Massive presets: Tutorial presets Original fret_1 presets Original Neuro Bass Hive presets containing WODAN Since the fret_1 video seems to be doing quite well on YouTube as well as Vimeo, we decided to complete the cycle by unraveling a bit of the production magic in three in-depth fret tutorials.

Read MoreDIY Waterphone
[Update] Richard Waters, the inventor of the Waterphone was kind enough to point out the construction and sound of a real waterphone is very different (and a lot more work). Please visit Richards website here. Today I got an email about my EM411 article on making a DIY waterphone.

Maybe it’s because off em411′s SEO or because it’s a really...

Read MoreSound Design in FL Studio? Yes You Can!
