Using the surround panner matrix FX in Reaper to build Space Worlds with Fundamental & Reaktor

In this video I look at how you can use the surround panner plugin matrix in Reaper to blend between different effects on different channels. This is a really useful sound design technique and also can be used compositionally to create ever evolving soundscapes.

Train journey from Crewe to London Euston // Soundscape Recording

Train journey from Crewe to London Euston // Soundscape Recording

Soundscape recording of parts of a journey from inside a Virgin Pendolino train, travelling from Crewe to London Euston. The soft low rumble of a train over the tracks, the gentle sounds of the trains air conditioning, the sounds of quiet conversation.

London Binaural Soundscape // Tottenham Court Road to Charing Cross Road soundwalk

London Binaural Soundscape // Tottenham Court Road to Charing Cross Road soundwalk

This recording was made on the 3rd April 2008 as I undertook a soundwalk from Tottenham Court Road underground station, along Charing Cross Road (via Denmark Street). This is a part of London which 13 years later is VERY different, many of the landmark buildings have gone to make way for Crossrail and the new TCR station.

Train station // Binaural soundscape

I love the buzz and vibrance of a train station platform. There is always so much to take in sonically, but often we are distracted by the hustle and bustle of what is going on as we wait. I find soundscape recordings of train stations give you another insight and perspective to the inner workings of our hive like behaviour at transport hubs.

SonicLab Fundamental Plugin // Is this much fun actually legal? (1st play through)

We all love a good new plugin don’t we, but seriously, this one is SO much fun I am left wondering if it is actually legal?

I have just been checking out Fundamental from Soniclab, the plugin collaboration of Hainbach and Sinan Bökesoy. Only one word needed. Awesome!

As a creator of a lot of texture based, ambient soundscapes and music compositions, the tone and the way that this creates evolving soundscapes and drones is incredible. I this demo video of the plugin, where I am using it for the first time, I also added some Eventide Blackhole reverb with an additional added touch from AudioThing Speakers (also awesome!!)

There is so much more to explore with this plugin, especially when you start layering multiple instances of Fundamental together!

Enjoy!
