Trash Audio

The Trash Audio blog is a great resource for all sorts of interesting audio stuff. Their series of interviews with producers about their studios, workspaces and working methods is particularly interesting. Check out the articles on Tim Exile, Aaron Spectre, 000 and Captain Ahab for a start. There are plenty more linked in the side bar.

For music producers and "gAbleton" geeks, here's Sebastian Tomczak's blog post about his LFO to CC Max patch [5.1MB zip, note the link in the post is dead] and a video of it running with Live.

ChucK => Strongly-timed, On-the-fly Audio Programming Language
"what is it? : ChucK is a new (and developing) audio programming language for real-time synthesis, composition, and performance - fully supported on MacOS X, Windows, and Linux. ChucK presents a new time-based, concurrent programming model that's highly precise and expressive (we call this strongly-timed), as well as dynamic control rates, and the ability to add and modify code on-the-fly. In addition, ChucK supports MIDI, OSC, HID device, and multi-channel audio. Furthermore, the language is designed to favor readability and flexibility over raw performance. It's fun and easy to learn, and offers composers, researchers, and performers a powerful programming tool for building and experimenting with complex audio synthesis programs, and real-time interactive control."

Ableton and Cycling '74 announce Strategic Partnership
Interesting news. I already use Albeton Live and have been trying for a while to get mu head around Puredata. But if Cycling '74's Max/MSP was fully integrated into Live I'd have to give it a go at that.

(For the non-audio geeks: Pd and Max are very similar and are both based on the work of Miller Puckette at IRCAM. The difference is that Pd is open source and still watched over by Puckette whilst Max is now privately owed and sold by Cycling '74.)
