Music production with open-source software and Linux?
With this video I'm starting a new "season" of my video-making activity.I've had plenty of time with the unfa vlog series to learn some lessons, and I've decided it's time to implement some changes.As I've been preparing the necessary changes while making this video - it took me three weeks ...

The dream is coming true...
My dream is to work as an artist, to work for the open-source community and to work with music and video.I've been holding this news for a few months now, because I didn't want to speak too soon.

UV#29 Sound design with Wolf Shaper
In this third (and final) video about Wolf Shaper I focus on sound design.Since this video is over 40 minutes long I've made detailed timestamps to make it easier to navigate it.Usually I'd make a coherent piece of music, but I wanted to focus on sound design and not waste time on composing music, so this video...

My presentation from Sonoj Convention 2018
Here you can see the recording of my presentation.I hope it can be a useful introduction to Automation workflow within Ardour 5.12.I might eventually release my own version of this talk, as I have some additional footage recorded, but that's not a priority.I want to thank Nils Hilbricht for creating the event and m...

Here's the livestream's archive fro those of you who didn't make it, or made it, but wanted to watch it again :)Thank you all for coming, I love hanging out with you, answering questions, making sounds, listening to your music and seeing Pokémon drawings uploaded instead of music into the Filebin...I'v...
Reworked the Tiers
I've just revamped the Tiers. They are purely for fun right now, as all patrons get the same rewards right now.Patreon doesn't update that automatically (probably becasue that'd result in creators needing to re-send all rewards), so if you want to make it update your Tier based on your pledge - you can canc...
Livestream starting in less than 3 hours!

UV#28 Using Wolf Shaper distortion plug-in for mixing
Here's the second video in the mini series about Wolf Shaper.Since you already know Wolf Shaper's interface and controls after watching the previous video - in this one I'll jump right in and show you how I use it to spice up the sounds that make up my music.

Well, I wasn't ready for that...
UV#27 Wolf-Shaper: introduction
One thing I've been silently wishing to see emerging from the open-source audio community was an LV2 waveshaper plug-in that I could use to define custom distortion curves. There were bits and pieces of something like that around, but always locked inside of a package, that couldn't be used universally across m...
UV#26 Installing Ardour and Zyn-Fusion for free!
I see a lot of confusion about this. Ardour and Zyn-Fusion are both fully open-source, but the official binaries are not free of charge. Ardour gives you full access for as little as $1/mo of PayPal subscription, while Zyn-Fusion binaries cost a minimum amount of $45 (+ VAT).For the time being the only alternative for ...
July 2018 update
It's been a month since I uploaded my last video. A busy month. Unfortunately - I didn't manage to do much regarding videos, but I've moved to a new flat (with a new, separate home studio room!) and I am getting married in less than 4 weeks now - so you can probably imagine.However I managed to finally inst...
UV#25 Synthesizing a dirty bass with allpass filter and distortion
I've been playing around with this trick in a few of my tracks, and I've decided to share it with you.Allpass filters are not a very common effect found in Linux Audio world. In fact - I only know one LADSPA plugin that does this. It's called 4x4 pole allpass by Steve Harris (the SWH plugin suite).As I coul...
