CrusherX Tutorial 19 "Granular Extractions"
or: Diving Down the Mariana Trench of Sound
Tutorial 19 about granular synthesis with CrusherX is available now (02/07/2018).
It deals with the question:
How to extract new exciting future sounds for our sample players from all kinds of sound sources (including field recordings) using granular processes?
After a bit more than 98 hours of work this video has got the longest one I´ve ever made so far:
3 hours and 12 minutes (I´ve split the video in two parts to make downloading easier).
And it´s packed with approaches, rules, facts, tricks and hints and a lot of practical examples including a complete case study.
