Am I being drawn to the dark side? Using a computer for audio processing! The Apple Macbook Pro combined with the Konnekt6 firewire interface opens up a lot of audio possibilities. I learned about Audio Mulch by hanging out on Muff Wiggler’s message board, and downloaded the 60-day trial. Audio Mulch provides a modular approach to sound processing. It has a drag-and-drop work area where you can create instances of effects, mixers, etc., and patch them together with the mouse. I am a relative newbie to computer audio. (I’ve used Pro Tools LE and Cubase LE as recorders). I was hoping I could make use of Audio Mulch as an effects processor in real time, something I didn’t see how to do with Cubase. And I could! For this recording I opened a file on the output ‘contraption’ and recorded a WAV in 24-bit resolution. Then I played it back and routed it to my Tascam SS-R1 to get an MP3. I was noodling with the Random Walk patch as my input and stumbled on the Audio Mulch 5Combs filter. You can make as many filters of the same type as you like, so I created two instances of 5Combs for a stereo patch. Here’s a short example.
