Many #music #Producers keep some 'Leftover' projects, so how to organize and revisit your #musicproduction later? This message makes a perfect sense for me: "Reusing and recycling old ideas might not sound very attractive to a beginning producer; you might have all kinds of ideas all the time, but experience trouble translating them into music. But trust me—once you get to the inevitable point where ideas become more scarce than ability, you’ll thank yourself for establishing organization."

Simple Pen Plotter Rolls On The TablePen plotters are popular builds amongst DIY CNC enthusiasts. They’re a great way to learn the fundamentals of motion control and make something useful along the way. In that vein, [Maker101] has created a neat barebones plotter for tabletop use. 
The basic design relies on familiar components. It uses a pair of MGN15 linear rails as the basis of the motion platform, along with NEMA 17 stepper motors to run the X and Y axes. These are assembled with the aid of 3D-printed parts that bring the whole frame together, along with a pen lifter operated with a hobby servo.
The neat thing about the design is that the barebones machine is designed to sit upon an existing tabletop. This eliminates the need to integrate a large flat work surface into the plotter itself. Instead, the X axis just runs along whatever surface you place it on, rolling on a small wheel. It’s likely not ideal for accuracy or performance; we could see the machine itself skating around if run too fast. For a lightweight barebones plotter, though, it works well enough.
If you dig building plotters, you might like to step up to something more laser-y in future. Video after the break.

These producers swear by Soundtoys plugins — here are the best deals on them this weekendIt feels like every producer we interview at MusicTech has something to say about Soundtoys plugins. Whether it’s John Summit using Soundtoys for melodic house or Kevin Saunderson and The Blessed Madonna using Little AlterBoy and Decapitator on techno tracks, these plugins are used by producers both famous and novice. This weekend’s probably your best chance to get in on the action with up to 75% off on Plugin Boutique.

Over this Cyber Weekend, all of Soundtoys hits are on offer. That includes the saturation plugin, Decapitator, which is down 75% to $50; the venerable Little AlterBoy vocal processing unit, which is down to $42, and EchoBoy, which is down 75% to $50.
If you’ve been tempted by the whole Soundtoys 5.4 collection which packs in all 21 plugins, then we’ve got good news for you: it’s discounted by $295, bringing the price to $215. That works out to just over $10 a plugin — not bad at all.
Speaking about Soundtoys plugins, The Blessed Madonna said “half the tracks on [my album, Godspeed,] are just run through Decapitator 25 times. I also used [SoundToys’] Radiator on everything,” adding that Atlanta-based wildcard DJ/producer Nikki Nair uses it with a “complete lack of fear around distortion and saturation.”
Check out the Soundtoys collection on sale at Plugin Boutique.

Building a Generator That Runs Off Hose Power[Paul Junkin] bought a curious product off the Internet. It was supposed to generate electricity when hooked up to a running hose. Only, it didn’t do a very good job. His solution was straightforward—he built his own hose-powered generator that actually worked.
The design uses a turbine hooked up to a small motor acting as a generator. To maximize the transfer of energy from the stream of water to the blades of the turbine, the hose is hooked up to a convergent nozzle. [Paul] does a great job explaining the simple physics at play, as well as the iterative design process he used to get to the final product. He calculates the best-case power coming out of his hose around 50 watts, so for his turbine to collect 22 watts is a win, and it’s good enough to charge a phone or run some LED lighting.
Of course, this isn’t a practical generator if you have to pay for the water, and there are other solutions that will get you less wet. Still, credit where it’s due—this thing does make power when you hook it up to a hose. We’ve seen some slightly less ridiculous concepts in this space before, though.
