  • Waved Studio is a FREE browser-based wavetable editor
    Speight Audio has released Waved Studio, a free browser-native wavetable editor for producers and sound designers. I wasn’t expecting too much when the developer first sent this over (I’ve seen quite a few lackluster browser-based tools for music producers), but Waved Studio is far more advanced than a quick browser toy. I’m not sure how [...]

  • Karanyi Sounds Cloudmax 3Cloudmax 3 turns any audio into rhythmic patterns, harmonic layers, or musical textures. Cloudmax 3 is not a reverb and not a straight granular tool. It pairs a granular texture engine with a tuned modal resonator — so you get both the smear and a musical body underneath it. If you've tried to get this sound with reverb + granular + EQ chained together, you'll understand what's different in 30 seconds of demo. Vocals Make vocals huge. Smear a single take into a wall of breath. Cloud Models stack grains under the dry signal, dual reverb pushes it into the room. Guitars Add depth to guitars. Slide a granular tail under a clean DI. Resonator adds body, motion modulates the air around it. Percussion Build crazy rhythmic FX. Tempo-synced grains chop loops into new patterns. Texture Pitch Modes lock everything in key. Foley & Sound Design Ambiences from anything. Drop in a field recording, footstep, or breath. Cloudmax 3 stretches it into a cinematic bed. Read More
