Flashbelt 2010 coming soon!
May 9th, 2010
One of my favorite conferences is just 5 weeks away and I am already excited to travel to Minneapolis for the fourth time. Dave Schroeder is always a very caring host, which makes Flashbelt a very social and special conference. I especially look forward to the parties where I suppose Keston Westdal to make live - music at one evening. They are amazing!
If you don't have your ticket yet and are able to take a trip to Minneapolis, do not hesitate!

Flash on the Beach – Audio Workshop Sold Out!
May 3rd, 2010
John told me today that my workshop Audio Code Clash is already sold out! Great!
This will be some conference and I will also have my session Pulsatile Crackle!
I am really excited about all this. If you don't have tickets yet, go sack them quickly. I am pretty sure, that they are leaving John's hands right away.
Also, John was asking me how I find myself being Marilynized.
Ah! That's it! Marilynized! Hell yes, I like that ;) That's what makes FOTB so special, right?

Playback MP3-Loop (gapless)
April 9th, 2010
This is one of the most frequently asked question in my inbox.
Is it possible to loop MP3 without gaps?
Yes, but to answer the question I like to explain, why gap-less MP3 looping was actually not possible before Flash10 (Except for Flash-IDE encoded MP3 or ugly hacks). Read the rest of this entry »

ToneMatrix amazing ride still amazes me. Every day I receive a lot of comments and emails and I really appreciate the feedback.
But listen: In Audiotool 1.0 (Public on Thursday!) you can also control the Pulverisateur (our new synthesizer) with the simple user-interface from the ToneMatrix. It is fun!

Audiotool 1.0 (sound preview)
February 4th, 2010
We are coming closer to the release. Still a long todo-list, but I see light. While developing the last months, I sometimes completely forgot, what we are actually building. This morning I decided to play around for half an hour to test the usability, sounding and performance. Despite the new complex features like the sequencer and zoom-able desktop the performance seems to be outstanding.
So here is D'n'B at 175bpm, composed with two audio loops (heavily spliced), 303, two instances of our new synthesizer that I love and some effect devices.
Estimated release date early march 2010.

ZwanzigZehn – TwentyTen
January 2nd, 2010
Happy new year everybody!
This will be a big year for me and the Audiotool team. After a long time of research, refactoring, conception, politics, rethinking and building frameworks of any kind, we will finally launch V1.0. We also expect to update the application in a more frequent manner 2010 since we are safe on core technologies as far as the Flashplayer is capable of. Flash is indeed the most widespread browser plugin, but actually the worst choice for a music application. You decide soon - if we did the necessary magic. In any case I hope, that the project will be a success so Adobe feels the need to enhance the Sound API in Flash11 again (Vorbis, Latency, Midi,..).
Thanks to:
Joa Ebert, Kai-Philipp Schöllmann, Alan Ross, Andre Stubbe, Philipp Granzin, Axel Philipsenburg and to all organizing forces beyond us. You guys are simply amazing!
I have never been so busy and occupied by a project in my coding life. I am sorry for all the unanswered emails and the lack of posts on my blog in 2009.
