I found an interesting interview with Richard Devine today. Being a sound designer my self I really appreciate the kind of sonic decimation that Richard produces.

The interview gives a good insight into his working practices and talks also about algorithmic composition.

Sounds of Mummy : Womb Sound Ambient Album

Posted on 6/9/2011 2:18:42 AM by steveh

For the last few months I have been moving the Haunted House Records website over to a new server and completely redeveloping the site to use a custom content management system.

Sounds of Mummy ambient womb sounds. Calm your new born baby to sleep.

As part of this move we effectively took the Sounds Of Mummy website off-line. I have now put this product back on-line so the digital version can be purchased.

Review : Frontier Designs Alphatrack

Review Model : Self Purchased

For a while I have been searching for the ultimate DAW controller. Initially I looked at some of the larger control surfaces from companies like Mackie, but I really didn't want a huge box on my desk. I work mainly in the box these days so I am keen to get away from large bulky mixing units.

For ages I just worked with the mouse and never really considered the single fader control surfaces until I read a post on the Reaper forums where someone was raving about them.

Review : Tascam DR-07 Field Recorder

Posted on 6/3/2011 7:09:11 AM by steveh

This review initially appeared on my old blog back in 2009. Since developing new blogging software for this site I decided to move the review over to this blog as this is still a very popular budget field recorder.

The other day I had a new portable field recorder turn up, the Tascam DR-07. This recorder has only just been released and is actually their entry level model sitting below the Tascam DR-01. I initially liked the idea of this recorder because it is nice and small so I can carry it with me everywhere.
