audio file and outputting musical notation or midi – this would be nice, but is a currently unsolved research problem. The spectrum analysis feature is very useful for working out those hard-to-hear chords, but you must still use your ear and brain to decide which of the peaks in the spectrum are notes being played, which are merely harmonics, and which are just the result of noise and broad-spectrum instruments such as drums. If you have never worked out even a simple piece of music by ear then Transcribe! will probably not help you (see How to Transcribe), but if you do sometimes work out recorded music by ear then Transcribe! can make the job a lot quicker and easier.

Features:
Depending on version, Transcribe! reads audio from many different types of audio file and audio CD. It also has a “Record” facility for recording from analog sources such as cassette or vinyl. It displays the audio waveform and allows you to scroll around, place markers for sections, measures and beats, and easily play or loop from any point.

Transcribe! can also display the video synchronised to the audio for many video files.

Loops and positions can be stored and recalled. There are many keyboard shortcuts and you can configure these as you like. You can configure Transcribe! to respond to pedals of various types so as to keep your hands free : start and stop playback with your feet!

There is extensive and readable help accessible from within the program.

The “spectrum” feature displays the strength of the various pitches in any chord or note you select, in the form of a graph – a wavy line over a piano keyboard graphic. The heights of the various peaks in the graph indicate the strength of the note above which the peak appears. This is not a magic bullet for analysing chords but it can be a very useful source of information.

Transcribe! will perform “note guessing” and “chord guessing” – that is, it will attempt to interpret the spectrum information for you, marking the notes being played on the piano keyboard, and attempting to name the chords (in standard form such as “Am”, “E7#9”, etc). Note guesses can be displayed in “piano roll” form, showing the guesses over time, aligned to the waveform view.

Transcribe! supports Automation (or Scripting). You can run Transcribe! automatically from commands in a file, perhaps to process a number of sound files, saving them at different altered speeds, or to instruct Transcribe! to play various sound files with various effects.

Transcribe! offers various audio processing effects (Slowdown, Pitch Change, EQ filtering etc) intended to help with transcribing. These effects all run in “real time”. This means there is no pre-processing or other waiting, the processing is performed on-the-fly while playing and you can instantly hear the effect of changes to EQ etc. For instance if you press the half-speed button while playing then playback simply continues, at half speed.
